Jun 16 2009David Letterman apologizes to Sarah Palin

fiiiiiiirst

Celebrities need to stop apologizing for shit. This is a free country. If David Letterman wants to insult Sarah Palin (who's certainly worthy of insult), then he should go ahead and do so. And then when people call him on it, he can say, "Yeah, I insulted her. And no, I'm not apologizing." BAM! Controversy over.

Well said, Superficial writer. Sarah Palin is not the champion of women's rights that she thinks she is at the moment.

Im a New Yorker and i was offended, I will not accept his apology until his 50 writers do the same...is Sara Palin nuts, and who voted for this woman....

I want to tattoo Fish's final comment onto my knuckles and punch the bitch until even Alaskan men won't fuck her.

I don't exactly remember the actual joke verbatim, but wasn't it CLEARLY about the 14 year old daughter? Since she was spotted at the Yankees game with Sarah?

If that's true, then it's bullshit that Letterman has to backpedal that much. I understand he's a public figure, but he's a COMEDIAN. Comedians tell some pretty offensive jokes at other people's expense. It's not a threat of violence or anything, so what's the big deal?

When she was Mayor or Wasilla, the City charged women for rape kits. This is absolutely true.

She thinks women should have to carry pregnancies due to rape to term according to her own past statements. This is even crazier than most of the gop thinks about 'pro-life'

When I ran into her in at SEATAC in 2007, she was looking at the supeficial type cosmo magazines at the Border's Books.

I could go on and on...

Sarah Palin: The wife from the Handmaid's Tale. Her goal in life is to achieve as much power as she can by advocating for the loss of women's rights, and someday she will be a sad woman with no rights and no power.

Palin hopes guys who make jokes like that will "evolve"? Doesn't that fly in the face of her crazy creationist beliefs? Is she even a creationist? Am I talking out of my ass?

Perhaps yes, perhaps no. But straight up, Palin needs to shut the fuck up. Why is she even being covered on national media anymore? Bitch lost, let her fade into obscurity, for Christ's sake. (superficial writer guy, I'm looking at you. You and letterman)

Heads should roll over there, Ive seen better writings from free cable access tv....

Aww, the superficial writer hates women. Or is a flaming liberal. Neither is cool.

Palin is a MILF. Letterman is an old piece of shit.

Yeah, that's right, because the only person who gets to exploit Sarah Palin's daughter is Sarah Palin! Her daughter's unfortunate pregnancy is a huge boon to the Abstinence Movement, and it better not be used for anything else, you betcha.

let's not make this into a political argument... a comedian insulted a clown...
let's leave it to the correct arena: the circus.

thanks!

LOL...Palin just said evolve? I thought she was a bible bashing creationist.

Politics aside, the joke was CLEARLY directed toward the 14 year old daughter, since the 18 year old wasn't even there to begin with... so if Letterman knew Palin was there, and knew she had a daughter with her, he must've known WHICH daughter was with her.

Now he's saying the joke was "obviously" about the legal daughter, which it OBVIOUSLY wasn't.

You don't like someone's politics? Fine, but don't fucking defend jokes about victimizing underage girls. That is the most fucking disgusting thing you piece of shit left-wing ideologues have said thus far. If i could hit Letterman with a fucking "get a clue" hammer, i would. Jesus.

Before you go winging bullshit accusations of me on my politics, no, i DO NOT LIKE SARAH PALIN... i'm not going to allow my dislike of her as an EXCUSE to say fucking repulsive misogynistic things about her children.

Advocating this kind of shit is like supporting the KKK because a black girl wouldn't go out with you in Jr. high. It's like you people think if you don't like someone for whatever reason, it's perfectly acceptable to throw their entire circle of acquaintances under the bus regardless of their level of involvement.

Get a fucking clue, you disgusting pieces of shit.

Letterman's joke wasn't nearly as offensive as the stupid joke John McCain made, making fun of Chelsea Clinton's looks, when she was 13 years old. I wish he hadn't apologized, too. Seriously, if you invite teen pregnancy by neglecting your children and failing to instruct them in the proper use of birth control, prepare yourself for some comments when they get knocked up. I hope
Sarah Palin "evolves" enough to teach her remaining children how to PUT ON A CONDOM! That will stop the jokes!

Christ, people, Sarah Derangement Syndrome much? For all liberals want to talk "tolerance" they sure as hell don't have much.

Letterman hasn't been funny in.. decades, and nobody should get away with talking that way about a 14-year-old girl. AND 14-year-old girl. Imagine the shitstorm if someone had said something even remotely as tasteless about one of Obama's kids.

Funny that Letterman likes to talk shit about Bristol Palin getting knocked up out of wedlock... didn't ol' Dave do the EXACT same thing? And he's sure as fuck old enough to know better.

Christ, people, Sarah Derangement Syndrome much? For all liberals want to talk "tolerance" they sure as hell don't have much.

Sorry guys. There's no evidence that Palin put into place the "rape kit" regulations and all the evidence points to the police departments charging insurance companies when it was possible, due to the high cost incurred by local government. I realize the facts aren't always as exciting as myths, but I'm not here to entertain, but rather to educate:

http://townhall.com/Columnists/AmandaCarpenter/2008/09/11/the_palin_rape_kit_myth?page=full&comments=true

But I digress. David Letterman can joke about baseball players raping the daughters of people he disagrees with politically all he wants. People who don't like it can just NOT WATCH. It's pretty clear there were a lot of people who made it clear that they weren't going to watch, which is why he apologized. "Freedom of Speech" doesn't mean you are free from being judged accordingly when you say something REALLY stupid.

I would definitely love to knock Sarah Palin up, several times. It would be Me and Sarah plus 15.

I find it comical all you liberal fudgepackers called for my head when I told a joke. Liberal logic = Hypocrisy

The I-man

Is it possible to enjoy this site and have a brain too? Apparently not by the left wing lock stepping that goes on here.

The left, which is the great defender of women, can't stomach a woman that isn't liberal.

The joke was stupid because everyone knows A-Rod is gay.

@15

Shut the fuck up, you tight ass bitch.
It's a joke made by a comedian on late night television. Don't like it? Don't watch it. There's a reason why it's on late. Get over it and remove the pole from your ass. I've heard much worse come out of other comedians' mouths.

@22 to be fair this site has always been liberal, if you can't laugh with your political opponent how could you enjoy this site, as you said?

I'm neutral on the subject, the joke was clearly aimed at willow which isn't fair she's innocent in this, but Sarah Palin is an easy target for ridicule, no matter what your ideology is she has tried to pass some weird shit into legislation.

#17 - I have your name tattooed on my parole form.

#21 - Imus doesn't talk about "libs" you douche. Nice try.

Democrats:

For dismembering live human beings in the womb since the 1970s!

"She thinks women should have to carry pregnancies due to rape to term according to her own past statements. This is even crazier than most of the gop thinks about 'pro-life'"

It seems to be the most logical thing to do in cases of rape to kill the rapist as opposed to the resulting child. We're so sorry women find pregnancy so inconvenient which explains why 40 million kids have been killed in the last few decades, but maybe its broads who need to toughen up

As much as I despise Letterman, he shouldn't have had to apologize. Just like Imus shouldn't have had to apologize (or lose his job!!!!!!), etc, etc. But if the left wants political correctness then everyone should have to abide by it. What's at
issue here is the left only wants to demonize the political correctness that offends them. Thankfully the nation is finally starting to see through this hypocrisy. Hopefully, they'll be able to see through Obama soon. It's coming.

Anyone who believes it was about the 14yo sorry 'ur' old is buying into this bullshit.
She knows full well it was about her daughter that can't close her legs or use birth control and she didn't like it so she's twisting it so everyone thinks it's about her 14'ur' old so she can get revenge by turning public opinion against him.

Also she's implying the joke was rape when she really knows it's likely if it was to happen it would be her daughter making ALL the moves.

@27

Yo, Pepe.

I am not interested in your Pope-influenced abortion ideas.

Just mow my fucking lawn and move on.

thank you.

fish I love you.

#17 said - Imagine the shitstorm if someone had said something even remotely as tasteless about one of Obama's kids.

Well I can't really imagine equating Obama's children to Palin's in regards to this joke because none of Obama's kids were under aged whores who got knocked up.

Palin 2012 !!

#28 I sure hope so...But I'm under the nagging suspicion that if Obama came out right now and told everyone he was Jesus they'd all turn into believers.

@27

I'd like to know how many children who were a product of rape you have personally adopted...

Letterman hasn't been funny in years....

Palin, on the other hand, reminds me of those chicks on the cumonmyglasses.com website.

What....like you don't know what I talking about.....

.

@26--

What does that even mean, Rich? Should I be skeered? :-P

David Letterman did not have to apologize! Palin should apologize for being a HUMOR-LESS CUNT! Seriously! She is the reason why McCain didn't get the vote for president...Because she's a FUCKING RIGHT WING WACKO!!!!!!!
The last thing this country needed was another Jesus loving freak telling us what we should think, read, watch,eat and feel. Look, I go to church, but the last thing I want is my preacher on tv every fucking day telling me what to do!

Hey Dave, next time sack up and tell them to FUCK OFF!

Let's hope this is the end of the David Letterman - Sarah Palin feud. While last week Letterman apologized, it was in a snarky sort of way, and wasn't accepted by Palin...

1.) Letterman, you're a big fat slobbering pussy.
2.) Palin, you're a dangerous hypocrite.
3.) Gina Gershon in a bikini - god she is so hot
4.) Willow is so going to get knocked up in three years, and Palin should get down on both knees and beg Letterman for an apology
5.) BULLETIN BULLETIN BULLETIN : Lindsey Lohan wanted by Scotland Yard

#26,

WWHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSHH!

I never said I talk about libs d-bag. All I'm saying is I think it's funny that the libs want to give Letterman a pass and when I told a joke I had Sharpton, Jackson, Obama (that's right, look it up) Rosie O'donnell and all the bitches from the View (except the hot one) wanting my head on a platter. It's hypocrisy you can't quite make up.

The I-man

Palin 2012 ?!

Superfish..you're an idiot...

He should apologize. That joke crossed the line, maybe unintentionally, but it still did.
Lettreman was a man about it and admited he was wrong unlike all you losers who can't man up and admit if you messed up.

@15 werd!

#37 - No... just my way of saying hi... :-)

#41 - Nope... still a stupid impression of Imus. Let's look at your examples... Black, Black, Black, gay... dude, NEVER show your hand when playing poker... it just makes you a douche.

The joke was a shot at Alex Rodriguez, with A Palin daughter used as the set up for the joke. But, Sarah Palin, unable to keep out of the cameras lens, jumped at any chance to remind America, the Wasilla Hillbilly's are still lookin' to shack up at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in 2012. Get the rockin' chairs, white lightnin', and banjos ready. That garden Michele O planted is gonna be a snow mobile track before too long, if, Sarah Palin has anything to say 'bout it. Yee-haw!

Just wait, it won't be too much longer until the adult movie spoofs start up again. Look for titles such as, "I Did A Rod; Doin' It Alaskan Doggie Style", or Thunda From The Tundra; 30 Lays A Night."

Sara Palin's a cunt & so are her ugly daughters.

Fish if you care about women's rights so much and hate "ironic racism" why don't you actually contribute to girls NOT shoving their fingers down their throats and stop with the casual misogyny and body shaming you push EVERY FUCKING DAY.

I'm curious how many people would be falling on Letterman if it was Obama's daughters that the joke was aimed at instead of Palin's.

@15

Hey ass-hat. The problem we have with Palin is that she's ignorant, dangerous and can't seem to stay the fuck out of the spotlight. She'll jump at any chance to make herself relevant. Her daughter was used as the setup for a joke. Nothing more. If she doesn't like it she should never have accepted the nomination and should have never stepped into the spotlight and began spouting some of the most ignorant and hateful shit we've ever heard.

When the church she attended burned down she even had the nerve to make THAT about herself. She said "I'm sorry if my involvement in the election had anything to do with this." Isn't that cute. Simultaneously making it about HER and making thinly veiled accusations that some "Real America" hating libs or dems may have started the fire. Nice.

Bitch, please. She needs to fucking die--bulldogged from the back of a snowmobile by a fucking polar bear and then having her empty skull slowly crushed in its jaws while her brood of failure look on.

this whole thing is such bullshit, what a bunch of fuckin ass clowns

1rst: the joke was in no way "out of bounds" even if it was referring to the 14 yr old. It was not offensive.

2nd Palin has to use any oppurtunity to get her moose cunt onto the airwaves so that she can sell some more books or something else since no one takes her serious anymore, she is tantamount to a spencer pratt, a publlicity whore

3rd Letterman, do your balls sag so low that you have forgotten about them? WHAT A PUSSY!!

4th O'Reilly had on a facial expression interpreter to interpret the facial expressions of letterman making the apology and palin accepting it - holy fucking shit

jesus christ, i am ready to move to Mexico - what happened to us??

51 well said actually...we're here, fish, because we like the casual misogyny and body shaming, so don't get all uppity and lecture-y on us about women's rights

#56 well you're a cunt but at least you're a consistent cunt.

#52-

Showing some more of that good old liberal humanitarianism and tolerance they're so famous for...

Christ, people, get a grip. Or some meds. You don't have to like her or anyone else, but don't you think the vitriol is a little over the top?

#47-

Hi Rich!

the joke was clearly about A-Rod, and apparently (if palin and letterman's apology are to be believed) the joke was meant to imply that he would rape a 14-year old girl if one got within a three hundred foot radius of him.

Where's his apology?

Just so you douche bags get it right Letterman has these things called
"writers" they write the jokes. Sarah Palin is a fucking whack job. The only redeeming quality she has is that her daughters are fu*kable. Oh no she's 14
well in Palin years thats only 1 1/2 years to motherhood

#56 Oh, just to be clear I still have absolutely no respect for you, and dearly hope you dive on a punji stick.

@ 25 I do laugh along with my political opponents.

Anyway, people target her because she's not as slick as seasoned politicians. Look at Biden. He looks like the crookedest used car salesman.

Dammit DAve, stop saying you're sorry! It was a mean but funny thing to say. And you are mean but funny. I fee;l sorry for Bristol Palin: she got pregnant to get away from her mother and here she is stuck at home with not only her baby, but Palin's ,babysitting while Mom is trying to get out of Alaska. Then ol Todd chimed in, making Bristol go on a tour of "abstinance" telling kids not to be a big slut like her. Bristol needs to run away!!

Palin will grab at anything to stay in the spotlight. She should just fuck off. If Letterman has anything to apologize for it should be for wearing tassel loafers and white socks with a pinstripe suit. Wotta douche. At least he wasn't posing with one of his pathetic frat boy cigars. He's a big shitbag cliche.

#47...I guess I'm with #37. Your posts don't make any fucking sense. I must have struck a chord with my original post because the only reply was from a mental defective.

I-man

I won't even mention that barf-inducing tie.

hopefully we won't hear from peggy hill for many months now...

Letterman should apologize to A-Rod!

Ignorant Superficial. Does killing the baby of a rape victim, help the victim of the rape forget she was raped? Let the child live and choose the option of giving the child up for adoption, but don't kill the child and create another innocent victim of an evil crime.

The open-mindedness of the left is on full display. Always for freedom of speech, unless you disagree with them. Always for women's rights, unless you're a woman who doesn't agree with them. Always for tolerance, unless you are considered intolerable. The irony is amazing.

#54 - I agree. The manufactured controversy reeks of the Speidi-ing" of the US. Al Roker needs to give Palin the smackdown too.

#52 - Yea, I heard that on the radio this morning too, except Palin isn't president... get an original thought. Even Bush never paraded his daughters around like a fucking Mommy Dearest wacko with a mandate from God.

If Imus's career was ruined over a vague comment like "nappy headed ho" than this left wing loser should be fired for the comments he made!

HEY PEOPLE!!!

Wouldn't this joke have been ***TWICE AS FUNNY*** if it were about Samson Obama instead of A-Rod and Sasha Obama instead of Willow Palin?

NOW THAT"S HUMOR!

#53- ok so that means that Obummers high yellow little cunts are fair game too, right? I mean since he accepted the job and all.

Everyone of you liberal leftard fucks owes Don Imus and apology AND his fucking job back.

Hypocrit's every damn one of you fucking morons, keep drinking the kool-aid so you can be blissfully unaware of the damage Obie is doing to this country.

I-Man, you can joke about whatever you want and you have the right to do it. Same with Letterman. Maybe what he said wasn't tasteful in the least but worse has been said in the name of humor. Sarah Palin has taken it too far and she needs to get over it. It's done, let it go.

On a side note, people like you would gladly take the right of free speech away from people like me. But we wouldn't do that to you. Which means we obviously have more respect for you than you do for us.

#74 - Imus has his job back you idiot.

Silly me for thinking this was about a joke.

Please research the issues before maligning Sarah Palin's positions. There was a law in several cities in Alaska that required the victim to pay for their rape kit. No one in Wascilla was ever charged for their rape kit. Not one person. And when it came to light that some cities had that law on the book, it was changed statewide by the state legislature (by the way, in all the testimony before the committees, not once was the city of Wascilla used as an example.). Sarah Palin had NOTHING to do with that law being on the books. And Sarah Palin has never said that she would change abortion laws to restrict women who have been raped from having an abortion. Not once did she say that was her position or that she would try to change our laws to reflect that position. Yes, she is a part of Feminists for Life but again, not ONCE has she said she would change our laws in regard to abortion.

And by the way, Susan B. Anthony was 100% pro-life. Again, please do some research before maligning women. This is supposed to be a funny site, right? Completely distorting Palin's stances on issues certainly isn't making me laugh ...

#22 "The left, which is the great defender of women, can't stomach a woman that isn't liberal."

that's because conservative views are generally not women-friendly. liberal women don't understand why another woman would support political ideas that oppress. It's like a gay republican... or a pro-life, hunting democrat. weird is all.

#70 "The open-mindedness of the left is on full display. Always for freedom of speech, unless you disagree with them. Always for women's rights, unless you're a woman who doesn't agree with them. Always for tolerance, unless you are considered intolerable. The irony is amazing."

we're not intolerant of the intolerable, we are intolerant of INTOLERANCE and that is a good thing. it means less hate generally.

Why's everybody such a pussy? Palin's ok to trash, but not sleazy John Edwards, sleezy Kennedy family, hypocrite Pelosi, illegal home loan Barney Fwank and please not Obama-siah & his tax-cheating cabinet posse. 57 states, teleprompter up his ass, walks thru windows, expensive NYC AF1 jet scare, what's wrong people....wake up! Guess what, the idiot is us. House & Senate have their own retirement system, no Social Sec system for them, no sir. Wake up idiots!

#76- Really? Seen his TV show lately? Me either.

He lost a lot of money, was off the air for months and does not have what he had before the race baiter's had a tizzy fit.

Letterman deserves the same because what he said was even more offensive than 'nappy headed ho's', if what Letterman said was 'just a joke' then so was what Imus said, but the hypocrisy of the left won't allow that because the target was a conservative woman- even your messiah said the families are off limits, listen to your holy one.

And Letterman is still full of shit, in his response he first says that he didn't know anyone was with Palin at the game and then goes on to say that he did, however, check to make sure her daughter was 18.

So riddle me this Batman, why is he checking the daughters age if he had no idea 'anyone' was at the ball game with her except Giuliani?

And is it really so much better that he said this about an 18 year old rather than a 14 year old? Really? That makes it acceptable?

Poor Conan.

Late night hosts should have he freedom to make off color jokes. But lets be consistent. No one should fly off the deep end when I joke about ass-raping Letterman's son or how R. Kelly was invited to the White House and promptly tried to pee on the Obama girls. It's just a joke.

I think we're ignoring the most important question: Is that beast standing behind Letterman his wife? If so, I suspect this whole controversy is unrequited love and he jacks off to Palin on a daily basis.

#82 - The way you wackos attempt to conflate completely unrelated circumstances to somehow prop up your misinformed positions is beyond idiotic. So, by your rationale, John McCain should no longer be in the Senate for his Chelsea Clinton joke. And I heard all that same crap you're spewing on the radio this morning too... except they have a team of researchers so their points sound original, where you're a bullshit Xerox. Do yourself a favor: stop being a fucking sheep and stop regurgitating all that junk being force fed into your malleable brain like Terri Schiavo's feeding tube. Also, you may want to upgrade your television service. Imus has been on RFD-TV for some time now and (gasp!) he speaks favorably about Obama too. Dick.

Well,

I guess the one silver lining for Republicans is, at least the headline stories involving sex scandals are getting back to straight sex acts....

#76. yes I know you idiot, but his career will never be the same. I never said he permanantly lost his job, but that his career was ruined, which it was....... you idiot.

@74

Yeah, it does. I was glad to watch Oberman, Maddow, the Daily Show and Cobert when they were slamming the Bush administration and I'm glad to watch them now that they've got their criticism, humor and parody focused on Obama. See, the majority of us libs and dems or whatever you want to label us--know how to take as well as give when it comes to criticism, humor and parody.

Also--who the fuck is Imus? No, seriously.

@79

What the left refers to as the intolerance of the right is actually more representative of the moral relativism of the left. What are seen as long standing principals by the right are considered impediments by leftists. The left protests the life of a murderer being taken by the death penalty but has no problem pulling all but the baby's head from the uterus and sucking its' brains out and calling it a late term abortion. Therein lies the hypocrisy of the 'tolerant' left.

we don't get the Colbert report over here anymore.
I've had to go back to watching the daily show.
It's not as good.

I'd seriously put it in Sarah Palin's butt while her daughter watched and masturbated. I mean her younger daughter that is. She can abuse her little man in the boat while I bury my liberal cock 9 inches into her mom's bowels while burning an American flag and smoking pot. I might even perform an abortion on a teenage prom-queen with a rusty hanger. Then when it's all done, I'll apologize for being so rude to her daughter by unloading three gallons of leftist seed all over her face.

To be fair though, I'll allow Michele Obama to be the fluffer girl in the interim between orgasms. I'm not particular, they are all just bitches I wanna fuck...nothing political about it. It's douches on the left and right that politicize everything. I may be a liberal, but I'm all about equal opportunity sexual humiliation. What I really want to do is punch every douche-fuck in the throat that pushed for David Letterman's dismissal over a late night joke. Get over yourselves you useless fucks, it's called freedom of fucking speech. If Imus wants to be a racist fuck, let him. If Miss California wants to be an intolerant sheep of the religious right, let her. If David Letterman wants to make a joke about ANYONE he feels like, let him, just please, shut your fucking useless mouths before I put 9 inches of honky liberal flesh into your throat.

Flame a ho

Palin jokes are so hip and edgy. Letterman is at the vanguard of comedic genius.

#86

Once again...WWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSH!

No one ever said I was a lib. All people are saying is you euphorians on the left are giving Letterman a free ride because of who his joke was aimed at. There's no consistency with you feebs. Do yourself a favor and quit typing or I'm going to have to apologize all the mental defectives I compared you to.

I-man

Letterman should not have apologized. John McCain should apologize for unleashing that ungodly bitch on the national political stage.

Anyone who couldn't see this was a clear jab at the knocked up (and legal) daughter is a fucking retard who should have their life revoked for being so profoundly stupid.

Just goes to show you that Republicans have NO sense of humor. It's fine when every talk show host on the air spends 8 years running down Clinton/Gore, but as soon the Bush/McCain/Palin jokes started, every TV personality was New York/Hollywood liberal elitist. Then they're the first ones to call bullshit on 'Political Correctness' when Rush or O'Reily or one of the other vultures go on a right-wing rant in the name of 'Journalism.' Seriously, get a life you idiots or do everyone else a favor and just kill yourself.

#90 then everyone's a hypocrite. murdering a murderer is ok? that makes no sense either. what i mean is... people who hate other groups of people to the point where they want to deny them basic human rights... that is intolerance that the left is intolerant about.

What is this fascination with Sarah Palin??
No one was talking about John Edwards, Jack Kemp or Lloyd Bentsen 7 months after they lost the election for vice president so why do we keep hearing about Sarah Palin and her daughter?

#30 ummmm i love you.

#96--

Exactly what planet are you on? These idiots are STILL making Bush jokes, because "they can't find anything funny about Obama". I get that. I don't find him funny at all, either. Biden, however, is comedy gold.

And that's all beside the point anyway. The problem was his remark about an underage girl - shouldn't matter whose daughter she is. It's sick. And A-Rod deserves an apology, too.

@11 You're an idiot.

@27 I can't even tell you how calous and moronic your statement was. I can only hope one day you never have to experince the terror, pain and humiliation of rape, only to have the "inconvenience" of carrying the product to term. But judging by your name, you are a man and have ZERO right to speak about what a woman does with her body. Pregnancy due to rape is not inconvenient, it's fucking cruel and inhumane punishment cast upon a victim. You would choose to have her victimized again and again I see. You make me sick. Your comment is the most offensive thing I have ever read on this sight.. Still Whites included.

I'm getting tired of hating people just because the media tells me to. It's becoming boring, yawn.

God damn...people need to find something else to flip out on.
hmmmmm...If only people were losing their homes or maybe if Iran and North Korea were powder-kegs waiting to explode or even if there was some kind of war raging in the middle east then maybe, just maybe we would have something important to talk about.
I thought this was a fun website?!
Now pray to me!

@103--

AND WE HAVE A WINNER!

Really, people, the media has been working this shit for a while. Why don't you try looking at things for yourselves? If you still don't like it, at least your opinion will be YOURS.

Wait, Sarah Palin said she hopes such men EVOLVE?
She's gonna get stoned out of her church for THAT.

I wonder how the same people here contriving to blame Palin for Letterman's being a ratings-seeking douchebag would respond if instead he'd called Michelle Obama a greasy fingered, fat assed, fried chicken eating gorilla. Or if he'd called Sasha and Malia a couple of tar babies. In that hypothetical, would Barry Obama be out of line to denounce him and demand an apology? Would it be wrong for supporters to call for his job? Because that sounds a lot like what the golden boy negroid Obama himself did to Imus in the aftermath of the Rutgers "nappy headed hos" situation...

@105 You need to be subjected to 20 hours of reality TV for reindoctrination.

SuperFish, please delete his and post 103 as per our agreement.

108--

You'd like my post deleted? You would like me silenced?

And you all say republicans are the fascists. You're certainly not well acquainted with irony, are you?

"Also, because Sarah Palin loves protecting women so much, she'll continue to fight for them to pay for rape kits in Alaska and then be forced to carry their perpetrator's baby to term. I would've just passed mandatory sandwich making legislation, but clearly, I'm not a modern-day Susan B. Anthony like the governor here. Well done."

You have renewed my faith in you, Fish.

I think the most outrageous things about this whole incident are that: 1) The Palins are pretending that they thought the joke was about their 14 year old daughter. & 2) The media is letting them get away
with it. The joke was about a public figure who wouldn't be a public figure if she hadn't already been "knocked up". Nobody thought the joke was about the 14 year old. The Palins are trying to get publicity and the media is giving it to them. They're no better than Heidi and whats-his-name.

Hey, #27, it's not pregnancy women find so so inconvenient, but motherhood. Lonely, impoverished motherhood, without decent low income housing or adequate low cost daycare. Oh, and by some odd coincidence, the very people who want to force women to continue their pregnancies, those right wing losers, are also doing their darnedest to eliminate welfare, prevent access to birth control, make quality health care inaccessible, and everything else they can think of to ensure poor, uneducated, young women can't manage motherhood without sinking into poverty and despair. Yeah, it's just a TAD inconvenient. And using Bristol Palin as a poster child for abstinence is a ridiculous, illogical JOKE, and the Palins have brought the ridicule on themselves. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

#112 Stop your crying--the world doesn't owe you anything. Pay for your own rapekits, too.

At least we're talking about citizens of the US having babies.. Anybody mad that you and I are funding many countrie's lack of social services by supporting illegals coming here & dropping babies like loco man! We make it attractive for them to do so, as long as we allow "anchor babies" -let's suck the entire population of Central America thru El Paso & TJ!! Let's all go down together!

Ha ha! This is why any politician with a brain either 1) gets her teenage daughters on birth control or 2) has her get a quick, quiet abortion when she gets knocked up. Because they don't want the teen subject to ridicule, along with having her education halted, and essentially her life ruined. BRISTOL MADE HER CHOICE, and public ridicule is just part of the package, just part of the price of being publicly sanctimonious. Enjoy!

He's got some tiny feet.

#97 So are you saying the left is intolerant to the rights of a third trimester baby but not to a murder? You didn't explain why the left if concerned about preserving the life of a killer, but is okay with killing babies. I'm just sayin'.

#117, abortion does not involve "killing babies." The stuff that gets scraped out is not a "baby". It's an embryo. Maybe, occasionally, it's a fetus. But the products of conception are not babies. I can bring over a wailing stinky drug-addicted baby with dark skin that nobody else wants, for you to spend your time and money on for 18 years, if you want to get a good sense of what a BABY is.

@117

Yep. Deal with it. So long as Roe vs Wade is upheld (which it will be), you anti-abortion ppl can do nothing but cry. Boo on 'unborn' embryos.

*cue the onslaught of trolling*

God I fucking hate this bitch. I don't even care about her politics, this isn't political, I just hate no-humor having cunt-holes who need constant attention on themselves. In the order of useless fucks that should have been taken care of in the third trimester via a hanger it goes:

1.) Heide and Spencer Pratt
2.) Sarah Palin
3.) People who fucking post their political opinions on a GOSSIP page. Who the fuck cares what you think? Posting about politics online is more useless than sticking your own finger in your ass.

@#blahblahblah: Here's what I think about your opinion: You are dumb and shilling for the (insert political party here). Your wrong, I'm right. LALALALALALALALALA...yeah, get a fucking life and shut the fuck up, You know what's on this site? Titties, bikinis and gay dudes that women love. That's it, no one comes here for deep political discourse. Go masturbate to bikini pics or that Robert Pattinson douche and shut the fuck up.

Is that Dave's new wife in the picture behind him? Yikes!

@80. mandi - June 16, 2009 3:09 PM--"we're not intolerant of the intolerable, we are intolerant of INTOLERANCE and that is a good thing. it means less hate generally."

Really?

Then tell Natasha, who was posting in this thread, to stop throwing around the cunt word to disparage someone who's "against" women's rights. Because the last I checked, cunt is a pretty harsh word to use and isn't exactly "anti-misogyny."

@112 I use the term "we" loosely. Obviously I can't speak for everyone.

sorry i meant @122 not 112. whoops.

@117 "#97 So are you saying the left is intolerant to the rights of a third trimester baby but not to a murder? You didn't explain why the left if concerned about preserving the life of a killer, but is okay with killing babies. I'm just sayin'"

I wasn't actually trying to get into a discussion about abortion here. You said the left is hypocritical because we are pro-choice but also anti-death penalty. I was arguing that the right is just as hypocritical believing that murder is wrong... so let's punish it with murder. Right or wrong... everyone is hypocritical at some point with something they believe. It's called being human.

How can anyone believe the joke was about the 14 year old girl? No one's ever heard of her; Bristol is the famous one. A comedian's job is to tell jokes people will find funny. No one's going to care about the girl no one's heard about. It wouldn't be funny. Obviously the joke was about Bristol, cause the knocking-up thing has happened to her before. I know I never would have heard Willow's name if Sarah Palin hadn't made a big deal about it--she confirmed which daughter was at the game. The public never would have made the jump to anyone but Bristol without her.

HAHAHA!!! Pussy!

"AMERICANS CAN RUN BUT THEY CAN'T HIDE"!!

I lost some respect for Dave on this one. A comedian is not obligated to ever apoologize for a joke that isnt outside the lines of social acceptance. Just because Palin doesnt like it, doesnt mean she can complain and get an apology. If shen didnt want that slut of a teenage daughter in the media, she should have not pimped her out in the campaign and lied about her ghetttign amrried to the sorry ass redneck. She trotted them out on stage at the convention like they were models of American values. What would happen every politician cried about jokes on their families? HOw many jokes have the Kennedys taken over the years? Have they ever cried about it? Yet another reason I wish this bitch would just go away.

After all it's good she didn't become president.She would have made us apologize all the time by wrong interpretations.

1) It makes me sad that liberals feel Ms. Palin and her children DESERVE this kind of treatment. They feel she deserves it because she is a conservative, therefore she is evil and deserves to be attacked. This is so sad.
2) Don't forget in addition to the awful comment about her daughter, Letterman referred to Ms. Palin as "slutty". That's just so classless, I can't even believe it. And you libs.. don't tell me for a MOMENT you would tolerate someone with a national audience calling Michelle Obama slutty.
3) The reason she is "still in the spotlight": ummmm, let's see... how about Mr. Letterman devoted a segment of his show to her!!! She's in the spotlight because he put her there! If she's not that important, why do libs keep bringing her up?
4) Folks in these comments who are defending Mr. Letterman, treating Ms. Palin and her children like this, and who are defending abortion are disguisting. Fish, I won't be on your website anymore.

What the fuck is he wearing on his feet?

Palin's point is well taken, but only so far. David's joke crossed the line and he sincerely apologized. Meanwhile, Bill O'Riley repeated called for someone to murder an abortion doctor and it happened, in a church no less. Whose speech is more inflammatory and dangerous?

Sorry, but I see loss of life as a more significant concern than a drop in self-esteem.

I thought the republicans wanted to be more inclusive and especially reach out to younger votes?

Being a humorless, reactionary tight-ass doesn't accomplish this in my view.

And, as a 15 year old New Mexican girl, I can say with a measure of confidence that I'd feel pretty safe around David Letterman with no fear of him attempring to rape me.

Todd Palin, less so.

Letterman's a left-wing dick. If he made that crack about my daughter, 14 or 18, I'd kick his ass. Something you libs don't get cuz you're all fucking your underage daughters.

@mr.t

yeah i'm fucking an underage daughter---yours!

how's that for a low blow?

The Palin's are The Simpson's
Their daughter is a porn star, or should be
Homer would have preferred that wacked, redneck piece of shit who fucked his daughter pregnant STAY with her, marry her, and continue to rod his little darling forever more, all because of a rather everyday teenage indescretion - - nice dad
As for Marge, is this chick out of an old Stephen King novel? - evil incarnate masquerading as homespun hockey mom, with presidential delusions just wonky enough to convince her countrymen she's on their side, when it's so fucking obvious to anyone who's read a book, even Stephen King's, that she's a vacuous, selfish, pandering, yuppie wannabe, nasty piece of trash ----
Note to right wing apologist nutbars - The way this spectacle with "he who hasn't been funny in decades" has been played out should put to rest any liberal media bias against your girl - - - during election, reporter should have asked the good Governor, when she stated that she read "the same newspapers as everyone else, you know.. The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, L.A Times", "Oh yes, and who do you enjoy reading - could you tell us which columnists, or writers whose opinions you find compelling, you know, just one, or two..?"
Everyone in the fucking world knew she was bullshitting, she doesn't read ANY of those fucking papers, and she should have been called on it - but the mainstream press is just like Letterman - Scared Little Pussies.

@TSW: you're such a douche. I enjoy snarky comments about narcissistic celebrities but find the endless rantings of left-wing wackos (such as yourself) so very tiresome. So tiresome, indeed.

i love how everyone just rags on Sarah Palin's ass and her family when they didn't even do anything except attend a Yankee Game. However, when David Letterman acts like act like an obnoxious chauvinistic pervert its ok!

Plain and Simple: Don't throw a low blow to peoples children. It's just unfair and wrong. Say what you want about the person, but leave their kids out of it. If it was Obama's daughters the statement was about the country would be in a giant fit. these comedians need to know when to shut the hell up.
