Letterman's retirement: UPDATE

So the other night I speculated that because David Letterman said on his show that he only had "2 or 3 years" left to go at CBS, that he was going to retire, or at least he was letting slip something he was thinking about doing. Now the story has caused such a fuss that Letterman's spokesman has actually had to issue a public denial that Letterman has any plans to retire.

(Oh, and it would have been nice if the New York Post had given us some credit, since we were the ones who broke the news.)

How did this site "Break the news"? Your speculation was wrong, and The denial announcement was probably made due to the millions of people who heard him say it on tv.

Why should the New York Post credit this site?

First of all, our speculation wasn't necessarily "wrong." You have to read the links in the above article. We were the first one to have the speculation, as the Yahoo/E article explains.

Borke the news? I broke the news on my blog same time and I am sure some one else did right after he said it. I like this site. But give me a break.
