Will Congress pass Obamacare by the end of the year?

Late-night talk host David Letterman has made hundreds of millions making fun of politicians who are caught up in major scandals, especially sexual blunders.

"Both my thoughts and my prayers are with him," said South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford Tuesday after a speaking engagement at a Rotary Club meeting in Easley, S.C. One of many jokes Letterman told was the governor "didn't really enjoy this year's Fourth of July. He left his favorite firecracker in Argentina."

Number 7: Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's 14 year-old-daughter was viciously attacked by Letterman. I will not even repeat what he said. Continued...
