Out-Of-Work Actor Trashes David Letterman’s Historic Ed Sullivan Theater

» 10 comments

In the ever-clever words of the New York Post, “there must be a better way to get your foot in the door at Late Show with David Letterman.” As the Post writes, a “boozed-up, down-on-his-luck Broadway actor wannabe” kicked in the glass doors of Letterman’s iconic Ed Sullivan Theater on Broadway Sunday, climbed inside and trashed the ornate lobby. “The inside looked like it was a drunken bar brawl,” a law-enforcement source told The Post.

According to the account, the suspect is 22-year-old James Whittemore, who started drinking around midnight Saturday and finished up his bender in the custody of New York’s Finest, who found him asleep on the sidewalk. He’s also caught on tape, which shows him urinating on the theater doors before kicking them in. Classy.

It’s unclear whether the incident will affect taping of tonight’s Late Show.

    Police are looking for a possible accomplice, as the young man was heard before the attack yelling “Stella! Stella!” as he paced back and forth.

    Wrong target – The Sullivan Theater didn’t make him unemployed – the FAILED POLICIES of “YOU LIE!” obozo and the lunatic-left d-0cRAT socialists did.

    In fact, the lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists DO NOT WANT the unemployed (which their FAILED POLICIES HELPED CREAT) to have REAL, capitalist-created jobs – because then they would be “dependent” on the “evil” private sector and, Allah forbid!, themselves, instead of being dependent on BIG GOVERNMENT handouts through “wealth and income re-distribution”– and these mental defectives actually believe that would be a BAD THING !

    So why is jail rape funny? (I presume that is what you are referring to)
    I am curious.
    Do you find all rape funny?

    If it was Bill Maher talking about a Republican getting it up the tailpipe, you’d be crying with laughter.
