'''David Letterman''' is the [[liberal]] talk-show host who appears on his own show on [[CBS]], ''Late Show with David Letterman'', among other projects. Senator [[John McCain]] (R-AZ) appeared on the show during the [[United States presidential election, 2008|2008 presidential campaign]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Attacks on Sarah Palin==&lt;br /&gt;
True to his liberal nature, Letterman has repeatedly mocked Alaska's conservative Republican former governor [[Sarah Palin]], since she came into the public eye as a 2008 vice-presidential candidate. In June 2009, while Palin was attending a benefit for those with [[autism]] in Westchester, [[New York]], Letterman escalated these attacks in a particularly degrading fashion, describing Palin as looking like a &amp;quot;slutty flight attendant&amp;quot; and falsely claiming that her 14-year-old daughter, Willow, was [[pregnancy|&amp;quot;knocked up&amp;quot;]] by New York Yankee [[Alex Rodriguez]] on the field at a Yankees game.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1832149/letterman_palin_has_slutty_flight_attendant.html?cPager=2&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Although Letterman has since claimed that he meant to insult and demean Willow Palin's 18-year-old sister Bristol observers have pointed out that Bristol wasn't at the baseball game in question, giving lie to this claim. Letterman has since given some sort of apology for the incident with Palin's daughter that Palin has accepted. CBS has since kept its production contract with Letterman, giving him a continued venue for his liberal rants against Republicans and conservatives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The resulting outrage led several large companies to drop advertising on his show. This has not stopped his attacks on Sarah Palin. His September 29th, 2009 show had a top 10 list mocking Sarah's $63,000 dinner for charity. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extortion==&lt;br /&gt;
Letterman has acknowledged that he had sexual relations with several staff members. One individual, Robert &amp;quot;Joe&amp;quot; Halderman of Norwalk, CT., threatened to go public with the allegations of the relationship with his girlfriend Stephanie Birkitt, unless Letterman paid him $2 million. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118009463.html?categoryid=14&amp;amp;cs=1 Letterman reveals extortion attempt, Variety, October 1st, 2009]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tmz.com/2009/10/02/david-letterman-stephanie-birkitt-robert-joe-halderman-extortion/ Woman in Letterman Case Lived with Suspect, TMZ, October 2, 2009]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a 2005 [[extortion]] attempt, police revealed a plot by house painter Kelly Frank to kidnap Letterman's baby son Harry, for a $5 million ransom.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:sesamestreet.jpg|200px|right|]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Sesame Street''' is a television show for children on the [[PBS]] network.  It has been around since 1969 and has spawned a series of movies, books, magazines, and toys.  Sesame Street features [[muppet]]s interacting with adults and children in an educational setting that emphasizes learning numbers and letters.  The show has won a number of [[Emmy Award]]s and is shown in over 25 languages around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Spinoffs==&lt;br /&gt;
Sesame Street successfully launched the career of [[Jim Henson]]'s muppets and has produced countless imitations and variations.  A number of Sesame Street movies have been made, including ''Follow That Bird'' and ''The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland''. Sesame Street characters have made appearances on a number of game and talk shows.  Many stuffed animals of the Sesame Street characters are sold in amazing quantities and the [[Tickle Me Elmo]] is considered to be one of the best selling toys of all time. A number of musical albums have been released by Sesame Street characters, most notably ''Bert's Blockbusters'' which scored an unexpected success in 1974 with the single ''Doin' the Pigeon''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/sesame_street/berts_blockbusters/ Bert's Blockbusters - #4 Album of 1974]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Muppet Characters==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Big Bird]] -- An 8-foot tall yellow bird who walks on 2 legs, a good natured but simple creature.  The character of Big Bird was involved in a real-life media scandal about draft-dodging in the Vietnam War following his appearance in the NBC sitcom &amp;quot;Bill'n'the Bird&amp;quot; in 1968. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.culturenest.co.uk/tvradio.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Cookie Monster]] -- a lover of all cookies&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Snuffleupagus]] -- a creature who looks a bit like an elephant; at first only big bird saw him, but that has changed&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Oscar the Grouch]] -- lives in a garbage can, has a generally cantankerous nature&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Elmo]] - a muppet with a higher IQ than George W. Bush&lt;br /&gt;
* [[The Count]] -- a vampire who loves to count&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Bert &amp;amp; Ernie]] -- human muppets; Ernie's child-like goofs are balanced by Bert's more serious nature&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Telly Monster]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kermit the Frog]] -- a green frog hand muppet who went on to star in the muppet movies&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Grover]] -- typical friendly monster, also the voice of Yoda&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Miss Piggy]] -- prone to explosive outburts, she also has a crush on Kermit&lt;br /&gt;
