Yes, if Clinton's kid was off limits & Obama kids are off limits then what's her name kids should be off limits too.

/don't care

He did, the next day. The real question is should the Palins start acting like the Christians they pretend to be and accept that apology, or continue to completely misrepresent what Letterman said to score points with the idiots who make up their base?

She accused David Letterman of child molestation, so he might as well just molest that child now.

Why? Should every comedian now have to apologize for every joke they say that someone finds offensive?

Subby, I approve of your sarcasm over the shameful lack of coverage of things in Iran right now.

Carry on, Sir/Madam

why is this shiat still going on?
why is this even a PRETEND issue?

I guess any press is good press for palin ....
LOL

/democrats for palin 2012

This is the dumbest damned issue ever.

The right-wing always complains about political correctness.

Now THEY are the champions of PC comedy?

Go figure, Republicans are lousy hypocrites like always.

And wow.

David Letterman.

What an edgy comedian, if you just woke up in 1983.

Wait till they find out about Howard Stern.

Oh, I forgot, the Bush administration banished him from terrestrial radio after Janet Jackson showed a tittie on TV.

These are the issues that are important to America's right-wing.

I vote we mock them more, and quite a lot more mercilessly. These idiots deserve every bit of it.

And I hope Letterman comes back on Monday mocking Palin silly for this nonsense.

jbc: He did, the next day. The real question is should the Palins start acting like the Christians they pretend to be and accept that apology, or continue to completely misrepresent what Letterman said to score points with the idiots who make up their base?

choice B... the one with the idiots.

It's always the one with the idiots, isn't it? God dammit so much.

I dunno what this is doing for Palin but I've started watching Letterman again.

Kome: Why? Should every comedian now have to apologize for every joke they say that someone finds offensive?

Michael Kramer would probably agree.

Yes. I would be pissed off if I were a flight attendant.

Confabulat:

And I hope Letterman comes back on Monday mocking Palin silly for this nonsense.

He can mock Plain all he wants. Not the kids though.
He won't do that again. I think he likes his salary.

Funny, I had always heard that it was the liberals that fostered a culture of victimhood.

jbc: He did, the next day. The real question is should the Palins start acting like the Christians they pretend to be and accept that apology, or continue to completely misrepresent what Letterman said to score points with the idiots who make up their base?

No he didn't apologize. He explained (and in an unconvincing way), which isn't the same thing. When he actually says he's sorry and means it then Palin can consider whether to accept it or not. Speaking of idiots, I'd say the imbeciles who think Letterman is funny are far more qualified for that category than Palin's base.

I have to admit, if I had complete control over 26% of the population of the country and could make them dance like idiots at my command I'd be every bit as bad as the worst of the major GOP figures right now. There's no real power or gain, but the satisfaction of an unholy army of drooling retards doing anything I say is just too wild to pass up.

dictyboy: Funny, I had always heard that it was the liberals that fostered a culture of victimhood.

They've gotten so good at it that they've lowered the bar for us all.

jjorsett: No he didn't apologize. He explained (and in an unconvincing way), which isn't the same thing. When he actually says he's sorry and means it then Palin can consider whether to accept it or not.

OMG POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RUN AMOK!!!1

Nina_Hartley's_Ass: I dunno what this is doing for Palin but I've started watching Letterman again.

Come to think of it, this is the worst possible thing for Conan. All Dave has to do is make the most oblique references to Palin in his monologue and this could go on for weeks.

/is there a term for someone who quotes his own posts?
//besides douchebag?

He should only apologize for sucking

Sarah Palin is doing for Letterman what Hugh Grant did for Leno. Or so an AP article tonight says.

Well done for rescuing Dave's career, Palin. Our Liberal Overlords were worried that our left-wing influence was fading. We were even considering putting a Jew Hollywood Elite in his time slot.

jjorsett: jbc: He did, the next day. The real question is should the Palins start acting like the Christians they pretend to be and accept that apology, or continue to completely misrepresent what Letterman said to score points with the idiots who make up their base?

That's quite a stretch there pal. I mean nothing can compare to the folks who still think Obama is a sekret muslim set to destroy all that is good about America from the inside. Those people kick idiocy up a notch compared to folks who find a few topical jokes funny.

Hick: He can mock Plain all he wants. Not the kids though.

She's got an 18-year-old daughter that was knocked up by some redneck fisherman who left her.

That's grounds for mockery.

If you're old enough to die in the service of this country, you're old enough to be mocked by Letterman.

Grow some nuts, Republicans, you little sissy children.

dictyboy: Funny, I had always heard that it was the liberals that fostered a culture of victimhood.

So do you have any underage sisters that Alex Rodriguez can inseminate, with his penis, not a turkey baster?
What about your mom? See, I am a comedian.
See how humorous that is?

Nina_Hartley's_Ass: Come to think of it, this is the worst possible thing for Conan

I know! All that media buzz about the new Tonight Show, gone, poof!

God NBC must hate Sarah Palin right now.

I must be one of the imbeciles, because I thought Letterman was quite amusing. Palin and her entire family are exhibitionists, and will do anything for attention. She is loving this entire mess, just for the attention.

First. The defense that "He really meant her 18 year old" isn't a defense at all. If you're going to make a joke about a political figures daughter, at least do your homework and know which one is actually attending, if for no other reason than to avoid looking like a dick who picks on under age girls.
Second: It's a valid point to rub his nose in the fact that he did in fact mock a fourteen year old girl and suggest in a joking fashion that she was going to be farking an adult male. If for no other reason than he didn't do his damn homework.

Now as for this whole controversy, I'm sure the Palins are a little pissed that people keep using their kids to strike at them; no parent on the face of the planet wouldn't be. Add to that the fact that this is giving her a whole host of press time and interviews in which she can showcase the new pipe line deal and demonstrate how up to snuff she is on National matters; Both ABC and CNN asked her about National Issues such as Missile Defense, North Korea and the Iran elections as well as her pipe line. Each one finished up the interview with a Letterman question, which I'm sure was the main reason they asked for an interview.

So yea, keep playing this like the Palins are the bad one's in this whole thing. Letterman didn't apologize, he joked about the mix up and that's it. An apology consists of a heart felt "I'm Sorry" and he hasn't done that yet.

He should.

dictyboy: Funny, I had always heard that it was the liberals that fostered a culture of victimhood.

You don't have a daughter do you? SP's kid is 14 you don't joke about statatory rape. It's not victimhood it's basic decency.

Confabulat: Hick: He can mock Plain all he wants. Not the kids though.

She's got an 18-year-old daughter that was knocked up by some redneck fisherman who left her.

That's grounds for mockery.

Grow some nuts, Republicans, you little sissy children.

You do realize Letterman made reference to the daughter she was in town with, the 14 year old daughter. Right.

I think every newspaper should be required to publish a scorecard of the issues their pundits were correct or incorrect on over the past year.

That's not going to happen, either.

torquestripe: You do realize Letterman made reference to the daughter she was in town with, the 14 year old daughter. Right.

I DID watch Letterman say he wasn't talking about the 14-year-old and act like a MAN and talk like an adult about what he said.

You apparently are just a victim. And are not enough of a grown-up to listen to him.

Didn't Lush Limpdick spend several years calling Chelsea "Carrot-top"?

Confabulat: Hick: He can mock Plain all he wants. Not the kids though.

I'd disagree with that if it weren't for the fact that she put herself out there on talk shows and magazine interviews. If you're an adult and you choose to make yourself a public figure you should be prepared for stuff like this, especially when what you're famous for is such an easy punchline for lazy writers.

The slutty stewardess joke was in poor taste but certainly not shouldn't have been as big of a deal as it ended up. However, trying to claim the knocked up joke was made about the younger daughter is a farking ridiculous attempt to milk more publicity and act like a poor victim of that big mean liberal media.

Confabulat: Nina_Hartley's_Ass: Come to think of it, this is the worst possible thing for Conan

I've haven't seen a huge controversy about this like so many are trying to turn this into. You know this is only going to embolden Letterman right?

I worry about Conan too, maybe they can put him back at Late Night. Jimmy Fallon turned it to shiat.

Yes I changed the topic but really, is this worth discussing. Oh one more thing:

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because her father is Janet Reno."
-John McCain 1998

That is all.

torquestripe: dictyboy: Funny, I had always heard that it was the liberals that fostered a culture of victimhood.

sniffle... sniffle... what makes... sniffle.... what makes it worse is that Rodriguez has a HISPANIC PENIS !! I don't know where turkey basters are made, but have you ever seen an out of control hispanic penis violating white women ? Sniffle... sniffle... it's just not funny.... just not funny....not at all.

You stupid libs.

torquestripe: You do realize Letterman made reference to the daughter she was in town with, the 14 year old daughter. Right.

Oh man, I'm not getting sucked into this again.

OK, just one comment: in order for it to be both offensive and malicious, you have to prove that Dave meant Willow and not Bristol. Since he came out and said that he meant Bristol and didn't realize it was Willow, he's guilty of bad taste but not anything else. So it might be offensive, if you get off being offended that someone else's daughter was insulted, but it ain't malicious.

Who cares about this garbage, last I heard, there's a revolution going on.

CanisNoir: I'm sure the Palins are a little pissed that people keep using their kids to strike at them; no parent on the face of the planet wouldn't be

If they didn't want their kids in the media they shouldn't have whored them out like they did in the campaign.

CanisNoir: Letterman didn't apologize, he joked about the mix up and that's it. An apology consists of a heart felt "I'm Sorry" and he hasn't done that yet.

Well, if he's not actually sorry, why should he? :P

Besides the fact that the joke wasn't funny and didn't make sense, politicians' kids should be off limits in any situation. The Palin family has every right to be upset about the joke. Has A-rod said anything about it yet?

/Letterman is not, has not, and has never been funny

Halli: CanisNoir: I'm sure the Palins are a little pissed that people keep using their kids to strike at them; no parent on the face of the planet wouldn't be

If they didn't want their kids in the media they shouldn't have whored them out like they did in the campaign.

...and politicians never do that, right?

CanisNoir: he did in fact mock a fourteen year old girl

No, he didn't. Quit lying.

borg: Yes, if Clinton's kid was off limits & Obama kids are off limits then what's her name kids should be off limits too.

/don't care

She ran for the WH with a man who had no trouble joking about Chelsey Clinton.

Didn't Letterman already apologize?

Mordant: what makes it worse is that Rodriguez has a HISPANIC PENIS !!

Do not GIS "hispanic penis."
NSFW! (new window)

/actually some kind of fish...

apistat: However, trying to claim the knocked up joke was made about the younger daughter is a farking ridiculous attempt to milk more publicity and act like a poor victim of that big mean liberal media.

You know, this is the thing that irritates me the most. The fact that he was so callous about the fact that he would be making fun of somebodies daughter on national TV that he didn't even bother to fact check; he just heard "Sarah Palin and Daughter" and off went the joke.

The lack of fore thought on his part is quite telling and really the most infuriating thing of this for me.

Halli: If they didn't want their kids in the media they shouldn't have whored them out like they did in the campaign.

Don't be silly; they didn't do anything more than Obama or any other politician has done with their children. Or do you think making fun of Biden's dead son and wife is just knee slapping funny?

I said, THERE'S A REVOLUTION GOING ON.

Mrtraveler01: "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?

"Everyone knows the Clintons have a cat. Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is a White House dog?"
*Holds up a picture of Chelsea Clinton*
-Rush Limbaugh, on his early 90s TV show, 1993

Having conquered non-Republican AM radio hosts (for a few months in 2003), the lunatic American right-wing sets its sights on network late-night comedy hosts!

At this rate, they'll have gotten to 18-year-old tranny porn online by 2123.

Good luck waging that War Against Christmas this year, lunatic Republicans. You're spreading the troops too thin.

CanisNoir: Don't be silly; they didn't do anything more than Obama or any other politician has done with their children.

Palin has used her children as props non-stop since her nomination last year. The Obamas have gone out of their way to keep their children out of the spotlight as much as humanly possible. Again, quit lying.

Letterman should apologize for his comment when Palin apologizes for 2008.
