Dirty Dave Sucks Up to Phony ObamaPublished in September 23rd, 2009 | EditPosted by Berlet98 in AMERICAN CULTURE TODAY, MEDIA, OBAMA, POLITICS, obamacareDave Letterman, best known of late for his lascivious comments about Sarah Palin and her underage daughters, hosted President Obama Monday night.
He provided a fawning, unfettered forum, devoid of substantive challenges with an audience selectively stuffed to the brim with Obama worshippers for the president to ramble on with his usual, misleading tripe about Obamacare and his deep concern for the billions of poor, (at last count), uninsured amongst us.
As an interview, it failed miserably. Dirty Dave, who still constantly lashes out at Sarah Palin for exposing his latent pedophilia, played a pale Ed McMahon to Obama’s Johnny Carson, with Dave skillfully setting up Obama up for his lines as if it was all unrehearsed.
At a loss for what to say without appearing to criticize Obama, Letterman’s patented “Top Ten List of Reasons Why President Obama Agreed to Appear on the Show” included just one overt, political jibe: “2. Said yes, without thinking, like Bush did with Iraq.”
Poor Dave is suffering with George Bush out of office and no opportune moments to present more slanted “Great Moments in Presidential History” so he and his writers are reduced to outdated potshots.
He could always ridicule any of Obama’s multiple and regular screw-ups, such as his claim to have campaigned in all 57 states or his most recent flub of confusing his daughter, Malia, with his African step-sister, Maya, but let’s get real.
Satire must be P.C. selective. Bush was fair game, Obama is sacrosanct.
I thought I would offer my own “Top Ten Reasons Why President Obama Agreed to Appear on the Show:”
10. He knew Dave would throw only softball questions probably approved in advance.
9. He knew Letterman idolizes him and has never tossed snide remarks in his direction.
8. He knew he wouldn’t be asked any questions that required thought, such as George Stephanopoulis’ Sunday query on what constitutes a tax.
7. He knew Dave was well-insured and wasn’t likely to hit him up for a loan to pay medical bills.
