ON LETTERMAN
I don't think David Letterman should be fired for making tasteless jokes about the Palin family.
The only reason a host should be fired is if his show isn't drawing enough advertising revenue, and the producers think that he could be replaced by someone who could reverse the trend.
It's a financial decision that should be left up to the powers-that-be at CBS.
Personally, I give the guy credit for making "Stupid Pet Tricks" and "Top 10 Lists" into household phrases, but outside of that, his comedic style has always struck me as too ploddingly-paced and flatly un-clever to be particularly entertaining.
But if people really want to watch his dull caperings, I won't stop them.
