Recently late night TV talking head and what some people think as being funny, David Letterman was put on a death list by Islamic Jihadist ( please note it was not the TEA Party who put him on the death list).
The following was his Top Ten List in response.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thank you very much for being here tonight. We have great audiences
night in and night out, but tonight especially, it means a lot to me,"
Letterman said.
"Tonight, you people are more, to me, honestly, more than an audience … you're more like a human shield."
He also joked about being late to hit the stage."Tonight, you people are more, to me, honestly, more than an audience … you're more like a human shield."
"Backstage, I was talking to the guy from CBS," Letterman said during a taping of Monday's show. "We were going through the CBS life insurance policy to see if I was covered for Jihad."
Indeed, Letterman and his team mined the threat for monologue jokes and an entire Top Ten list called. "Top Ten Thoughts That Went Through My Mind After Hearing about the Threat"
Among them: No. 8, "Why is the staff in such a good mood?", No. 4, "How can someone be so angry at a time when Kim Kardashian is so happy?" and No. 3, "Some people get Emmy nominations; some people get death threats."
"And so now, State Department authorities are looking into this. They're not taking this lightly. They're looking into it. They're questioning, they're interrogating, there's an electronic trail - but everybody knows it's Leno."
Letterman and his team record two shows on Monday; One for Monday night and the other for Thursday.
Word of the threats against Letterman come as the nation prepares to mark the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks.
Letterman was credited with being one of the calming forces on TV when he returned to the airwaves six days after the attacks.
