South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford could have made a snide comment about David Letterman, but he's to be congratulated for taking the high road:

Most of the targets of Letterman’s jokes approached by the AP chose not to weigh in on the current woes of the talk-show host. But South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford offered Letterman his best wishes.
“Both my thoughts and my prayers are with him,” Sanford said Tuesday after a speaking engagement at a Rotary Club meeting in Easley, S.C.
In June, Sanford seemed fair game for comedy after he disappeared from the state (and his wife) for a five-day rendezvous with an Argentine woman he called his soul mate.
Sanford “didn’t really enjoy this year’s Fourth of July. He left his favorite firecracker in Argentina,” Letterman joked soon after.
“There’s a lot more introspection and soul-searching on the way down than there is on the way up,” said Sanford, who is under investigation by South Carolina’s Ethics Commission, in addressing his dilemma as well as Letterman’s. “He can be a better person for it.”

Its not really screwing the help...so long as the relationships never affected the professional setting, at they obviously didn't if this is the first we're hearing about it, then it doesn't change my opinion of him as a TV personality, which is that he is only funny because by the time he comes on its way too late at night and that some of his guests are worth watching. It may change my opinion of him as a person, but since when has that ever had anything to do with someone's ratings or success in show business?

What exactly are you talking about phony? Which CONS were villified? And keep in mind that, while in your mind Letterman is a libchit, to the rest of us, he is a late night talk show host.

I think we could agree that Limbaugh is a socially and politically conservative talk show host. He interviews politicians and activists.

Letterman hosts a late night talk show that pokes fun of pop culture and topical issues. He does comedy sketches, interviews all sorts of interesting people, and has a musical guest.

.....this is too easy. There is no comparison.

Its not my fault that Conservatives aren't funny. I do, however, remember both McCain (a libchit in your opinion) and I'm pretty sure Romney (also a libchit in your delusional mind) has appeared also.
