Letterman has become the "Joan Crawford" of late-night TV talk-show hosts - bizarre, unpleasant, and more than a little scary (I wonder if he yells "No wire hangers!" at his wife when he's home?)
...and they're probably no good at basketball, either.
Wow - another example of Harvey Weinstein's wonderful "moral compass" in action: "Well, uh - technically *cough*, Mr . Letterman doesn't really work for us so we can't, uh, really fire him..." Well, CBS, you can choose not to do business with his "Worldwide Pants" production company, but then that might leave some holes in your broadcast schedule, now, wouldn't it?
Speaking of "cleaning my mind"... "The Carter Sutra: Jimmy and Rosalind’s Illustrated Guide to a Sexually Satisfying Marriage" AAUUUGGH! Now there's a truly horrifying image (it's worse than thinking about your parents having sex).
The problem with Hollywood's "moral compass" is that it's thrown off by that big magnetic deposit known as the "Hollywood ego". Seriously - if Hollywood was forced to hew to the same anti-discrimination, fair hiring, and anti-sexual harassment ordinances that the rest of private enterprise has to follow, lawyers and the government would have put it out of business years ago.
If Chicago had gotten it, all the Illinois tax-payers would have gotten it, too - up the A$$!
It's up for sale for $5 million - only $5 MILLION. The slae of the Boston Globe went for over ten times that amount.
As a resident of Illinois just south of "Crook County" (highest county sales tax in the country!), I say that Chicago's loss was a gain to all the residents of the state of Illinois. If Chicago had gotten the Olympics, we would have seen enormous cost overruns due to graft and cronyism. The taxpayers of Illinois would have been put "on the hook" to feed this pig.
...more like "dissentary" where "dissent" has merged with "commentary" - watch it for more than a few minutes and you'll want to spend the rest of the night sitting on the toilet.
What's that they used to say in the '60's? "Kill your television." The way the networks are going, you might as well - put it out of it's misery. Lately, I've been checking out DVD's of "classic" old movies from my local public library. As long as I turn them in on time, I'm not charged one thin dime.
