Watch CBS Videos Online CBS News: Addressing suggestions that recent criticism of his health care reform efforts has been grounded in racism, President Obama this afternoon quipped, “I think it’s important to realize that I was actually black before the
Not to go an analogy too far, but Sarah Palin seems to be taking a page from the Hollywood playbook of George Lucas. She has just completed her own introductory trilogy, and it was an astonishing success. First, she was
Also on part one of Wednesday’s show: We examine coverage of the Fire David Letterman Rally.
While I’d be the first to admit I’m not quite Alan Alda, I like to think I’m still a feminist, in a Flintstone sort of way (read conservative). Yeah, my wife would probably be the first one to tell you,
So David Letterman apologized one more time, and boy was it painful. Now, I know that for some folks, this is a big win. Not for me. Letterman getting cornered over a crass joke means little to me – if
A friend of mine sent a link to a website that advocates CBS firing late-night host David Letterman for his over-the-top jokes about Sarah Palin and her children. The site tells readers what they can do to help make this
From Fox News: Sarah Palin has accepted comedian David Letterman’s apology made during Monday night’s broadcast of “The Late Show” for crude jokes made about her and her teen daughters last week. In a statement to FOXNews.com early Tuesday, the

The Main Point The world view, or philosophical perspective, of Sarah Palin versus say, David Letterman’s or Katie Couric’s, is profound at its core. Not only are the philosophical differences profound, but the political implications of those differences are as
David Letterman was just rising – earlier than you might think for a guy who’s show is on late enough for college partiers and “freelancers” to enjoy without fear of feeling tired the next day. You’d think that only if
[youtube j5g8kE_g-YA nolink] — To be amazed at how low David Letterman will stoop in order to humiliate Sarah Palin means we still think of him as an entertainer, instead of what he is: a leftist ideologue willing to do
April 29, 2009. 100 days. In case you were in a sensory deprivation tank, you probably know full well that Wednesday was the 100th day of the Obama Administration, and most of the news shows used it as an excuse
Is there a stranger show on television than “Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld“? Careening between train wreck and brilliance (often within the same five minute segment), “Red Eye” has been providing necrophilia jokes and toilet humor alongside serious political commentary
Last week, I took a little bit of heat for calling David Letterman a hack (and also dashed any remaining hopes I had for ever appearing on his show). Just in case there’s any doubt of my allegation, I present
Barack Obama has only been portraying the president for about 60 days or so, but his representation really needs to reconsider his branding. I don’t know if he’s with ICM, CAA or whatever William Morris and Endeavor are going to
I anticipated the new U2 album, “No Line on the Horizon,” with something approaching dread – the kind of dread only a longtime fan can muster. I stuck with U2 virtually my whole life – from their sophomore album October
Hello Republicans, This is your old friend Tokyo Rose LaHood. I want to take this moment to say hi to all my fellow Republicans whom I love so dearly. Don’t you feel silly in your little foxholes, fighting for a
When I first thought about writing this piece, I was only going to list my all-time favorite movies, breaking them down by decade. I was going to explain that these weren’t my idea of the greatest or most innovative films
Out here in the sticks, despite the fabulous inventions technology has brought us, news travels slowly. I like Letterman but don’t often watch the show because I’m usually either writing or in bed at 11:30 P.M. Besides, I am a

Republican candidate Mike Huckabee will likely have to cross a picket line to appear on the “Tonight Show” with Jay Leno. Huckabee thought the writers had an agreement with late night shows, but that only applies to David Letterman’s show.
