He's completely self indulgent. No one could be that infinitely rich (in money) and not be.

Very well thought out piece. I have always seen many whiners just like that. The angry libs tossing insults at troops and cops mainly because they are Alpha males who make them feel inadequate. Not because they intend to, but because they are just being themselves. They resent positive attention given to Alpha people, especially in sexual appeal or honorable risk situations.

That's why men like Letterman always end up groping the help. All the Beta males do this. Look at John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Bob Packwood, Newt Gingrich... this will grow monotonous. They're lame, and know it, and so they try to get themselves in a position of power over the men they used to resent, and the women they never had a shot at. But the men are all dorks of one sort or another, and the women they never had a shot at are still out of their range. They can lord it over whatever women are handy, but eventually find that they are in the thrall of someone as defective as they are.

So Letterman sees Sarah Palin, and he sees red. He sees every real woman he sat next to in English class that wouldn't give him a second look. He sees her with a decidely Alpha male, everything he's not. It's Groundhog Day, and even though he's on the high side of sixty he's still the pimply adolescent. But it's always been Bizarro Groundhog Day for David Letterman. He thought he could take Johnny Carson's place by being the anti-Carson --moody, snarky, pretending to be ambivalent about everything and keying the cool kids' Camaros in the intellectual high school parking lot before taking the bus. Not likely. Leno sucked, but he was facing the right direction, at least. Letterman loves to bruit it around that Carson wanted him, but if that were true it would have happened.

Dear lord, it's the class reunion, and she's still pretty, her husband could kick your ass if he had swine flu and you had a club

Don't bother getting up, Letterman. Her husband has swine flu, but she can handle the job herself.

Letterman is a cafone of the first order..

He deliberately did this to get the publicity as a new competitor took over the other late show. It's working well for him. It's a "lose/lose" situation for Palin. If she wants the National ticket, she can't spend her time defending her family.
