Top Ten Possible Letterman Reactions to Fallout Over Willow Palin Rape ‘Joke’
by John Nolte
10. Listen, I didn’t know Willow Palin was 14. She was born in 1995. I thought she was still 13.
9. Why’s everyone so mad? I wasn’t making fun of Barack…?
8. I understand some offense was taken over my remarks last night. If that’s the case, I’d like to offer an apology to A-Rod. Tonight on the show, we have…
7. Careful buddy. You’re criticizing the guy who almost got the “Tonight Show.”
6. I’m a comedian and therefore not responsible for anything I say … ask Jon Stewart.
5. See, you all spoiled it. The plan tonight was to come out and tell a similar joke about Barack Obama’s daughters. But you can forget it now…
4. Everyone just needs to relax. Page, six, paragraph seven of the “Democrat Handbook” clearly states Republican children are fair game. Or is that the “Mainstream Media Handbook” … I get them confused.
3. It’s just been brought to my attention that during the campaign Barack Obama declared Sarah Palin’s children off limits. So, I would just like to say that this will never happen again and I hope the President will accept my apology.
2. Would you believe I was hoping to be Keith Olbermann’s “Worst Person in the World”?
1. If what I said was so wrong, why haven’t feminists complained?
…Anyone else care to predict?

My intentions were good.
There won't be any fallout. He won't apologize and no one will call him on the carpet for it. The excuse machine is already in full gear. "It was just comedy" "He didn't mean the 14 year old daughter (as if that makes a difference)" blah blah blah
People like Letterman and Jon Stewart are foaming at the mouth haters.
What we need is a show with a conservative comedian like Crowder to throw the same grenades.
The ratings will go up, temporarily. Mission accomplished.
John, the media won't get your 'top 10' spoof.
The media is dying. Its subscriptions are tanking, its readership is deserting it, viewers aren't tuning in – the liberal media is dying. And the reason it is dying is the same reason it won't get your 'Top 10' spoof. It's because the liberal media is blind and deaf to anything except the ideological voices in its heads. You could write your 'Top 10' spoof on a polo mallet and hit them in the forehead with it but they wouldn't feel a thing, hear a thing, see a thing. They're insensitive to anything but the ideology in their minds.
I wish we didn't have to call them liberal. There's nothing liberal about a secular Islam, which is what it is.
Rape and misogyny ARE funny when you talk about people that aren't radical leftists.
and the Palins can seek solace in Nietzsche's aphorism- 'those that would try to kill me only make me stronger'… in all of our years watching this we have never seen anyone strike terror so deep into the little black holes that pass for hearts in the Left… hmmmm- let's see. Smart. Capable. Dynamic. Popular. Gorgeous. Sexy as all get out. Overachiever. Married to an overachiever. Chose to bring a Down Syndrome child to term, devout Christian… ooops!
So THAT's it…
Since he's so obsessed with sex, I'd like Letterman to get into $cientology and go to Thailand to investigate and recreate the Carradine demise (Carradine was married to a $cientologist).
Letterman's top Ten to show I'm a good sport and can take it as well as I dish it out
10. I will now refer to my son Harry as "My little bastard Child"
9. I will no longer take my wife Michelle (MY WIFE NOT OBAMA'S THAT WOULD TAKE A JOKE TOO FAR) to Yankee's games because A-Rod might knock her up.
8. I especially like My wife Michelle's (MY WIFE NOT OBAMA'S THAT WOULD TAKE A JOKE TOO FAR) Frumpy just got out of bed and forgot my make up look
7. George Bush is Dumb
6. Dick Cheney is mean
5. Ronald Reagan ruined the US
4. Condi Rice is Aunt Jemima
3. Don Rumsfeld started another Crusade
2. Dan Quayle mis-spelled Potato
1. Bill Clinton has an overactive libido (see, I'm bi-partisan)
"(Carradine was married to a $cientologist)."
That explains some things… Poor Grasshopper just didn't grab the pebble quick enough this time…
10. Hey, did you really expect class from a guy who left his only son a bastard for the first four years of his life?
9. If you think these sex jokes about 14 year old Willow Palin are bad, just imagine all the creepy stuff in my head that I'm not saying out loud.
8. Don't blame me, Contessa Brewer says calling women sluts is back in style!
7. Now that Leno's gone I think I can get away with anything.
6. Oh come on, last night when I joked about Willow Palin and Elliot Spitzer I didn't mean to imply that Willow is a whore, it only sounded that way.
5. Willow, Piper, what's the difference? Turn them upside down….
4. Hey Willow, don't be upset, don't you know that when a creepy old man teases you it means he likes you – he really really likes you.
3. How can these jokes be perverse if someone as normal as Paul Shaffer is laughing?
2. I'm old, I'm miserable and deep down I hate myself, what do you want from me?
1. Hey, if Sarah Palin didn't want her children ridiculed in public she should have had them a aborted.
10. Oh Great! First Michael Richards, now me!
9. I didn't know she had two daughters.
8. Maybe I should apologize…. …. ….
7. I didn't think anyone was watching.
6. You mean A-Rod lied?
5. Our CBS writers aren't as good as those guys at MSNBC.
4. There, now that my apology has been accepted…
3. I'm sorry, I don't understand Sarah's complaint.
2. Todd Palin said he'd kick my ass, as soon as Barney Frank is done with it.
1. I hate myself more than any of you can ever hate me…
It's awful to see someone you once admired virtually disintegrating before your eyes. I thought that Letterman, whatever his other shortcomings, had a tiny bit more class (and comedic insight) than to join in the ongoing prison yard beat-down that the media have been conducting on Sarah Palin and her family since last year. Obviously not. What is it about Sarah Palin that inspires media lefties to wallow in the very sewers of venomous character assasination and just plain old hatred? It can't be explained simply by her politics or her position in the GOP. It's something so deep, feral and primitive that we don't really have a good word for it. All in all a creepy and disturbing situation.
Letterman's humor is disappearing in direct proportion to his hair loss. His nastiness is increasing in direct proportion to his wrinkles and wattles. Even so, I figured he was at least a year away from making rape jokes about children. I guess I counted the wrinkles and wattles wrong.
I think Letterman likes to provoke his opponents. If I remember right he had a feud with the NBC execs and would ridicule GE (I'm thinking of when he was showing doorbells and remarking that they were GE inventions).
When he did that stupid Top 10 list on Obama gaffes substituting Obama's name in Bush jokes, I think he was trying to piss us off. He doesn't care IMO.
Letterman is a hack and has been for quite a while.
GK – I never call them liberals. Too benign. Even looked on favorably by many.
To me they are leftists. Then the minds-eye easily can take it from there and conjure up what I'm truly thinking they are — commies, communists, socialists, pinkos, reds, Marxists, Leninists, Bolsheviks, Trotskyites, Stalinists, Maoists, fellow travelers, etc., etc.
I wonder how many people actually watch Letterman, anyway. I think "Dave" is going a similar route to NBC Universal. Sagging ratings mean he will try to appeal to the mean spirited left with hateful jokes. On the one hand, it would be nice to just ignore all this, but just maybe, the publicity will actually help get more people to see how hypocritical these guys are. What actually made by day was John Ziegler chewing up that useless excuse for a tv "journalist" Contessa Brewer.
…And the Number #1 Answer is:
Screw you ALL!
I just converted to Islam so you can't 'touch' me Buwahaaaaaa…
Even if he "apologizes", it won't be sincere. Since CBS won't fire him since he just got a new contract, hopefully they'll suspend him for awhile.
Since some on the Left( and the rest of the country and world) now know that Obama is a fraud, they've set their sights on destroying Gov. Palin and her family.
How about…
Help, my jokes have fallen flat and can't get up!
And I don't care one whit about what Letterman does or doesn't say. i don't watch him, or Conan, or Leno. I think it is a waste of time & i can think of a dozen better ways to waste time that watching late night drivel on T.V.
Women don't watch his show. That's why we don't complain. I would rather watch grass grow.
How about….HEY WHAT DO YOU WANT. LOOK AT ME .YOU KNOW I'M A J.O.!
10. If it wasn't for Sarah Palin, I wouldn't have any material and I be back doing the silly animal tricks thing…
9. My mom thought it was funny–after I explained it to her.
8. Look–it's a UFO!
7. My meds sometimes makes me say inappropriate things. I can't help it. Look! It's a low flying object!
6. Sean Penn thought it was funny when we had drinks after last night's show so I went with it.
5. You just don't understand high-brow humor you middle American rednecks…sheesh.
4. You don't understand…14 year old girls love me–they really love me!
3. I take it back–A-Rod said he's going to sue if I don't.
2. I'd apologize but Sarah Palin's family is fair game–she's a woman and conservative. Didn't you get the memo from The Hef?
and the number one excuse is…
1. I didn't write this…I just read if the teleprompter…
indeed. Which is why Karl Marx referred to liberals as 'useful idiots'. Lacking the conviction to be true communists, or the courage to be pure capitalists, liberals are the secular world's version of limbo, or Purgatory… neither hot, nor cold, hungy or full, they desperately WANT to believe in something-
as long as it's not God…
1. I resign and will undergo sensitivity training.
his suicide is a particularly ugly and tawdry affair- we suspect the family, needing the cash a wrongful death would provide, is pushing the investigation into his 'murder'.
According to very reliable sources, it was an extremely deviant behaviour and not a homicide…
You are confused. You see, whether or not Gov Palin is a great candidate for President just isn't the issue. The issue is why you use a red-herring tactic to attack Gov Palin and her supporters, instead of addressing the crassness and vulgarity of a liberal media figure (notice, I didn't use the word entertainer). Should we interpret your comment as defending David Letterman's attack on a 14-year old? Or is this just you, from the abyss of your parents' basement, striking out with your nerd forum debating skills?
Note to self: Good job on the self restraint…let's see if Mr Crawford has the courage to respond on topic.
I thought Letterman was cancelled.
He's an ugly, gap-toothed freakin' old perv. Can't stand him. Never could.
He's an ugly, gap-toothed freakin' old perv. Can't stand him. Never could.
I would pay serious money to see Mr Palin pop that hasbeen in the mouth for the comment about his daughter. I'm sure Gov Palin would love to take him hunting.
Until we start throwing rocks through windows and camping outside of the estates or Upper West Side townhouses of the CBS & NBC execs, they will continue to get away with stunts like this.
Hey Moron, BraverThanU. Knocking up a 14 YO is statutory rape. Geez you Lefty's aren't too swift with this whole "sex" thing.
1. "I really like Conan, and it would break my heart to beat him in the ratings."
i am confident that mr. letterman will entertain satan with his top ten for a longggggggggg time.
My bet is IF he does, he'll use that comedian BS – I'm sick of it and ain't buying it.
I don't even recognize this country any more. Both sides are full of hate. But we have to remember that 99 percent of the people in this country don't participate in it. They are just in the world that the one percent foisted on them. The one percent that is doing all the hate mongering.
"I thought all you fundies loved full-term pregnancies!"
"I had no idea steroid use was such a controversial topic."
"I actually just got off the phone with one very irate caller about that joke. Larry Flynt hates it when I spoil the plots of his new movies."
"It's not like we all haven't downloaded a couple movies once in a while where… what? Arrested? Aw, shucks."
"Okay, so maybe that joke was a little ahead of its time."
"You all may be very mad at me, but consider how much restraint went into it: You don't wanna see the Trig joke that I had to veto first."
Sex with an underage girl is statutory rape. I'm guessing you feign ignorance of that fact for personal reasons.
maybe if someone gave those mouthy supposed comics a shot in the mouth when
they get to far out of hand, they would probably learn some manners.
To bad their parents were such a bunch of rejects and incapable of teaching
their children manners.
"What is it about Sarah Palin that inspires media lefties to wallow in the very sewers of venomous character assasination and just plain old hatred?

This is an excellent question. One of my far left acquaintances is so obsessed with Sarah Palin, he can't go three minutes without mentioning her. When Bristol had her child, he called AK to congratulate SP on becoming a grandmother. At Halloween, he came to the party dressed as Sarah Palin. Thus, Letterman falls into that category. The woman appears and he can't keep his words off her even tho' she no longer is running for national office. Frankly I think Letterman, like my wacko acquaintance, is obsessed with this beautiful, sexy woman (who is a grandmother) who made it to the top of the political heap without any help from a husband (Hillary) or father (Nazi Pelosi) but whose political ideology is anathema to the leftist cant they've been steeped in all these years. They're conflicted.
This is a subject that should be probed by someone with an understanding of psychology/psychiatry. Dr. Krauthammer, if you haunt BH, please wade in. I'd love to know if I'm right.
Better yet, hit them in the wallet. Post on BH and other sites who advertises on Letterman and boycott the company. If you own stock, write the president and raise hell. Make noise. We haven't done that. We remind me of George Bush squared, father and son, aristocrats who had the goods but were too gentlemanly to get down in the mud and grapple with the Democrats so all the lies the Dems spread spread like fungus which fits with what comes out of Dems' mouths.
There's a reason Lenin called them "useful idiots".
"But then some people so much want to be upset and take offense, that they'll work very hard at it, just as this mountain out of a molehill exercise proves."
Yeah, kinda like gettin' your tighty whities in a bunch when people remark on Obama's middle name, or remark about Reverend Wright or Bill Ayers or ….
One could say he was talking about Bristol, but the next night he made a similar joke. By that time he had to know it was Willow, who is 14.
disgusting.
Jonathan,
The reason you don't recognize the country is because those who weren't on the Left agreed to keep silent all those years, allowing the Lefties to pound away at their presidents (Reagan, Bush I, Bush II).
Like when there was no alternative media, no Big Hollywood to give voice to those who didn't approve of comedians attacking the children of a candidate they disagree with.
Like when Janeanne Gorillafaro or whateverthehellhernameis could say whatever she wanted and have a mic but conservatives and moderates didn't dare speak out.
Like when…
Oh, never mind. You're smart. You get my drift.
And then Braver…a person so brave they must tell us they are brave…cries themselves to sleep knowing that the culmination of all their brave hopes and dreams has turned out to be a stinker that will no doubt put Republicans in power for a long time to come.
It's just plain cattiness. There's something about attractive conservative women that turns liberal men into catty, hissy old broads spewing malicious gossip at a hair salon about the pretty gal up the street.
I posted on your previous article that I was ashamed at us on the right getting so sensitive about a joke. But your article today is great because it fights humor with humor. Having said that, we may be giving Letterman too much publicity as he slides into has-been land.
Hey, there's one for the Top Ten List:
#1) Who says it was RAPE? Wink wink, nudge nudge!
"I'm taking my show on the road…………to the L.A. Rape Crisis Center!"
Hahahaha!!
Conan all the way (followed by Jimmy Kimmel, so help me)!
Fallout? What Fallout?
LOL @ #3!
I will not buy anything from companies that advertise on the David Letterman show.
I for one always find out who to contact and let them know. I agree with you on the fact that to many of us have just sit back and tried to play nice but it's time to stop whine-ing and take a few minutes out to act. I will be looking up some of these so-called feminists sites and ask them where they are? I am a woman and think Condessa from MSNBC is an idiot. I along with many men find it offensive to make fun of the rape of a child. If Condessa wants to be called a slut and she's okay with it that's her problem, but I don't consider myself or other women sluts. Men, contact the baseball player he joked about.
#1 I fantasize about children being raped.
On this same show Letterman:
1. Made a joke about Rush Limbaugh's Oxi addiction – a five year old story.
2. Had a video joke of Laura Bush showing off a statute of a naked Dick Chaney.
3. Told ten joke about Sarah Palin in his top ten list.
4. Told a nasty little sex joke about Sarah Palin's 14 year old daughter.
And No jokes about Obama or Dems – who happen to be the party in power t the moment.
Last night he made another joke about Palin's daughter and Elliot Spitzer. Clearly Letterman has declared war on conservatives and Sarah Palin just happens to be his number one target at the moment.
I for one always find out who to contact and let them know what a disgrace. The fact is that to many of us have just sit back and tried to play nice but it's time to stop whine-ing and take a few minutes out to act. I will be looking up some of these so-called feminists sites and ask them where they are? I am a woman and think Condessa from MSNBC is an idiot.

she is hated because she didn't do what any "smart" liberal woman would of done. she stuck to her convictions by not aborting her last child.
Sorry, but I have a feeling that there are places in the human psyche that even Dr. Krauthammer would fear to tread. More to the point, it's simple jealousy. For liberal "men", it's the fact that they are stuck with Bonnie Erbe and the rest of harpies at NOW. For liberal "women", it's the desire to BE Gov Palin.

Once again, I used to stay up late in high school to watch Litterman night after night, even though I'd be tired out the next day.
Now, I'd literally like to see him drop dead.
Comedians are supposed to make fun of those who are IN power, not out of power. What scumbags like Litterman are doing is like kicking a man when he's down. Except it isn't a man, it's a fourteen-year-old girl.
Despicable.
I like the "recreation" part of Carradine's death. Letterman should do this…really…..I'm just saying…
Ha! Pretty good!
Like the rings on a tree?? Ha!
I particularly like #1.
So I think since the putz is probably going to be on for awhile, it may be time to do something a little underhanded and sneaky (and I'm just the girl to do it.) I think I shall turn the show on with the sound down, discover who the sponsors are, then write some letters expressing my dismay at their sponsorship of the show and inform them that I can no longer, in good conscience, buy their products. If one of the sponsors is GE, so much the better! Kill two birds with one stone.
Oh man…this is 10x more funny than any of the Top Tens Letterman has ever done.
Nice top 10 list.
But I guess here is the liberal military targeting civilians again.
John, all the entries on your list are much too funny and impressive for Letterman to come up with.
Vote with your pocket book. Dont watch him, send letters to FCC ad CBS and Contact is various sponsors. List is available at THE NEWAGENDA.NET
David Letterman deserves a broken nose.
I'm left of center and at first, I asked myself why all the anger over a harmless but very bad joke, but then I thought of that political cartoon about the monkey that the cops shot dead because the monkey wrote the stimulus and I remember being very angry about that one (even though I am Caucasian,) so I do understand the emotion surrounding this incident. Letterman was out of line and he should apologize. I don't watch him and I am not a fan.
Thank you Mr. Nolte for writing about this.
Last week we had Guy Cimbalo at Playboy putting out an article which vilely savaged Conservative women. It literally made me ill. However, to some degree this was not unusual because during the election we saw actions similar to this daily from the media, and those so called comedians like Letterman when it came to Sarah Palin. And this week, we have not only Letterman assaulting Mrs. Palin, but another female, Contessa Brewer, this Nice person. The answer from the Fascists is suggesting none of these actions should be considered offensive. I am a Conservative, and I am a female, and I am beyond offended.
There is an underlying issue here, and I believe one which should be examined by others. These actions appear to be specifically aimed at Conservative women, and are in many ways intended to be a chilling impact on the rights of Conservative women regarding free speech. The reason I assert this is because during the election, of which I was involved, I found the number of women participating very large. Not only this, but I found women of various political beliefs bonding together, and finding they really did not have so much that divided them. In addition, we have seen data that the female voting block is growing, and women are becoming far more involved in politics than ever before. Since I am involved with our local/state tea party actions, I would have to say without a doubt this is true.
Keeping what I said in mind, add to it an emerging group of Sarah Palinesque women. And THIS is why I firmly believe what we are seeing is the Fascist move to not only intimidate said women, but to act in ways like Letterman, Nice, Brewer, and Cimbalo to the point we FEAR being involved in politics. Cimbalo and Letterman endorsed criminal acts on females. Both of these men attacked Conservative women in ways that most Americans have never encountered. None of the attacks have anything to do with a policy issue, or politics. Not one! So, one has to wonder what the desired impact is on the part of the Fascist in charge? I think not only does Sarah Palin, and all those lovely women Cimalo listed, but also all the women like me scare the hell out of the Democrats. We must be stopped and the torpedos be damned!
And they should be afraid because we are mad at how our families are under assault, our husbands are under assault, our military members are under assault, and our nation is under assault. Their Alinsky/Stalin designed attacks will not silence us because we come from good stock. Long before Sarah Palin there women who took a stand against tyranny. They were the wives of the Signers of our Declaration of Independence. One in particular which comes to mind was Elizabeth Annesley Lewis, wife of Francis Lewis. Her home was fired upon by British soldiers on the ground and on ships. The woman stood her ground and literally did not move while the bullets struck the floor, and cannon balls were knocking out the walls of her home. Because her husband had signed the Declaration, she along with other wives were often chased all over the countryside. The British threw her in a prison located in N.Y. After three months of extremely harsh treatment, (far worse than GITMO!), General Washington arrested the wife of the British Paymaster-General of PA, and said she would be treated the same as Mrs. Lewis if Mrs. Lewis was not released. She was eventually released, but forced to stay not in her home, but in N.Y. She had been treated so badly that she died not too long after finally being allowed to join her husband. She believed in the cause, and performed some inspiring acts of kindness to those around her. She never cowered.
Be afraid of us you Fascists pigs, because we come from good stock, and we will not be afraid of you no matter how you threaten us!
Conservative women are exactly what the NOW crowd claim to want women to be: smart, successful and equal partners within their family units. Sarah Palin is an excellent example of this. I just don't get it.
Like someone already said–jealousy and desire mixed with confusion because conservatives = "bad". It's crazy…
Letterman should be remembered as a pathetic washed up Tonight Show wanna-be who is so hard up for a laugh that he feels it is neccessary to attack children. Face it this boy is a PUTZ, who thinks he is funny.
I can't imagine someone his age dependant on a laugh track.
Hey Dave, Your Not Funny!
Here's a good one. Hey, Dave, maybe after same sex marriage is the law of the land you can spend some time lobbying for inter species unions. Then you and that mutt you married will be all nice and legal. Ha ha. Just kidding. But pretty funny, huh?
So…. what's your point?
The truism that people get the face they deserve when they reach a certain age is definitely born out in Dave Letterman's case. What a bitter looking puss!

[...] Top Ten Possible Letterman Reactions to Fallout Over Willow Palin Rape ‘Joke’ by John Nolte [...]
Letterman is a hypocritical degenerate. Although Willow was the victim of his vitriol, his presumed victim, Bristol Palin, was only 17 when her "unwed mom" story hit the news. She was a kid–kids make mistakes. However, how old was Letterman when his unwed dad status hit the news? He was an adult and then some–he DID know better and yet waited YEARS before marrying his child's mom. I guess I wonder at the man's audacity. I also wonder at his hypocrisy.
Since I never watch CBS I have no idea what the "rape" joke he made was.
Still I am not surprised. MEanness abounds among the left.

David Letterman has been finished for a long time. Like the MSM , he is great in his own mind. Revenues are falling and they don't get it. Letterman has never been funny. He is a second rate comedian at best. Lately, during this last political season he shown himself to be nasty, ignorant, biased, vicious and rude. What he said about Sarah and her daughter is exactly what one has come to expect. His sponsors need to get a call asap.

You know, everything liberals are not!
H311 hath no fury
like a conservative woman scorned!!!
Well said. She is genuine and an unapologetic conservative. We conservatives need the real thing to stand up for us in the coming years.
The left know this and are scared stiff of her. So they attack, viciously. The left don't have any real arguments, it's all personal attacks. But they are scared of her for sure. I think she's great.

It's simple – Sarah Palin had a far better chance of being VP than Geraldine Ferrarro did. The possibility of the REPUBLICANS getting a woman in the VP slot before THEY did? Impossible. Can't happen.
Thanks for quoting the now deleted comment Growltiger.

BTW, for some reason my emails to Intel keep bouncing back to me with a message accusing me of being a spammer. Anyone have a better "web site number" for Intel?
Damn good!
Say goodnight, Dave.

Dave is a douche
Man, I'm never watching him again. Johnny is shaking his head in disappointment in Heaven. I sent a email to Late Show asking what happened to the funny Dave and my dismissal of the show. I just don't understand why he is so bitter and can't let go. Are we going to hear these same crappy jokes from "comedians" for the next 3 years?
Yes, it makes a difference whether he was referring to a 14-year-old, or her knocked-up-in-h.s., currently 18-year-old sister, who has made media appearances far and wide, by herself, whingeing about the father of the kid and promoting abstinance.
That makes a difference. I think Sarah Palin is stupid. I don't think she's so addled as to not recognize that a joke about a baseball player knocking up her kid was directed at the kid of hers that was knocked up by a hockey player. Her ridiculous rant (and her husband's) were just trying to garner them attention.
She got it, Dave's withering looks as he had to actually go over what he meant, knowing full well it was obvious what he meant, were hilarious. Even the tourist-filled, midwestern audience was on his side.
Wow. After all the hatred and vitriol that's been hurled our way, I don't know why this one incident is keeping me up all night—but it is.
Think about it. The Dems have the White House. They have the House. They have the Senate. And when Al Frankenstein finishes stealing the election in Minnesota, they'll have a filibuster-proof Senate. At which point they'll be one heartbeat away from controlling the Supreme Court—and absolute power. ABSOLUTE POWER!
Yet here's Letterman. And all he can do is bitch, and whine, and moan, and slander, and smear, and hate…
It's madness. Madness.
I love history, but I'm no expert. Has this ever happened before in the history of human civilization? Has there ever been such a thing as a SORE WINNER?
You know, when Obama won, I was disappointed. But I said to myself, Well, at least there's one silver lining in this cloud. Maybe now the liberals and the Dems will STFU. Maybe we'll see an end to the hatred and vitriol and character assassination and viciousness…
But no. It continues. It just keeps going on… and on… and on…
Something's gotta give, folks. Because this CANNOT go on.
I suggest Scott Palin and Letterman have a man to "man" talk in the green room alone before the show and see who Scott will interview for the rest of the show. Mr. Letterman may not know it but there are still some unemasculated men in this world. Mr. Letterman may benefit from meeting a few, or not!
I was scanning the channels and just saw his "apology" to the Palins. He had to reiterate the "jokes" in question. The audience was laughing – a bit – and he finished it up with a comment about never advocating sex with an underage girl. All the time with a big grin on his face. I found it rather phony. I'd love to see conservatives in his audience (if there were any, and if they had the guts) just get up and walk out on him. If asked, they can simply reply that they no longer found him funny and wanted to leave. Or start organizing picketing in front of his studio. And if I were the Palins, I would release a statement that they didn't accept his apology and that they weren't going to validate his comments with their presence on his show – ever. Maybe other conservatives would be brave enough to follow suit, and then maybe CBS would be forced to take some kind of action. Yeah, I know – a lot of maybes.

Buh-rilliant. Top drawer. Many Thanks.
We're gonna get there, it won't be easy. But with everyone like John Nolte helping out, taking a pull, we will make it.
G*d Bless.
[...] Letterman doesn’t read this blog, but it’s ok, in his mind she was [...]
I have another one to add to the fire
The gap in my front teeth made me do it.
My glasses are really teleprompters and they were fooling me.
Letterman stopped being funny about 20 years ago. He is a smarmy, sarcastic and low class individual. I would rather watch 3 hours of infomercials than 15 minutes of his show. The Palins are a class act and I agree with C.Fang that his phoney invite should be ignored by the Palins and they should not accept his apology.
Does anybody actually think letterman is funny? Does anybody actually watch his show?
He's mad because he just found out that his child is a grudge baby—————————-you know someone had it in for him—–old joke but kinda works here.
Top Ten Reasons To Watch Letterman:
There might be a guest host.
10) The cable/satellite is out.
9) Your GE stock needs all the help it can get.
7) Dave might get bit by a huge snake (hey, it happened to Jimmy Kimmel).
6) Ponder the gap: Is it getting bigger and are SUVs to blame?
5) Catch up on the latest, and lamest, Bush, Cheney & Palin jokes.
4) Might see Obama face tougher questions than at his press briefings.
3) Save money on Ambien & Lunesta.
2) Statutory rape jokes kill the mood when the ol' "I've got a headache" doesn't work.
And the Number One reason to watch Letterman:
1) You're a liberal insomniac with very low entertainment standards.
Letterman occasionally attends minor league baseball games with his kid in my burg. Wonder how he'd like it if someone sat behind him and made jokes about the players having sex with Harry. Not that I'd actually DO that; I have standards, which explains why I'm not a highly-paid TV entertainer.
i posted several complaints about letterman on CBS site's feedback.
The rule of thumb for the 'entertainers' has been to attack the Palins mercilessly, and turn Governor Palin into a 'celebrity' figure, rather than an able politician and public servant. Why? Because they fear what the founders envisioned: a citizen government. Actual representatives of the people acting out our wishes in our b est interests. Liberals are monarchists at heart, and imposing the likes of the Kennedys and Obamas and Clintons on us are just 'the way things are meant to be' in their America. That's why the Bush Dynasty was attacked, but not savaged the way Governor Palin has been. (Many disagreed with President Bush's policies, whereas they disagree with Governor Palin's existence.)
Wow, you conservatives really are desperate. This "controversy" is pathetic, even for you.
Hey Letterman I heard this joke on Rush Limbaugh's Radio Show: What do God and Obama have in common?
Answer: No Birth Certificate!
Maybe Letterman can steal this joke and use it on his lame show. Boycott Letterman.

You gotta be kidding right? he called her a slut, then he said some really nasty stuff about one of her daughters. And you're pissed at her for getting angry over that?? And then you call her stupid?? How old are you??
It doesn't make a difference, Letterman attacked a young girl. Period. My how courageous he is for taking nasty shots at an 18 year old!! And how enlightened you are for defending this classless partisan crapola. Your parents must be so proud…
And if all those people thought it was hilarious, why did he feel he had to explain anything? You're a twisted little tool….
I just want to see it once. A person getting up on the stage for his monologue and start busting on Obama. I'm curious to see how deep the double standard goes.
I know it'll never happen, the MSM networks are way too fragile and thin skinned for that.
Look what Conan O´Brien said:
"Earlier today, President Obama spoke at a town hall meeting in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Half of the Wisconsin crowd had never seen an African American and the other half had never seen a skinny person"
See, Wisconsin, you might as well have voted for McCain.

so do we… so do we. And Gasbag Joe is a far better alternative, right? No, as much as we have always been at odds with our brother John McCain, his gift of Sarah and the absolute re-definition of conservatism
is something to be really proud of, even if we are out in the wilderness, so to speak…
it's Sean Penn in disguise, something about soiled pants excites him….
I only watched Conan occassionally, but quick completely a few months back when he called Bristol a Slut in one of his so called jokes.
I WONDER IF HIS WIFE IS SLUTTY
There was a time when Letterman was funny. Yes hard to believe. It was when his show was transfered to CBS. His best joke: "CBS- Where you see BS"
I wonder if Bill O'Reilly will be back on Letterman's show.
Now just think if some conservative had said this about a liberal those no good journalists would go on a feeding frenzie i mean these journalists completly stink
They have no idea! And now all this Carrie Prejan mess!
When you unite Conservative women with some from Hillbuzz, watch out world!

We'll be hearing Bush jokes from him till the cows come home
Heh GE owns NBC not CBS – but I like them!
Good point.
My complaint to CBS:
Mr. Lettermans' comments toward about ARod raping a 14 year old girl is perhaps the most disgusting thing every performed on the show (which I stopped watching 17 years ago because he just isn't funny). His lack of tact, class and general human decency is appaling considering his own disrespect for his own wife and child.
As it may be, since I do not watch the program, it is of little consequence to me what he says. However, should your decision to not "discipline" your host become your course of action, I will be happy not to watch your other programs that are of higher standards.
Truly disgusting.
you need to change your screen name to reflect reality- YOU'RE a certified simpleton
Palin should have been black and played basketball then they would treat Letterman like IMUS
I have emailed all the sponsers and CBS about Letterman making dirty jokes about a teenager. I have also filed a complaint against CBS with the FCC at their web site. I encourage all posters who think this dispecable to do the same. I didn't mean the 14 year old but the 18 year old is not okay and discusting. Get this guy off the air.
David Leacherman, aka letterman, is a mean spirited man. His mother must be so ashamed, but maybe she was a bad mother to raise such a mean spirited dirity minded son.
This is good, actually. It's nice when perverts are so opened we don't have to wonder, we just know. He'll be the first against the wall during the next revolution.
See you at the coup de estat!

Think about it, Sherp, Letterman's excuse was "I was making fun of the 18 yo, not the 14 yo." Like it's okay to make fun of ANY person the way he does? I wouldn't say those comments about an 88 yo let alone a 14 yo.
Time for this pervert to go…
Sherp, I just filled out the online complaint form at http://www.fcc.gov, I recommend all fair minded people to do the same. It is FORM 475B.
Yet another wrong conclusion based on faulty assumptions. The quoted bit is only about a fourth of the original comment, which, I think, was deleted because it cogently scoffed at this ridiculous exercise in taking umbrage. Or perhaps because I gave it a sub-heading:
Sarah Palin: Still Stupid and Ready to Prove It
And then went on to say anyone can take offense at anything, if they're willing to work hard enough at it.
Except for presenting an opinion contrary to the norm on this site, I'm not sure what post killing boundary I crossed, but there ya go.
This is the joke, in its entirety: "One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game, during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."
Now to successfully side step the conclusion that he's making a comedy mashup of A-Rod's infidelity and Bristol Palin's "single teen mom advocates for abstinence" activity, the person seeking to be offended must make several assumptions:
1 – David Letterman, and/or his writers, keeps track of who's traveling with Sarah Palin at all times.
2 – David Letterman, and/or his writers, remembered Palin had a daughter other than Bristol. (Because, for reasons of appropriate propriety, Willow Palin hasn't been a subject of much national attention. Sarah Palin has five children; can you name the other three?)
3 – That "knocked up" means rape. (to cite it as a technical definition for sexual contact with minors is to already assume that Letterman was specifically referring to Willow Palin.)
But if you're going to be that picky about it, then you should also ponder this fact, as reported by the New York Daily News, "The Palins left sometime in the sixth inning for the awards dinner." (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/06/...
In which case, logic inexorably drags you around again to the conclusion that it was a joke, a readily assertainable fiction presented with humorous intent. (The effectiveness of the joke is a wholely different question.)
If you're going to rely on the fact that Willow was the only Palin daughter present to conclude that Letterman /must/ have been talking about her, then you have to rely on the fact that the Palins left the stadium before the seventh inning, and thus conclude it was indeed a joke all along.
This excessive willingness of some folks to jump to the worst possible conclusion, and then hold fast to it regardless of fact or reason is the saddest part of this whole episode.
why stoop to their level?
Is this "do unto others as they have just done to you"?
you're right. the recent mentions of him dogging GE back when he was on NBC got stuck in my head. i'm in bed long before the late nite talk shows come on- and this entire topic and thread is a good reason why it's gonna stay that way.
An "Old white man" who should retire. Whaddya think? 8 years of Republican jokes weren't enough, huh. Still picking on Republicans. That's because LIBERALS AREN'T FUNNY!!!!

Frankly, you STILL don't seem to get it. The problem, beyond the sexism, is that Gov. Palin's daughters are not only very young and probably humiliated by all of this in front their school friends, but are not even public figures. The 'slutty airline attendant' crack about Palin was crass, sexist and inappropriate, but she's a public figure and by now accustomed to shrugging off much worse. But taking aim at her child?
Put it this way: for that cartoon to have been the same, the cops would have to be talking to two very young monkeys, with "Sasha" and "Malia" name tags, telling them they'd have to get a new Dad. It was THAT crass.
I think you're stupid, bob. I think you're so stupid that your comment makes no sense, which only shows what an "addled" thinker you are. Good thing we don't believe in locking people up for stupidity, because you deserve a life sentence.
I wouldn't be surprised if Letterman has kiddie porn on his home PC, the filthy pervert.
[...] Top Ten Possible Letterman Reactions to Fallout Over Willow Palin Rape ‘Joke’ – 10. Listen, I didn’t know Willow Palin was 14. She was born in 1995. I thought she was still 13. [...]
I registered my disgust with emails to CBS, which I listed below. If anyone has Les Moonves's and Letterman's email addrs, or other appropriate recipients, please list them.

This is to bring to your attention that David Letterman in his "Late Show" monologue joked
about a baseball player (A-Rod) committing the statutory rape of 14 year-old Willow Palin,
daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, while at a recent Yankees game.
Regardless of your politics, this is an outrageous, immoral attempt at humor at the expense
of an innocent family member of a public figure. Imagine the hue and cry and wailing of the media
if he had similarly joked about Malia Obama.
I would fully expect that attempting to find humor in "knocking up" underage children, no matter
the target, is a violation of your corporation's ethics and code of conduct. I would expect CBS, and
Dave Letterman, to issue an apology, and that CBS would warn its various media entities from
crossing such lines in the future.
and to cbsmailbag@aol.com
Hey Dave,
I used to be one of your biggest fans – but not anymore.
Your non-stop politically driven "humor" has turned me, and most off my friends, completely off.
You USED to be "can't miss TV", now I'd have to be paid to watch your exercise in banality and repetition.
Caught the monologue clip from about A-Rod and the statutory rape of 14-y.o. Willow Palin. Hilarious!!
Here's another one you can use:
"Did you see where Derek Jeter is Malia Obama's baby daddy?"
Ouch – not so funny huh?
I don't know where the truly funny Dave of the "GE Handshake", Velcro suit, Byrant Gumbel bullhorn, etc.,
went, but in his place is a jaded, mean, sophomoric ideologue who's actually painful to watch.
I never thought I'd ever say this about you, but I agree with Shirley McClaine and Cher.
Time to fade to black Dave, we won't miss the current you.
and then today:
Hey Dave,
Caught your "not really an apology, but kind of denial" about your disgusting "joke" at the expense of 14-y.o. Willow Palin,
(BTW: saying you were joking about 18-y.o. Bristol is not an excuse and makes you look even more pathetic).
Man up former buddy! Admit you crossed the line, and give the Palin's a REAL apology.
Show that you can rise above your 1-note, intolerant, ideology –
show there is some shred of decency left in you –
that you're more than a bitter, washed-up, immoral hack that took five years to marry your baby mama.
Be a man.
