Another Advertiser Abandons Letterman: Southwest Airlines Confirms it will No Longer Advertise on the Late Show

You can read the full story at www.FireDavidLetterman.com.

The source here is a series of emails sent by the Southwest Airlines Vice President of Communications and Strategic Outreach.

So, unlike the Olive Garden, where a Manager of Media Relations is not authorized to speak for the company, we're pretty sure that a Vice President of Communications and Strategic Outreach is authorized to speak on behalf of Southwest Airlines.

This whole movement is pathetic. Jay Leno made a similar joke during the campaign, and that's okay?

David Letterman is a television icon. He has apologized several times for the joke and admitted it was inappropriate. The governor has accepted the apology. If the governor and her family can forgive him, shouldn't we all?

Let it go. Isn't that the Christian thing to do here? (Not sarcasm--I'm being serious.) It's time to turn the other cheek.

Letterman is a pathetic waste of air time, and his apology was nothing more than sarcasm, he even joked about it again last night. What a moron, he said Palin looked like a slutty stewardess, he looks like a slimy molester!
