Greta says Lettermen has an obsession with Palin.

[Fuzz]

Or maybe he's just a jerk. They will discuss it coming up on her show.


What a load of shit.

[annabanana]

1. Letterman will just lean on her as long as it's funny. .

I expect it will be funny for a while yet, especially if she continues to cavort in front of the media like that.....

[Blue_In_AK]

34. She is quite good at manipulating the media

and attracting attention. I wish she'd just go back to Wasilla and take care of her kids and disappear from our awareness for a while, but I think she loves the spotlight too much to quit.

Was Michael Jackson getting too much attention? She had to choose THIS time to resign? She's so obvious.

[madokie]

37. She doesn't know how to stfu

That's her problem and it'll continue to be her problem. bible spice will never hold another elected office and I'd about take bets on that, except of course I don't make bets

[Riley18]

2. Doesn't Greta's husband have something going on with Sarah?

I mean isn't he helping with her campaign? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

[sabrina 1]

16. No, I think you're right. I was just about to point that out

Greta may have a little conflict of interest and maybe should leave reporting on Palin to some one who doesn't, but we're talking about Fox, so I guess that would be a challenge.

John Coale, Greta Van Susteren's Husband, Advising Sarah Palin

Coale, in an interview with the Fix, described himself simply as a "friend" of the Alaska governor but acknowledged that he suggested she start a leadership PAC and helped her navigate through some of the questions surrounding her family that lingered after the campaign

[mitchum]

43. Word is that the two couples are heavily involved in swinging

[mitchum]

44. delete: double post

[Swede]

3. Comics observe and do topical stories in their routines.

Dave has a team of writers,he doesn't do this all by his lonesome.

[walkaway]

4. And Palin has an obsession with Greta's job.

Watch out GS she's starting her 2012 campaign at 10:00pm on FAUX.

[stanwyck]

5. Palin has an obsession with Palin

And you don't call a press conference and parade around in waders if you don't want the late night comedy club to make fun of you.

[2Design]

27. I thought she still had her job until the end of july - waders on a work day ???? n/t

[stanwyck]

35. Maybe we should ALL wear waders to work

Waders would actually be quite useful where I work, considering what I'm thigh high deep in everyday.

[Mike Daniels]

46. Must be nice to turn in your 2 or 3 weeks notice and go straight to vacation

The woman's work ethic should be enough to disqualify her from future candidacy but her public will continue to buy her anti-elite tripe as long as she wants to sell it.

I would recommend that her public consider that the "founding fathers" and early leaders of the US were the elites of their time before they put too much faith in "just plain folks" Palin as being qualified for higher office.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

6. Greta still doesn't have a new contract with Faux -

she should, maybe, take a clue from Letterman?

Naw, she's not that bright......................

[tularetom]

11. She's one of the bench warmers at faux

But she wants to be on the field with the big guys like Beck and Oreilly so she glommed onto this Palin thing as her ticket to big name status within the organization.

Unfortunately, it's obvious she lacks what it takes, whatever the fuck that is, to draw attention to herself and keep it there.

Palin will use her as long as it benefits Palin. Then drop her like a bad habit.

Greta unfortunately is not up to playing in the same league with Palin.

Even if she's (allegedly) screwing Tadd.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

18. I don't watch the show -

or anything on that network.

And I do not judge people by their looks.

But, when I see Greta, I keep thinking that she was hit squarely in the face with a shovel.

And that's just distracting.

Plus, she whines.................

[a kennedy]

38. I hear ya Tangerine......

Was so proud of her during the OJ trial....she graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and I really was inspired but then she shows up with THAT face on FAUX!! and yikes, I can't watch her at all now. She just looks so plastic now. :scared: :thumbsdown: just like all the women on Faux.

[jobycom]

7. Letterman just understands when society has an obsession. That's why he's rich.

And he is a jerk, but we've known that for decades.

[UTUSN]

8. Greta has an obsession with OLDER althletic dudes, like FAVRE, and "first dude" and others!1 n/t

[ColbertWatcher]

13. Van Susterin has an obsession with a hack sci-fi "writer". n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

21. who?

[ColbertWatcher]

30. Neither matters, really. n.t

[girl gone mad]

33. ElRon?

[Gabi Hayes]

47. he's been dead awhile....my first thought was Orson Scott Card

RW hack of the first order

tried reading one of his potboiler/polemics, and couldn't get through the first few pages

REALLY trite from 'literary' standpoint, and totally trog politically

[mitchum]

45. She is a crazyass Scientologist

I know that "crazyass" and "Scientologist" is redundant...

[Maru Kitteh]

9. Didn't Greta give the Palin's a lap dance on election eve?

Greta is the one with the Palin fixation. Duh.

[ColbertWatcher]

12. Oh! THAT Greta! I didn't realize anyone was on a first-name basis with the cultist!

[Maru Kitteh]

32. Cute matching outfits there - ya betcha!

[ColbertWatcher]

10. Who is Greta? n/t

[Warpy]

14. Palin's histrionics are the problem

but I doubt any of the silly cows on Pox News will figure that out.

Enjoy watching the poutrage. I've vomited enough over the last week to last me the rest of my life, so I'll pass.

[Gman]

15. Before Ms. Greta's nosejob and makeover and she joined Faux

she reported daily, non-stop, ad nauseum on legal interpretations of the OJ murder trial.

That's it. That's her journalism experience before she joined Faux.

[sabrina 1]

19. Right, and she did it on CNN

back then. She went over to Fox and then had the plastic surgery etc. Fox News would never have made it if it hadn't been for the OJ trial. That is what made them and most of their 'news' reporters. The rest came from Freeperville, Hannity eg.

[ColbertWatcher]

29. B-b-but, she's thetan-free! n/t

[Canuckistanian]

17. Hahahaha! LETTERMAN has an obsession with Palin???

Hello, Pot? Kettle on line 2!

[Thegonagle]

20. I thought it back when I knew she and McSame were going to lose the election,

and I see it coming closer than ever now, but Palin will become a career conservative cable commentator soon after her political career is over, and I think she's considering it to be over July 26th. The "higher calling" she received will not be in another political office; it's in mass media.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

22. When Slick Willie

was getting pilloried on a daily basis by the entertainers in the country no one said anyhting like this about that. Can we spell 'hypocrite?'

[Kittycat]

23. Passing up a palin joke, is like passing up a bush joke.

It just has to be done. Letterman knows that.

[Eric J in MN]

24. Yeah, either he's obsessed or he's doing his job...

...which is to make jokes about people the public is familiar with.

[Lorien]

25. He's an animal lover. He's not obsessed, he's pissed. nt

[rooboy]

26. Nobody can be bothered getting obsessed with Greta. n/t

[lpbk2713]

28. Letterman's business is comedy.

And right now Bailin Failin is the funniest thing going.

Dave is just taking care of business.

[burning rain]

31. Consider the source.

Van Susteren's disgraced herself as a Palin promoter. She's about as abject as John Ziegler.

It would be amusing if Palin took a job at Fox and poached Van Susteren's ten o'clock spot. She's one person who could beat out Megyn Kelly, who seems to be angling for that time slot.

[scheming daemons]

36. Why not? DU has an obsession with Palin

[cbdo2007]

39. Joke - I heard that Letterman is so obsessed with Palin that he...

is having the same people who built the Wasilla Sports Complex build him a free house next to hers in Wasilla.

[Forkboy]

40. Because she's to comedy what the Rosetta Stone was to hieroglyphic writing.

There hasn't been someone this easy to make fun of since Quayle. EVERY comedian has an obsession with her.

[MadBadger]

41. IF anybody has an obsession with Greta, its gotta be her personal stalker...Greta

[Ganja Ninja]

42. It's not Dave's fault if the woman is comedy gold.

If she had any sort of gravitas, if her moronic ramblings weren't so laughable, if she didn't expose herself for the idiot she is every time she opens her mouth, he wouldn't be able to use her the way he he does. And if the redneck dumb asses of the Republican base had sense enough to see her for what she is she would go away and this would all fade into just an embarrassing memory.
