Thanks to GG for original post. SGM
I have graciously transcribed the Thursday Night Letterman for all of you to enjoy. Why? I don't know! Why was Madonna such a bitch? Please read it and enjoy it because it took way to long not to be read. The conversation is almost verbatim, of course not all [applause] is noted, only the major ones. The bleeped out cuss words have been inserted, so those who don't approve, don't read on, they are in parenthesis.
Spelling is not accurate, but who cares, I've had enough of this for now.
David: Our first guest tonight is one of the biggest stars in the world, in the past ten years she has sold over 80 million albums starred in countless films and slept with some of the biggest names in the Entertainment industry.

Madonna: Why are you so obsessed with my sex life?
David: As we all know, I have none of my own.
Madonna: Well, um.
David: Go kiss the guy in the audience, it would knock him out.
David: Look at that guy, just, like on the forehead, just on the forehead.
Madonna: I can't.
[both laughing]
Madonna: He's not tall enough.
David: I like that, she said "I can't", lot of people would cave into the pressure and say oh alright, they'd go out and kiss him and get it over with.

David: Did you know him at all.
Madonna: Hmmm, hmm.
David: Yeah.
Madonna: Yeah.
David: Did it hurt when you had that thing put in your nose? [referring to her nose ring]

Madonna: And the question, and the answer is, um...

Madonna: Listen, all you do is talk about my sex life on your show, so now you don't want to talk about my sex life when I'm on your show.
David: Now what do you mean, do you mean because we refer to you periodically, we make jokes...
Madonna: Periodically?
David: Yeah.
Madonna: You can't get through a show without talking about me or thinking about me.
