4. Not surprising since Letterman is on CBS. Such corporate bullshit.

6. Palin's been pretty clever
to exploit the CBS vs. NBC war going on right now for the 11:30 spot. But you have to say that Letterman gave her that vulnerability. If he had simply decided to leave a politician's daughters out of his jokes, he wouldn't be squirming about this right now.

7. Agreed.
I didn't even think it was that funny. Guess I didn't "get" it.
