This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

Former Fortune 500 CEO's put of work by Obama's tax and fiscal policies. That "Change" and "Hope' thing not working out too well.

Unfortunately, these happy campers refused to tell us exactly where you can buy weed in Hollywood for $1.

Okay, just joking. The one dollar is really for three more minutes at the parking meter.

Rita, making comments about the councilwoman's child is uncalled for.

Rita's comment is completely inappropriate.
If Higby doesn't delete it, I'll report it to Wendy's office.

you're just now realizing that rita is classless? any middle aged woman dressed like that is either a hooker, classless or both.

Oh my old friend Rita! There you go again. You're pulling a David Letterman. As much as it's wrong for David to discuss the sex life of Sarah's 14 year old daughter its out of line to refer to Wendy's son as a druggie, as absurd as the idea/comment is.
I am going to leave it up, because you can't unring a bell and while its a totally tasteless comment its not slanderous, etc.
Feel free to report it to Wendy Greuel, there's nothing illegal about it and I myself would indeed apologize to Wendy for Rita using our "airwaves" to make such a crack.
Politics is ugly and its better for you to see this comment from Rita than to hide it.

Mayor Sam said: Maybe David Letterman should hire her as a writer.
Nah, Rita's sense of humor runs more parallel to John McCain's.
Flashback:
Appearing at a 1998 Republican Senate fundraiser, McCain reached into the gutter to show his conservative family values with this:
"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."
And you endorsed this man for Preznit, Mayor Sam? How cruel and horrible was that joke?
But I guess it's ok to pick on kids when it's YOUR guy doing kid bashing, right?

Valley Doll,
I didn't know McCain said that but I would have criticized it as I did Rush Limbaugh for similar remarks about Chelsea.
Letterman is n the same boat as Don Imus, an old and past his prime entertainer who has to do something to get attention. Considering that this was time with Conan's first week on the Tonight Show and that prior to this brouhaha Conan's ratings were ahead (Dave only went ahead in the ratings the day after the joke because of the media attention) of Dave. So its obvious why Dave did it.
I think Letterman made some attempt to apologize but only after he was up against the wall. He needs to do like Imus or Dog the Bounty Hunter and go away for a while, have a time out.
I know its really hard for you guys because he's bashing Sarah Palin, so I don't know, pretend it was Oprah.

Rita is a sad old hag. Sorry Michael but she is a bad representative of what you tried to achieve in LA. She's just a crazy old Wacko hater.

Is that Kevin James standing next to the lady in the picture (Rita) who made that comment?

I want to thank EVERYONE concerned about the child and about the child's alleged chemical dependancy. I believe he's seeking help-- he's in re-hab. As a matter of fact, the facility is kind of a hybrid. It's a combination re-hab and pre-school. It's called: PRE-HAB. Get it? GET IT?? WOO-HOOO!!!

Rita,
I've been listening to you on Mc in the Morning for years, and always wondered what you look like.
Amazingly, close to what I thought, except you hair isn't red -- or at least not today.
Your critics have no sense of humor.
And yes, John McCain did make that awful joke and others that were just as bad and he never apologized.
Letterman apologized too much.

I hate Oprah. COMPARISON FAIL.
And conversely, the reason you all want Dave's head on a platter was because he made a joke that invoked your precious Sarah Palin ... and after all the Sarah-bashing and pointing out by Dave of what an airhead she really is, now it's the Sarah PAC's turn to hit back. So transparent and lame.
I know, pretend Dave made the joke about one of Tony Villar's kids.
Now it's funny, isn't it?

OMG! THAT *IS* race-baiter Kevin James standing next to Rita!

That 'splains a lot.
Birds of a feather and all...
