More late night politicking: Hillary on Letterman tonight

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 2, 2008 07:02 PM

Update: Yawn

USA TODAY TV editor Bruce Schwartz tells us that Clinton’s cameo on Letterman is quite brief — a pre-recorded joke about Dave having been off the air for 8 weeks because of the writers’ strike, ending with Clinton saying that “tonight, he’s back. Oh, well, all good things come to an end.”

***
Huck’s doing Leno. Now, Hill’s doing Letterman. Access Hollywood reports:

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be a surprise guest when David Letterman returns to the air tonight.

Worldwide Pants, which produces “The Late Show With David Letterman,” reached a deal over the holiday period with the WGA, which today sees his writers returning to work.

Earlier it was announced that Robin Williams was Letterman’s first guest, but now, Access Hollywood has exclusively learned that Clinton will also make an appearance.

Will she read her Top 10 blunders on Pakistan?

Or don her Superwoman costume?

Or maybe she’ll dance like Drew Barrymore?

Wouldn’t it be novel if Letterman were as hard on Hillary as he was on Paris Hilton?

Here’s Hillary and Dave cackling about her pantsuits during her visit to the show last summer…

    I love Letterman (despite his political views), but seeing what Leno can do without writers is tempting.

    I hope Dave asks Hill-Dawg about the Southpark episode that lampooned her. It was the one where terrorists snuck a nuclear device in (redacted, to vulgar to say).

    It was hilarious though. It even mocked her fake Southern accent.

    Respectfully,

    Huckabee said he thought he wouldn’t be crossing a picket line by going on Leno and thought that all the late night shows reached an agreement with the WGA. Oops.

    Huckabee makes one mistake after another because he just doesn’t know what’s going on. Gee, really want this guy in the White House.

    Yet another reason why we don’t have TV. TV adds 20-30 pounds onto the person which would just about fill the entire screen with wall-to-wall Hill.

    I was going to make a sarcastic joke about a Clinton/Letterman ticket but the fear of God stops me.

    But who would a Dem. nominee pick as a running-mate anyway??

    Apparently Huckabee doesn’t read what is in front of him and then tries to say
    that, golly gee, neither does Pres Bush. Huckabee just keeps messing up.

    #3 blacktygrrr:
    Rhymes with angina? You recall the seinfeld episode with woman whose name was Dolores and rhymes with a female body part?

    I liked Tom Cruise in the closet in the religion episode. Isaac Hayes is in same church and so he quit and so they promptly played with Chef character. Hypocrites everywhere- ok to make fun of you but leave mine alone. The biggest hypocrisy is kissing Islam’s dupa and bashing Catholicism or Christians..Mary covered in dung, Christ in urine, etc. and some paid with tax dollars. At least some do admit they fear having their heads cut off by mentioning Mohammad.
    I am still waiting for the media to call Hillary on her total ignorance of the current Pakistani election situation, but I suppose the smartest woman in the world has too many other people to show her caring side.

    Letterman and Leno aren’t very good with writers not on strike. With half-witted politicians and no one feeding them lines they will be even worse. Then again, their true liberal, ass-kissing stripes will be apparent. What is truly pathetic is that they all think they are really humorous– especially Letterman. He wasn’t funny 20 years ago and he hasn’t gotten any better.

    She’s scary enough without the cackle.

    It was on the video story on the linked page. They also ran a promo for Letterman on CSI:NY mentioning Robin Williams and a Top 10 List about writers’ demands. Absolutely no mention of Hillary! being on in any way, shape or form.

    You can bet Letterman is a big time Hill shill and he has contributed to her attempt to Alinskyize America in every way possible.

    He’s not going to discount his investment, the Hill dill pickle will leave the studio completely kosher.

    Laree, I extracted a qoologic package from my machine after getting a spyware warning while visiting chickaboomer.

    I can’t say the qoologic (a Trojan) came from that site but I did get two spyware warnings.

    Its possible someone other than the blog owner piggybacked or linked malicious software onto the site.

    Let’s not be hard on Jay. After all, he promoted Big Arnie alot and his endorsement of Big Arnie had alot to do with the removal of left wing governor Gray Davis. Recall that Davis was turning the Golden State into the socialist state. As for Dave, I always thought he was funny but his suckup interview with Jane Fonda was incredible. Instead of asking Fonda about why she called returning POWs liars and why she call them liars even while the POWs were rotting in North VietNam, Letterman spent the whole time talking about how brave and fearless Jane was and is. He gazed adoringly at Fonda and said “We had no business being in VietNam”. I lost alot of respect for him right there. When Hillary is on the program, Dave is all suckup. No questions about the pardons, no questions about the lying about Monica, only adoring questions for the Queen. In contrast, just watch the relish with which Dave and his Harvard staff skewered Dan Quayle night after night and the suckup he does for Al Gore.
