Tis the Season For the Nutjobs

To come out of the woodwork. Apparently some woman in Santa Fe, New Mexico got a restraining order against David Letterman. The woman "claims" he's been sending her signals that he wants her through his show.

Now, that's really not the disturbing part. The incredibly disturbing part is that this obviously mentally ill woman received said restraining order!

I don't know if the judge was trying to be nice to her, or felt sorry for her and figured this would shut her up. What the fuck was the judge thinking?

Of course, Letterman's lawyers went to Santa Fe to argue that the restraining order should be quashed and didn't need to go into a lot of detail as to why. The judge asked the woman if she had any proof, the woman admitted, no, but cautioned that if anyone from Letterman came near her she'd break their legs.

Her point made, the press coverage, maybe a book deal out of it, and this nutjob, gets her 15 minutes of fame. The judge that signed off on the restraining order in the first place should be subjected to judicial review and that woman should be brought up on charges for making a false statement, thus, forcing the nutjob into therapy.
