'Good Old David Letterman'
Comedians' jokes aren't always in good taste. Late-night talk-show host David Letterman compiled a list of (fake) highlights from Sarah Palin's trip to New York City. Among the top 10 were some zingers such as "keyed Tina Fey's car" and "visited New York landmarks she normally only sees from Alaska." While Palin might have laughed off these lines, Letterman's No. 2 — "bought makeup at Bloomingdale's to update her 'slutty flight attendant' look" — was less easy to laugh off. The following day Palin was interviewed by conservative radio host John Ziegler about the comments. She wasn't pleased, saying Letterman must not have had anything else to talk about. "That's pretty pathetic, good ole David Letterman," she said. Even Palin, though, would have likely agreed to Letterman's top trip highlight: "especially enjoyed not appearing on Letterman."
