David Letterman: Ann Coulter Is A Bitch Who Should Be Murdered By OJ Simpson

Bah-ZINNNGGG!

As a lot of people noted yesterday, while some conservatives pile on Coulter's over-the-top statements, the liberals indulge in murder-fantasies with impunity.

And so it goes.

Dave? Look, you were big in the eighties. But you're old. And irrelevant. And you can turn nastier and unhinged-leftier all you like, you're not going to become Jon Stewart. Or even Steven Colbert. They're young, you're old. People (for some reason) find them funny; people (for good reason) don't find you funny.

Remember being funny? Yeah, I remember about ten years ago you were doing this Jerky-Boyz ripoff gag with a walkie-talkie. That was very funny.

Since then? Not so much.

Give it up. Accept your lack of relevance gracefully. Like King Lear and Madonna as well, you should have gotten wise before you got old.
