Letterman has no class

I was a big fan of Dave Letterman throughout his afternoon and late night career, and during the first part of his Late Show stint. But his patented combination of Far Left snarkiness and tasteless humor cost him my viewship long ago.

Now stupid, malicious gags about Sarah Palin and sexual innuendo about her teenage daughter have become his stock in trade.

The guy simply doesn't have a smidgen of class anymore. And with his talent, it's a real shame. Oh, well. Now I have one more reason for my status as a confirmed Conan O'Brien man.

ADDENDUM: And it looks like Letterman isn't going to issue a genuine apology, either.

ADDENDUM II: Give him credit. He finally did.
