Dear Dave:
You used to be funny, in a folksy, Midwestern way. I used to even sometimes watch you. Not any more. I finally got tired of the whining about not getting the "Tonight Show" and Jay Leno getting it instead. And now, you've "lost out" again, this time to Conan O'Brien, so I guess the whining will continue. I also finally got tired of the good ole Dave I once liked becoming more the New York pseudo-sophisticated and, well, quite frankly, snobby Dave. And I really got tired of your shtick when you also began using lame humor for liberal political activism and being snarky about it, to boot. Besides, you know Leno was always funnier anyway, Dave.
But I heard that, on your show last Tuesday, you referred to Alaska's governor Sarah Palin as having the style of a "slutty flight attendant." This from a guy who wears custom-made suits worth thousands of dollars with white socks? Ha! Yeah, Dave, you're sure enough of a fashion plate to be giving anybody else "what to wear" advice. Besides, Sarah Palin could wear a burlap bag and still look better than you any day of the week.
I understand you also took a shot at Palin's daughter, while poking fun at the Yankees' third baseman. Good ole folksy Dave said: "One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game, during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."
Not only was that humorless but also classless, Dave. Evidently, you were unaware that it was Palin's 14-year-old daughter Willow who had accompanied her mom to the game, rather than Bristol, her 18-year-old, single mom daughter. But to say either of Palin's daughters was "knocked up" by anybody would have been classless, nay, even tacky and snide.
And tacky and snide are not funny, Dave. They are just tacky and snide. Especially when it comes from a man who finally had a son with, and then finally married, his "girlfriend" of -- how many years, Dave? Twenty-three? Glad you at least had enough class to finally make an honest woman of your girlfriend and legitimize your born-out-of-wedlock son, but even that was going on six years after he was born.
But that's about all the "class" you seem to have left, Dave, and that ain't enough. And it's surely not enough for you to be "making fun" of anybody's else's family, you liberal hypocritical and often humorless hack. Palin has more class in her pinkie finger than you do in your whole, custom-made and expensive but otherwise notably empty suit.
