Letterman says that calling "Obachmann" a flake insults Kellogg's

David Letterman the other night: "I hear Chris Wallace of (elabortate show of coughing and clearing throat) Chris Wallace of (elaborate show of coughing and clearing throat) Fox News asked Michele Bachmann (sic) whether she was a flake.

"All I have to say is that calling Michele Obachmann (sic) a flake is an insult to the fine folks at Kellogg's."

Letterman used to be a comedian, more or less the way Newsweek used to be a news magazine. Unfortuately, both have given up their previous callings to become purveyors of partisan extremist snark.
