'Fire Dave!': Crowd lines up to protest Letterman's 'Late Show' Palin joke: "An apology from David Letterman was good enough for Sarah Palin - but not for protesters who demanded the late night host's dismissal Tuesday at a Broadway demonstration..."
I was one of the first ones in line calling for the flogging of Letterman, but firing him is a bit too much, and would fall into the "two wrongs" category. Imus was fired and that was wrong. Firing Letterman may give some momentary satisfaction to some very put-upon people but that would not change the atmosphere of sexism pervading the media elite. Furthermore, a good many of the people calling for Letterman's firing purport to be Christians, so how about a little forgiveness?
Letterman was wrong. He finally made a sincere (I think) apology. Let's move on.

Agreed! Letterman was pathetic. As you say...two wrongs don't make a right.
