Really, this it the sort of "I'm so offended on behalf of 3 billion people" talk that you expect from soft-wit libs.
Republicans are supposed to be the party of shrewd badasses. if someone "offended" reagan, he'd respond with a glib one-liner and totally own the person, and get back to his job.
This is now day 3 of the "Palin is offended" campaign. First she had right-wing radio hosts speak for her. Then it was her hubby talking about how letterman doesn't speak for mainstream america. Now it's palin herself, crying about how all women are owed an apology. Oh brother.
Man up. If you want to run a country, you can't be continually involved with tic-tac drama with Couric, Levi, and now letterman. Perhaps she's prepared to run the Department of Hurt Feelings, but when Putin or Ahmedijahad or Chavez delivers tough talk about the USA, will miss palin be talking about how "offended she is on behalf of all americans?"

The guy said her daughter ought to be raped....gimme afucking break. If somebody said that about the Obama kids..holy christ.

One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game came during the seventh inning ... Her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.
Ok not rape...unless the daughter who was with Palin was 14. Again had this been made about any left wing morons daughter, the world would be burning.
-

He said nothing of the like. When you first heard the joke, I find it hard to believe you didn't immediately assume he was talking about the eldest daughter, who is 18 and an unwed mother.
The joke was in poor taste, but to twist it into an advocation of rape is just stupid. Of course, we are talking about Sarah Palin, so...

please show the quote...
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/comments_blog/2009/06/did-letterman-go-too-far-with-willow-palin-joke.html
However, Monday's show has drawn criticism from both sides of the aisle for a joke made about Sarah Palin's 14-year-old daughter, Willow. During his opening monologue, Letterman poked fun at Sarah and Willow's recent weekend outing to a Yankees game, joking that, "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."
That's stat rape.
Since Willow is only 14.
-
Oh I don't no dude, her 14 year old daughter was with her and he said it. Liberal hypocrisy at its best.....as usual, defending the indefensible.
-
taking this joke and pretending it was about rape and then feigning outrage is classic Republican and right wing tactic. The problem is that many people will never hear the joke and only hear the right wing outrage and think it was about rape. This works very effectively on the less than savvy right wing audience which is why they do it.

it was in poor taste. But it wasn't as HH6 said, "The guy said her daughter ought to be raped"
letterman apologized. Palin suddenly is on Today with her "I'm offended tour" suddenly. Palin is right to be offended, but she's not acting like a hard-ass republican. She's acting like a whiny lib.
Really, would you expect Reagan to go on the talk show circuit crying about how offended he is?
-
Are u fucking kidding me.....Imus lost a job for a joke like this. Miss California lost her crown for standing up for her own beliefs, Jesse and Al have made a fortune on shit like this. Nice try Lib.

Having sex with a 14 y/o is statutory rape. Sorry for the minor detail.

Its Palin's daughter...leftists gets away with shit like this all the time. We have to suck it up, while they are allowed to be outraged, call for peoples jobs, sued etc....douchbaggery 24/7.

Palin should go on thhe show, look at letterman right in the eye and put him and all the fag liberal "men" right in their place.

palin has a right to be offended, and react any way she wants.
As an american, I"m just hoping we get someone a little tougher to run for the Repub nod in 2012. I don't want my president running "Oh dear, I'm so offended!" campaigns.
-
of course Letterman was referring to the unwed mother Bristol and not the kid Willow (I didn't even know her name until today). Just an honest mistake but neverless a chance for Palin to keep herself in the media for another day or two.
right wingers crack me up. Shouldn't you go back to sreaming about socialism and how Obama is going to take your gun away?

Nonsense. Willow was the one at the ball game with Palin.

Why would you think this.
She has multiple children, you would think that a writers would have spent more than one second to check which child it was.
They either knew who it was and was making a more outrageous joke that got called, or they are bumbling idiots. Either way no one would have spoken about Obama's family like this.
How many Aunt or Grandma Obama jokes do you hear.
How many people are calling Michelle Obama names.
By the way I am not a conservative, I just think sexism is as big a problem as racism.

I would think this for 2 obvious reason.
Palin is on TV with her different kids all the time and I can't tell the daughter apart and didn't even know the name of the younger one.
I don't think Letterman would make a sex joke about a 14 year old kid. It makes more sense that the joke was about her 18 year old daughter who is the unwed mother. That would be in context.
Just an obvious and honest mistake and not really even a funny joke
-
The guy said her daughter ought to be raped....gimme afucking break. If somebody said that about the Obama kids..holy christ.
Nice distortion fuck face... He said his "daughter would be knocked up by A-Rod" Since her 18 year old daughter is ALWAYS with her, and is the same height as the 14 year old daughter... and her 18 year old daughter got knocked up as a minor... Palin trying to flip this shit around to get some media...

Letterman doesn't write his own material.
They should have fact checked. Seeing that they had a photo of the daughter in New York and I am pretty sure they could find a photo of her family.
The biggest issue I have is that the joke was made in the first place.
These types of jokes were also used against Hillary to devastating effect.
If women complain they whiners and if they let it stand then they are viewed as weak.
No one would let racism like this stand.

To reiterate, the joke only makes sense if it's about the older daughter... who has a history of getting knocked up. From a factual standpoint, you could make the case that only the 14-year old was there, but that probably isn't something most people would have been aware of. Letterman doesn't really have a reputation for sexually controversial material.
If I told someone a story about "Sarah Palin's daughter", very few people would ask me to clarify which one I meant. Most people would automatically assume I was talking about the eldest, based on the one tidbit of information everyone knows about her... that she got knocked up.
-
Palin should go on thhe show, look at letterman right in the eye and put him and all the fag liberal "men" right in their place.
Palin isnt smart enough to put letterman in his place... letterman would PWN her on National TV... Expose the fact shes trying to get more media attention... Her other underage daughter got knocked up and it was OBVIOUS his joke writers thought it was Bristol and not Piper...

EXACTLY!
If anyone is owed an apology and should be offended about rape it is the victims in Alaska that Palin forces to pay for their own rape kit after they have been attacked.
Palin is an idiot and the entire so called "outrage" is only supported by idiots likewise.
Typical right wing bullshit tactics. What a joke this bitch is.

Busted in the Head is OWNED once again.
Willow, the 14 year old was at the game with Palin, not Bristol. Having sex with a 14 y/o is by definition Statutory Rape.
But dont details and facts get in your way fool.
-
Palin should go on thhe show, look at letterman right in the eye and put him and all the fag liberal "men" right in their place.
Problem is, she couldn't. Oh she could go on the show... but put anyone in their place? Please! We are talking about the idiot that got steamrolled by Katie. The most lightweight interviewer in the entire universe.
Last time Palin was on a late night show, she got pwned right to her face and just stood there grinning like a mule eating briars.

exactly - Letterman doesn't write his own stuff and probably even see a photo/video.
here's a pick of the Palin kids and I can easily see where the two older daughters could be mistaken especially if they were sitting down or you could only see the face.
so - what's more likely?
an honest mistake or an intentional joke about a 14 year old kid
-
Palin should go on thhe show, look at letterman right in the eye and put him and all the fag liberal "men" right in their place.
i would love to see palin on letterman.
palin knows better though.
-
Nice job defending the fact that his writers screwed up.
It was still an inappropriate joke that would not have been made about any other politician.
No matter how you guys try to spin it.
By the way how was it obvious seeing that her daughter Willow was in New York not Bristol.
They couldn't use google, or are they just a bunch of incompetent boobs that thought they could get away with an inappropriate joke.
Calling her names like "bitch" only shows that sexism is not only tolerated but accepted.
The outrage is about sexism you fool.
There are many women's groups that are on the left defending the Palin family.

Its irrelevent, Letterman screwed up, and then compounded his filfth with more filth.

Having sex with a 14 y/o is statutory rape. Sorry for the minor detail.
Not in all states. Sorry for the detail.

Little wonder why there are no Conservative comedians. They are just too babyish to be even remotely funny.
Don`t let any of these conservatives here discover someone like George Carlin, they will melt for years.

So now the joke is about the 14 year being stat raped.
Good job 2nd coming.
By the way true adonis.
The issue is that other politicians aren't treated the same way.
Racism wasn't tolerated against Obama, yet Sexism is tolerated against both Hillary and Palin.

NAILIN' PALIN PART II : The Next Generation :D
Dear Sarah Wailin (a.k.a Bible Spice),
Your 15 minutes are at the 14:59 mark now. If you can't take the heat, keep your ass in Alaska. Complaining about this after your 16 year old daughter got knocked up by a mullet wearing redneck is sort of like closing the barn doors after the horses have run away.
Never fear though your daughters have received the finest abstinence only sex education from Queen Snowbilly herself. No horny, single, muscular, multi-millionaire baseball star would stand a chance with any of your snow spawn offspring.
Perhaps when you apologize for your own offensive actions towards actual rape victims then Letterman will apologize to you.
Signed,
Mainstream America
-

Well its 17 in New York, sorry for the minor detail.

Ur not mainstream dude..ur a leftist shitbag. The above statement is about what we can expect from the liberal douchebags that inhabit the board.
-
i would love to see palin on letterman.
palin knows better though.
Palin attempting to match wits with Letterman is like Spinks taking on Tyson. Only difference is that Palin wouldn't last 91 seconds.
The only apology Dave should issue is one to slutty flight attendants for comparing them to her.
-
George carlins rant on environmentalists was very funny.
I like his last appearance with Keith Olbermann where he ruined the Republican Party and the Anti-Global Warming deniers. :)
-
If the Palins had any class they would have ignored the joke and no one would be talking about it.
Instead THEY put the image in the media of their 14 year old daughter being raped.
I wonder if the Palins are even aware of the concept of taking the high road

Boo-hoo. Republican outrage feign machine working overtime I see. The entire overblown indignation is nothing more than just proof of how Palin and her 3% supporters will try anything to grasp another few seconds of political exposure.
I loved Dave's non-apology. HAHA! The thing is Palin is so stupid that immediately after he said that she probably sent out a "PWNED!!1!1" Tweet to her 3% adoring fans thinking she actually scored something.
-
I don't even like Palin...that wasn't my point. If somebody said that about Barry's two cookie crunchers..omg u leftist shitbags would explode.

Obama has two cooking crunchers and are slutty.
Did the world explode yet? Is anyone angry that I said that?
-

the difference of course is that those two are clearly children and would never be mistaken (yet) for a 18 year old unwed mother/abstinence spokesperson
-
First off Letterman already went into great detail about how he didn't mean the 14 year old daughter. It was obvious to anyone listening this was the case to anyone with half a brain and some common sense.
Anyway Letterman was funny, bad taste sure but funny. He's been doing that for 30 plus years. I especially liked his apology because none of it was sincere except the twisting of the A-Rod comment. Other than that it gave him another opportunity to bring up the jokes again and own Palin and "Todd" all over again. If Palin was stupid enough to go on Letterman i'd expect her to be destroyed much the same way he does to all the pusedo celebrities like Paris Hilton, Spencer Pratt, Richard Simmons etc.

Global warming is a hyped up myth that Al Gore refuses to debate. There are many places this year that wont even have a summer!

U don't matter TA, thats the difference. Oh because Letterman apologized its ok. Oreilly apoligized as well but that didn't matter...LIBERAL HYPOCRISY!!!!
-
Global warming is a hyped up myth that Al Gore refuses to debate. There are many places this year that wont even have a summer!
Thats global warming to...its all global warming. I guess u didn't get the ALGORE memo where they changed the debate. Now they control both sides. If it cool..it warming..if its hot..its warming...if it snows to much..warming..to little..warming..to many hurricanes..u guessed it..warming.
-
The Scientific Ignorance here is astounding. :o
-
Go ahead....are u going to quote from that NASA idiot who's own people think is deranged. We read the science reports to TA, u don't have a monoply on all things global warming. Why's AL being very quiet as he tries to get legislation past. Maybe because if a light is shown on it..enough real scientists will gather in front of Congress and illustrate why Al's full of shit and stands to make millions if all this BS goes through.
-
It was obvious to anyone listening this was the case to anyone with half a brain and some common sense.
Anyone that is, except the "lipstick" crowd that loves to twist words around in an attempt of mock outrage.
All they accomplish however is being laughed at further.

Okay 333386 i can understand peoples hesitation to believe in global warming because they see hot and cold days still etc etc.
I'm not trying to convince you or bombard you with studies to show it is in fact happening. BUT i will ask you this. Do you honestly think it is a good thing to have coal buring into the air, to use all the oil reserves over time, to pollute water to the point where it will become undrinkable and unlivable for life, to use and continue to use CFC's and other atmosphere reducing chemicals, these are things which are undisputable. whether the earth is warming because of these things is not my point, my point is that you can't honestly think that we are helping anything by polluting the way we are do you?
-
Pollution is completely different and can be combated. And if u don't like coal..how about nuke plants.
-

I don't have a major issue with Nuclear plants. It is a cleaner burning fuel than coal it's issue is the disposal. I think provided there can be sufficent storage nuclear power is a great intermediate solution until science can come up with a more efficient way to harness the wind, sun, lighting, water etc etc.
Pollution is the cause of global warming though. This is the point. It can be combatted but whether the effects can be reversed are yet to be known. Lets say global warming doesn't happen as quickly as was first thought. How are we going to deal with the continued lack of clean water? Clean air and green spaces? These are the issues at hand and ones that people need to take more seriously. I don't care if you don't believe in global warming or not i just care that you can see the continued pollution of earth is not worth the short term benefit of money when there are other ways.
-
The Scientific Ignorance here is astounding. :o
Thats funny considering Al Gore wont even debate the founder of the weather channel.

If my choice is living in a tent, rolling energy blackouts, the govt monitoring my energy usage, rations, price controls, unreliabile tech, than I am fine with buring coal.

That's not your choice. Thats a very extreme view of things and rather ignorant considering no one said that is the only way. Like i said pollution is not the answer but cutting everything off isn't either. It's investing and finding alternative ways to both increase energy for a growing country (and world) and balance that with less pollution while maintaining a strong economy and energy sector.
When people start caring more about what the bottom line means to not only them but the planet and those around them, then we will start making progress. I truly hope Obama (and who ever is the next president) invest heavily in alternative means, allow tax breaks for companies that use American workers to get those technologies and utilize the American workforce which is desperate for work to achieve these things.

I agree with you to an extent, however I dont see the tech out there that can replace nucs or clean coal as an energy source.
Additionally, I dont think it is smart to hamstring our economy while China and India will NEVER adopt the same stringent policies we are seeking to impose on ourselves.
I have no problem with drilling, nuclear power, hydro, etc, and whatever will work that will not be an additional burden on people.

The tech isn't their because the investment and priority isn't there.
Who cares what China and India do. It won't hamstring the economy when America becomes the world leader in alternative energy and green resources and everyone wants and needs that tech to continue forward. America will then continue as the pinnacle of the economic world because they were the first the dump massive money and priority into this new effective way of doing things. Or continue on as is and watch as china and india pass you anyway because they have more man power and america is reduced to a once superpower now nuclear power like britain, france, russia.

Anyone remember when Obama got his panties in a bunch because someone attacked his wife?
Obama To Tenn. GOP: "Lay Off My Wife"
Democratic Candidate Fires Back At Online Video By State Party Targeting Remarks Made By Michelle Obama
Comments 1140
WASHINGTON, May 19, 2008
(AP)
Democrat Barack Obamahas a message for Tennessee's Republican Party: "Lay off my wife."
Obama, his party's presidential front-runner, and his wife, Michelle, were asked in an interview aired Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America" about an online video last week by the state's GOP taking her to task for a comment some considered unpatriotic.
"The GOP, should I be the nominee, can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record," Obama said. "If they think that they're going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful because that I find unacceptable, the notion that you start attacking my wife or my family."
He called the strategy "low class."
The video, posted on YouTube, centered on remarks Michelle Obama made while campaigning in Wisconsin last February, when she said: "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country."
The four-minute video replayed the remark six times, interspersing it with commentary by Tennesseans on why they are proud of America. In a news release that included a link to the video, Tennessee's GOP said "the Tennessee Republican Party has always been proud of America." It urged radio stations to play "patriotic music" during Michelle Obama's visit to Nashville last Thursday.
Michelle Obama later clarified the remark, saying she meant she was proud of how Americans were engaging in the political process and that she had always been proud of her country.
"Whoever is in charge of the Tennessee GOP needs to think long and hard about the kind of campaign they want to run, and I think that's true for everybody, Democrat or Republican," Obama said in the ABC interview, adding: "These folks should lay off my wife."
Obama said his wife "loves this country. For them to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her is, I think, just low class. I think that most of the American people would think that as well."
Tennessee's Republican Party was roundly criticized in March, including by likely presidential nominee John McCain, for a news release that used Barack Obama's middle name — Hussein — and showed a photo of him wearing what it said was "Muslim attire."
The release ultimately was removed from the party's Web site at the urging of the state's two Republican senators and Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan, who said he "rejects these kinds of campaign tactics."

Oh I know mons..ur right nothing would be said.

Palin is crazy (big suprise) making an issue of this.
most rational people will realize this was an honest mistake and Palin will come off looking dumb and disingenuous (big suprise) for pretending that Lettermans intention was to suggest the rape of her daughter.
In fact, the only one who made that suggestion was the Palins themselves
I'd expect a real leader to take the high road and not actual create controversy where none exists

Obama To Tenn. GOP: "Lay Off My Wife"
Democratic Candidate Fires Back At Online Video By State Party Targeting Remarks Made By Michelle Obama
Comments 1140
WASHINGTON, May 19, 2008
(AP)
Democrat Barack Obamahas a message for Tennessee's Republican Party: "Lay off my wife."
Obama, his party's presidential front-runner, and his wife, Michelle, were asked in an interview aired Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America" about an online video last week by the state's GOP taking her to task for a comment some considered unpatriotic.
"The GOP, should I be the nominee, can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record," Obama said. "If they think that they're going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful because that I find unacceptable, the notion that you start attacking my wife or my family."
He called the strategy "low class."
The video, posted on YouTube, centered on remarks Michelle Obama made while campaigning in Wisconsin last February, when she said: "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country."
The four-minute video replayed the remark six times, interspersing it with commentary by Tennesseans on why they are proud of America. In a news release that included a link to the video, Tennessee's GOP said "the Tennessee Republican Party has always been proud of America." It urged radio stations to play "patriotic music" during Michelle Obama's visit to Nashville last Thursday.
Michelle Obama later clarified the remark, saying she meant she was proud of how Americans were engaging in the political process and that she had always been proud of her country.
"Whoever is in charge of the Tennessee GOP needs to think long and hard about the kind of campaign they want to run, and I think that's true for everybody, Democrat or Republican," Obama said in the ABC interview, adding: "These folks should lay off my wife."
Obama said his wife "loves this country. For them to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her is, I think, just low class. I think that most of the American people would think that as well."

Remember when Obama told everyone to lay off Bristol Palin and said ENOUGH! Then going on to explain how his own mother was an unwed teenager when she had him and that families are off limits.

Nope. But if he said it, that was a good thing. Kids of politicians should be off limits.
Even if Letterman was talking about Palin's older daughter, it was still in poor taste.
-
She should go on the show and face down letterman, face to face. She would gain major respect for having balls.
you know she probably should because Letterman would probably treat her with kid gloves but now that she called him a pervert and her husband has suggested that he has to keep his daugher away from him I think any goodwill from Letterman is probably gone.
the other problem is that Letterman would probably get her to acknowledge that his comment was not about raping her 14 year old daughter and that would make her look like even more of a dingbat media whore.
-
The guy said her daughter ought to be raped....gimme afucking break. If somebody said that about the Obama kids..holy christ.
Palin has a daughter? you mean IT bred?? palin needs to be spayed asap

Obama: "People's Families are Off Limits"
(CBS)
From CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic:
(MONROE, MICH.) - When asked to respond to Sarah Palin’s announcement today that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, Barack Obama sternly said the story is irrelevant to the presidential campaign.
“I think peoples families are off limits and people's children are especially off limits.”
Obama addressed the press after he attended a Labor Day picnic here. Although he intended to give a statement on Hurricane Gustav, Obama was quickly asked about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy.
“My mother had me when she was 18 years old,” Obama said, adding that families should deal with these issues privately. “That shouldn’t be the topic of our politics, and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that’s off limits.”
Obama said he was offended by comments from a McCain advisor suggesting that his campaign may have been spreading rumors about Palin on the internet.
“Our people were not involved in any way in this and the will not be. And if I ever thought that it was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that, they’d be fired.”
-
Thats fine, but we are not doing that because we are broke and there is nothing left as it is.
I wouldn't say America is broke. In debt yes but not broke. There is the man power available for producing these things it's a matter of making it happen. That's all it is. I can't never got anyone anywhere.

David Letterman Responds To Palin Jokes Uproar
:D
-
michelle obama put herself out there by making that speech, so that criticism was more than fair.
palin's older kid put herself out there as well, doing the abstinence tour, etc. however, letterman was mistaken and thought she was the one at the game. he apologized.
Palin can't accept the apology (and the win) here.
She's probably going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by letting us hear about how offended she is on the news cycles for 2 weeks.
This reminds me of the August 2008 polls. Palin was a star and mccain was up a few points everywhere. He was gonna win the thing. Then, she started talking. Every time she did an interview, her approval rating dropped, and so did mccin's lead.
she reminds me of biden. would do much better with things by simply taking the win and zipping the lip. Doing a 2 week victory lap on the morning talk shows about how offended she was about a joke he already apologized for... that'll turn people off.
-
Now I'm a conservative, but letterman isn't in the wrong here.
it was a joke about palin's oldest daughter, any idiot can see that. One of the writers just saw the headline that Palin and daughter visit yankee game or whatever and the writer just didn't indulge in the matter much further. They have to come up with new material every day so it's not like they can check everything they say. I don't think its much of a stretch to say that Palin is using this just as a chance to still stay relevant. Palin is the one thats spreading the idea of someone raping her 14 year old daughter, because letterman said nothing of the kind. Instead of letting it go hoping no one would notice, she's bringing tons of attention to it. I didn't even know that palin had 2 daughters. Letterman didn't even know bristol's name on the show, so i doubt he knew of the other daughter either.
I watch letterman every night and I didn't find the joke particularly harsh or anything. I mean its just a typical joke he does. I don't see why people are putting "right wing, left wing" spins on this. It's his job to take stabs at people, he's been doing it for 30+ years. It's late night, what do you expect? Palin put her whole family on the platform for people to take shots at when she decided to run as VP and she was aware of this. She can't expect to be immune from late-night jokes and she knows the same applies to her family. That's the media for you.
With that being said, I would love for her to go on letterman. Letterman would own her. You think Palin would learn from McCain's mistake. Don't make letterman mad.
-
U don't matter TA, thats the difference. Oh because Letterman apologized its ok. Oreilly apoligized as well but that didn't matter...LIBERAL HYPOCRISY!!!!
Do you actually perceive the ramifications of either commentary as equivalent? :-\ ::)
Letterman: People laughing at an obviously fictitious scenario that spotlights a politician's fuzzy thinking
vs.
O'Reilly: A law abiding citizen being gunned down in cold blood in a violent premeditated murder.
Seriously, ...let's get a little perspective and use some common sense shall we?
One would like to think that as a military man, you would know how to pick your battles,
...but I guess you just put the punctuation on Straw's sig line by not thinking, but simply following orders. :-\
-
Go ahead....are u going to quote from that NASA idiot who's own people think is deranged. We read the science reports to TA, u don't have a monoply on all things global warming. Why's AL being very quiet as he tries to get legislation past. Maybe because if a light is shown on it..enough real scientists will gather in front of Congress and illustrate why Al's full of shit and stands to make millions if all this BS goes through.
{lol} Just because you can read them, ...doesn't mean you can understand them. :P
And the official term is Global Climate Change.
There are forces in this world that are bigger than us.
We can scream about them, protest them, denounce them as much as we want, ...but we will not change them.
We can scream about the coming storm, ...or we can learn to dance in the rain.
I don't dispute the possibility that Al Gore is positioned to profit as countries & people all over the planet respond to the challenge that addressing climate change poses, ...but that doesn't make his position on the matter deceptive in any way, and it certainly doesn't make it BS. Quite the contrary, it illustrates strong support for the notion his beliefs vis-a-vis climate change are sincere.
If you were convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that the patriots were going to win the superbowl,
...you would bet on them wouldn't you? Would telling people of your beliefs, and sharing compelling evidence illustrating why you believe what you do, make you a BS artist simply because you had positioned yourself to profit if they did win the Superbowl? Is that sufficient reason for people to dismiss you as a BS'er?

Ahh, good ol' Palin reinserts herself back into the spotlight. Just when she was starting to fade away. ::)
-
Remember when Obama told everyone to lay off Bristol Palin and said ENOUGH! Then going on to explain how his own mother was an unwed teenager when she had him and that families are off limits.
Obama's mother was not an unwed teenager when she gave birth to him.
She went on to be a single mother, ...but she was not unwed.
-
exactly - Letterman doesn't write his own stuff and probably even see a photo/video.
here's a pick of the Palin kids and I can easily see where the two older daughters could be mistaken especially if they were sitting down onr your could only see the face.
so - what's more likely?
an honest mistake or an intentional joke about a 14 year old kid
Corrected - you sick bastard...
-
Ahh, good ol' Palin reinserts herself back into the spotlight. Just when she was starting to fade away. ::)
did letterman respond tonight?
If so, Palin will be back on FOX news on Monday "further explaining how offended she is".
oh brother. STFU and focus on your state's shitty economy. Honestly, Alaska woke up with high unemployment today to learn their Governor was spending her day on NBC crying about a fvcking comic, after what was invariably two days of prep for it.
But hey, she's now an advocate for "women offended by bad jokes". I am sure these kinda skills are what is needed for the NKorea mess right now. Maybe in 2013, as President, she'll go on TODAY and complain to matt lauer how offended she is that Kim Jung Il Jr is firing missiles at us, huh?
-
In looking at the photos I can't tell which is which.

Little wonder why there are no Conservative comedians. They are just too babyish to be even remotely funny.
Don`t let any of these conservatives here discover someone like George Carlin, they will melt for years.
How about Limbaugh?

How about Limbaugh?
Funny.. Yes, but not a comedian.
His humor is unintentional buffoonery.
-
Letterman can be very funny.
Palin adds nothing but misery and ignorance to our landscape.
Screw all you old ladies and limp noodles that try to make Letterman an advocate of rape.
You are the problem.
He adds something to the mix.
Palin and her ilk diminish us all in disgrace.
I'll take the funny any day of the week.
-
satuday, she called letterman's response 'weak'.
She can't just take the win. She has to keep going back and forth. This is what, her 4th public response to letterman? at some point this turns into a Rosie/Trump debate, and she actually legitimizes his position by debating him repeatedly.
yes, really. It's like the NASA scientist who argues with a homeless man on the corner about UFOs. After about 2 hours of listening to them debate, you're probably starting to see some of the homeless guy's points. Instead of the NASA guy taking the win in 30 seconds with "There is no proof", he stays in the corner just cause he likes to debate. Over time, people start to doubt his credibility on it.
People are going to see the 7th and 8th Palin response to Letterman and say "Sure, maybe letterman got the kid wrong, but the whole 'getting knocked up' thing... he mighta been right on that one..."
palin, stop talking. take the win, letterman looks like shit. But every day you remind us how evil he is, he receives some "get over it alreadY' pity and you look like a whiner without the balls to handle Putin, iran and friends.
-
Really, this it the sort of "I'm so offended on behalf of 3 billion people" talk that you expect from soft-wit libs.
Republicans are supposed to be the party of shrewd badasses. if someone "offended" reagan, he'd respond with a glib one-liner and totally own the person, and get back to his job.
This is now day 3 of the "Palin is offended" campaign. First she had right-wing radio hosts speak for her. Then it was her hubby talking about how letterman doesn't speak for mainstream america. Now it's palin herself, crying about how all women are owed an apology. Oh brother.
Man up. If you want to run a country, you can't be continually involved with tic-tac drama with Couric, Levi, and now letterman. Perhaps she's prepared to run the Department of Hurt Feelings, but when Putin or Ahmedijahad or Chavez delivers tough talk about the USA, will miss palin be talking about how "offended she is on behalf of all americans?"
Yes but he attacked her daughter not her. Attacking someones kids is a low blow.

QFT! It looks like she's desperately trying to stay in the limelight. When the Palins rebuffed Letterman's invitation to be on the show, after turning it down, they added... "besides, we want to keep our 14 yr old daughter far away from Mr. Letterman." It appears as if she's hoping to wring as much publicity out of it as possible. And it comes across as rather opportunistic, if not hypocritical. She didn't seem to take much offense when Jay Leno made a similar crack about her then pregnant 17 year old.
Gov. Palin announced over the weekend that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant.
And you thought John Edwards was in trouble before! Now he has really done it.

60% of people who exited polls (but a FOX/Edison moffit poll) said Ms Palin was not even qualified to be VP.
I think that may have influenced things just a bit ;)
Also he suspended his campaign to push every debate back one week and reschedule the VP debate (date to be announced, which meant never). This little side effect was noticed by much as a real shaky move.
-
Very interesting!
Also stat rape. Where is teh outrage?
well there it is folks. i guess this sets precedent. rape jokes about political candidates children are now fair game? how are you guys seriously arguing that this is OK? i mean talk about ideologies clouding the mind. this thread should be in a textbook somewhere.
-

Wrong. McCain lost because the independents and moderates fled his side after he brought on Palin. She killed the election for him right away.
-

That's exactly what happened. The only people who stuck with McCain after that, were those who made more than 250K and were worried about having to pay more in taxes under Obama.
-
It was some combination of the economy tanking, mccain's 'senior moments', Palin doing terrible on Couric, palin avoiding daily media interviews like all other VP candidates do, and other reasons as well.
It'd be silly to say "the ONLY reason..."
Mccain made a lot of mistakes, and Palin simply isn't presidential material. The nation was ready for a change, and 1992 told us what was gonna happen (end of war, recession, the war hero gets toppled by an unknown lib).

Good for him. The right thing to do.
David Letterman apologizes to Palins over 'coarse joke'
Posted: 08:54 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNN) – David Letterman delivered another, more repentant apology for the off-color joke he made last week about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's daughter.
"It was kind of a coarse joke. There's no getting around it," Letterman said in the opening monologue of Monday night's show.
Letterman, who joked last Tuesday that Palin's "daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez" at a recent Yankees game, still insisted he was referring to Palin's 18-year-old, Bristol, who gave birth to a boy in December, and not her 14-year-old, Willow.
Related video: Letterman's joke was 'perverted,' says Palin
Palin has called that a "weak, convenient excuse" for a joke that was"inappropriate" no matter which daughter was the target.
"My 14-year-old was there with me at the game. She was the only one there with me," Palin said.
Letterman said Monday night that he now realizes, "It doesn't make any difference what my intent was, it's the perception."
"As they say about jokes, if you have to explain the joke, it's not a very good joke," he said. "I take full blame for that."
"I told a bad joke. I told a joke that was beyond flawed," he said.
"So, I would like to apologize, especially to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke," Letterman said. "I'm sorry about it and I'll try to do better in the future.
The controversy comes at a time the late-night ratings battle between the "Late Show with David Letterman" on CBS and NBC's "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" is in the spotlight.
Letterman has gained ground in the two weeks since O'Brien took over hosting duties from Jay Leno.

I doubt this had anything to do with Palin, ...I strongly suspect it was all the slutty flight attendants. :P
National Association of Slutty Flight Attendants March in NYC
Alaska governor Sarah Palin received a resounding vote of support today in her war of words with David Letterman as thousands of slutty flight attendants marched on Mr. Letterman's TV studio in New York.
The protest march, organized by the National Association of Slutty Flight Attendants, attracted as many as twenty thousand slutty marchers, according to NYPD estimates.
"Say it loud, we're slutty and proud!" chanted the protesters, who lined the sidewalks in front of Mr. Letterman's studio to show their support for the Alaska governor.
Kendra Kalounis, the executive director of the slutty flight attendants' group, said she had canceled a tanning appointment to attend the march and added that slutty flight attendants were a political force to be reckoned with.
"Do you know the difference between a regular flight attendant and a slutty one?" she said. "Lipstick."
Personally, I think they were objecting to even being compared to Palin. That was plain mean & cruel. ;D
-
repubs, please, run a reagan/clint eastwood-esque candidate in 2012. A real badass.
-
I can't believe Letterman apologized again
even in his apology he had to point out yet again what we all know which is that he was referring to Bristol (the only Palin daughter most of us even know).
Now it must be imperative that Jay Leno apologize since his joke was actually about Bristol and she was under 18 at the time.
I hope Sarah Palin will be consistent in her outrage and do nothing else in her life until she extracts the appropriate apology from Leno.
WTF is wrong with this country?
-
Letterman should be making MORE jokes every night about the Palin brood
that should be his only topic on every monologue
-
WTF is wrong with this country?
Something happened to republicans. They sat and lsitened to hannity, rush, and oreilly WHINE for the last 8 years. Suddenly they WHINE. They feign offense, and htink they'll get votes because 'the other people were inappropriate".
it was inappropriate to invade iraq. it was inappropriate to borrow 5 trillion bucks. This was just a bad joke/misunderstanding. He apologized three times now.
Repubs, seriously, toughen up. Brush this shit off your shoulder. palin had a national audience on TODAY. She should have said "Apology accepted, Mr Letterman" and then spent the next 8 minutes talking about her SOLUTIONS to our country's problems. Wouldn't that have been a cavalier, bad-ass way of handling the situation? She has a nation who loves to watch her on TV... and she doesn't use that time to really facilitate some cool change.
Instead, she gets on TV and whines. Bummer. She could have used that platform in a more useful manner.

If Palin were shrwed she would say the following:
"I accept the apology and agree that this matter should be dropped. I think we all need to focus on the bigger issues of the day, most importantly, the reckless fiscal policies of the President who is pursuing the same policies of George Bush, but three times worse."
In this way, she can keep her head high, accept her victory, keep her name in the news, and start on the attack of the real problem - Spendthrift Obama.

Haven't you figured out yet that Palin is a moron.
If she had any brain or class she would have laughed off the joke and said something like she doesn't concern herself with jokes by late night talk show hosts.
Instead she chose to put the image in the public domain of her 14 year old kid being raped and said it repeatedly. I wonder who's comments (Letterman or Palins) was more embarressing to the kid.
Anyone with half a brain knows that the joke only makes sense in the context of the "unwed teenage mother/abstinence advocate" Bristol Palin
How many more times do we need proof that Palin is a opportunistic idiot who cares more about keeping her face in the media for another day than she does about her own kids?

I dont disagree and I think that the 1000% laser focus needs to be the reckless fiscal policies of Obama/Geitner in printing trillions of dollars of worthless money and the hyperinflation that is going to make the 70's look like ap icnic. .

Palin is a moron but Joe Biden is a fucking brilliant deep thinker.Letterman would NEVER make a joke about those two little rats of Obamas but he has no problem insulting Palins kids.The fucking idiot said "I wasnt talking about the 14 year old".Who was at the game?The 14 year old.He fucked up,got caught out there and now hes loosing advertisers.Welcome to the world of Don Imus.Now that the left sees what its like,perhaps they wont cry like little bitches when someone offends them.Maybe now they may learn to not try and get people fired EVERYTIME they say something that the left percieves as offensive.

"I accept the apology and agree that this matter should be dropped. I think we all need to focus on the bigger issues of the day, most importantly, the reckless fiscal policies of the President who is pursuing the same policies of George Bush, but three times worse."
In this way, she can keep her head high, accept her victory, keep her name in the news, and start on the attack of the real problem - Spendthrift Obama.
we're on the same page here. She'd have 8 minutes on TODAY to deliver a passionate speech, speak to every single broke/unemployed american, speak to those moderates in the MIDDLE that her party needs so bad.
instead, it was 8 minutes of "Oh, you take that any way you want, Matt Lauer. Maybe my daughter would be dangerous, and letterman wouldn't want that! hehehehe you betcha". It was a few minutes of her hinting that letterman isn't to be trusted around young girls. I know this petty immature stuff makes her feel better, but really, 310 million americans care more about their 401k and electric bill than some bad joke the dude had already apologized for.
But she's not shrewd.

As flawed as she is, I would still trust her over ZERO any day of the week.

You know whats hysterical, you call yourself "lurkernomore" yet you lurk over every gay/palin/MSNBC thread, yet you are completely silent on every story coming out how zero is no different than Bush in almost every way imaginable.

No, actually what is really hysterical is watching you try to disintegrate thread after thread with off topic discussions because you simply can't contribute to the topic at hand without getting thrown under the bus by your own delusions and statements.
Hypocrisy at it's finest unless of course you can provide links to things you wrote bashing Bush during his terms for the same things you are crying for over Obama now.
-
This bitch is still in the news. She needs to STFU. How many times does Letterman have to apologize until this twat is satisfied? Oh wait, she's a media whore. I'm sure we'll be hearing about this until 2010. ::)

She won't be happy until Letterman buys ad space on the First Duds snowmobile. Because joking about statutory rape is really serious, even more serious than say... Levi committing it in Palin's own home. ZOMG!
Some people have remarked that there is no proof that ANY daughter of hers was at the game. No photos, nothing. If that is the case, she has some explaining to do. Unless of course she really did fly the girl there on the Alaska taxpayers dime. Could be the Lipstick-On-A-Pig Panic scam rehashed for more attention.

Let that little kike keep appologising just like you fucking girls made Imus appologise over and over and his statement was miles less offensive then jew boy lettermans.Im so happy to see you pussies see what its like when one of your is called on the carpet.I didnt hear one of you gutless cowards ever complain when black ass Sharpton got Imus fired,or Al Campanis,or Jimmy the Greek,or Trent Lott.Now one of yours is fucked and you cry like little bitches.How does the shoe fel now that its on the other foot?If only we could get someone to call out that little racist Wright or his bitch Obama for pulling the same shit.

Palin accepts apology but says time for change
Posted: 11:39 AM ET
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is accepting comedian David Letterman's apology over the controversial joke directed at her daughter, but says she hopes "men who 'joke' about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve."
"Letterman certainly has the right to 'joke' about whatever he wants to, and thankfully we have the right to express our reaction," Palin said in a statement. "And this is all thanks to our U.S. Military women and men putting their lives on the line for us to secure America's Right to Free Speech – in this case, may that right be used to promote equality and respect."
Palin's comments come hours after the late night talk show host formally apologized for the off-color joke he made last week about one of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's daughters that set off a war of words between the Letterman and the Palin family.
"It was kind of a coarse joke. There's no getting around it," Letterman said in the opening monologue of Monday night's show.
Meanwhile John Ziegler, the conservative radio talk show host who has made a film about Palin, is set to lead a protest Tuesday outside the theater where Letterman's show is taped. Ziegler is calling for the late night host’s ouster.

Wow,yet you were dead silent when the lefts version of the morality police went after Imus.I guess its ok as long as your a minority or liberal.

Do you know he was silent?
Many supported Imus wholeheartedly. He has done better since then as well... He's better off.
The crazy left who made Imus a big deal are certainly shown to be the fools... Imus got a whole new set of people to support him with that mess.
-
imus had a history of saying some racially inappropriate stuff.
letterman got the daughter wrong.
Bristol is fair game for jokes on letterman - she is an adult who is doing speeches and appearances on behalf of a pro-abstinence organization. She is in the political arena as her own person, doing larry king, etc.
Had he made the joke and it had been Bristol at that game, it wouldn't be this shitstorm.

The point is this.People killed Imus in the media ESPECIALLY on MSNBC.People killed Al Campanis,killed Jimmy the Greek,killed Trent Lott.Now,when its a lib doing the offending,the very people who jumped all over the others are blaming the victim.They are giving letterman a pass.When midd .California was attacked by that little homo the left blamed her.This is the way the left always works.They attack,attack and attack,then,when they are attacked they are outraged that anyone dares questions them.
If a late night host had made the same joke about Michelle Obama,their career would have been over.Your not allowed to make jokes about the libs,especially minorities.

Inapropriate to whom?Al Sharpton?The guy that made up a rape case and destroyed lives years aGO?The guy who called the ancient greeks "greek homos".Offensive to whom?Jesse Jackson,he of Hymietown fame or the guy that admits to spitting into white peoples food?Offensive to Robert Byrdd,the former recruiter for the klan?
The problem is whites have allowed a buch of racist fools to determine whats offensive.Imus is a shock jock.He is the inventor of that genre.Its his job to offend.Compare his treatment to Jacksons,or Sharptons or Robert Reich.
-

Imus and Lott said some seriously racist shit.
Letterman meant to say the ADULT spokesman for an abstinance organization was getting knocked up (again).
He got it wrong. The intent for 14 year old stat rape was not there. With Imus and Lott, they just plain ol said some terrible stuff about african-americans.
-
Inapropriate to whom?Al Sharpton?
Imus had a history of saying mean spirited racist shit, nobody denied that.
Letterman made a joke about the adult spokesman for an abstinence firm who quit school and got preggers.
You say mean racist shit all the time about Obama... I wouldn't expect you to see the difference

Letterman that little filthy jew bastard made the joke about the daughter that was at the game!!That daughter was a 14 year old girl.Now,I think Michelle Obama looks like a pre op tranny,complete with lantern jaw and package.I hope you dont take offense to that as its just a joke.

Yes,I know,using racial slurs is terrible.Lets see,your leader and god sat in a church listening to that same type of language yet you think hes a god.So,its bad for me to say anti-semetic things,but its ok when "dem jews" keep little rev. Wright from Obama.Or Reich says "no whites should get the jobs created by the stimulous" or dropping charges against black panthers as they hang out at voting places and scream "now you will know what its like to be ruled by the black man cracker" while holding weapons.Yes sir,there is something wrong with me,but those guys are doimng just fine.Your a fool.

See, that's some seriously offensive shit to write, dude. Not cool at all.

The sad this is that we haven't heard the last of this. Snowbilly Barbie will try to suck the marrow out of this diseased carcass of a story in any way she can for the next 8 months. Quite possibly for 3.5 years until her (*snicker*) "campaign" starts.
Sarah Palin’s strategy for 2012 is obviously to continue being the reality show of the Republican Party, performing wacky stunts to make each episode a tad less dreary. Her intellect is wonderfully symbolic of the state that elected her — wide-open space devoid of development.

See, that's some seriously offensive shit to write, dude. Not cool at all.
Yes,but promoting the rape of a 14 year old is cool.Little Rev. Wright saying "dem jews" is ok.Obama sitting on his skinny ass while Reich insults whites is fine.Can you say double talking scum bag.

Imus was making fun of a few Rutgers basketball players.It got turned into him mocking an entire race.Letterman said the daughter at the game.If hes so fucking stupid to not check the facts,then thats his problem.

they weren't hoes, and he called them hoes.
Bristol was, unfortunately, knocked up.
Letterman was stupid not to check facts, but it wasn't malicious. Imus used a racist and mean sexist thing in the same sentence, after saying a lot of racist shit in the past. it wasn't an isolated incident.
-

HOE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven't you figured out yet that Palin is a moron.
If she had any brain or class she would have laughed off the joke and said something like she doesn't concern herself with jokes by late night talk show hosts.
Instead she chose to put the image in the public domain of her 14 year old kid being raped and said it repeatedly. I wonder who's comments (Letterman or Palins) was more embarressing to the kid.
Anyone with half a brain knows that the joke only makes sense in the context of the "unwed teenage mother/abstinence advocate" Bristol Palin
How many more times do we need proof that Palin is a opportunistic idiot who cares more about keeping her face in the media for another day than she does about her own kids?
Maybe Palin is just looking to divert attention away from a GOP member in South Carolina

So ,do you think Robert Reich ,who said "no whites should get the jobs created by the stimulous " should be fired right away?Is that not racist?Should our president ,who said "white mans greed runs a world in need" should be fired?Should Jesse Jackson be bannished for Hymietown or admitting to spitting in white peoples food?Should Sharpton who called ancient greeks "greek homos" be bannished?
Or is it only if a "white guy" says something that offends minorities be held to a different standard.TRhe fucking democrats have a former recruite for the Klan in the senate.Do you know what it takes to rise to the level of Kleagle and exhaulted cyclose in the Klan?I know a little something about them.To get to that level of power in the Klan every sentance you utter include the "N' word.This man makes Imus look like a saint.Anyone calling for him to be ousted?
You saying Jaime Fox whos show called Mylie Cyrus a "white bitch" be fored.Your a self hating white man and a disgrace.You look past anything said about whites and kill Imus,who has done more for chrity and people of color then Sharpton,Jackson and Obama combined.Your a fool.
Lastly,ONCE AGAIN,he saids the daughter that was at the game.Was Bristol at the game?No,she wasnt,that leaves one daughter.By the way,I believe thats 4 appologies for him.Keep trying to defend him,because hes not defending himself.

Billy: Dont bother, most of these panzies are set in their little liberal constructs where everything and anything a liberal does is ok and justifiable, and anything anyone who does not conform to their narrow minded view of things is bad.
Your wasting your energy with these people. Just remember this, if Palin were a Dem, she would be the liberals' Mother Theresa, Mother of Jesus Mary, Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, Elenor Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks - all wrapped up into one person.

The bottom line is you left wing libs PROTECT the left wing scum and then cry like bitches when the shoe is on the other foot.You scream for Imus to be fired but support Letterman and Fox and Sharpton.Letterman keeps appologising over and over.PALIN WINS,to use your term,SHE OWNED HIM!!!!

Palin keeps whining over and over, thus bringing more focus on Dave and his joke. His apology is nothing more than subtle jokes. Which is why everyone is laughing WITH Dave while laughing AT Palin.

He keeps his job. he just made a lot of $ from the ratings.
She's still a joke in her own party, and we all got a weeks' woth of reminder that there was an unwed teenage mom somewhere in that mix.
Yeah, not much changed here.

Besides, everyone knows that stat rape doesn't occur on public ball fields.
It occurs in the Republican home of the victim's parents.

David Letterman's comments about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and one of her daughters has prompted a hotel chain to pull its advertising on CBS' website — and spawned a campaign to fire the Late Show host that includes a planned protest outside his studio.
Embassy Suites, part of the Hilton Hotels Corp., pulled advertising on CBS' site because of complaints, company spokeswoman Kendra Walker told TVGuide.com. The company was not an advertiser on Letterman's show.
"We received lots of e-mails from concerned guests and we assessed that the statement that he made was offensive enough to our guests and prospective guests that we elected to take the ads down," Walker said. She declined to release the cost of the ads.
Now,if I post it,its there.By the way,I love how these thin skinned guys on here say ANYTHING they want about Palin and her family,but you say something about a drunken,cancer stricken murderer and they are outraged.He,Ted Kenniedy,is a drunk,a killer and a scum bag and I root for the day cancer eats his bones.His son is a stone cold junkie.Now THATS a good family.

If you think that one company pulling down their ads is an issue, then you don't understand how the TV business works... There are more advertisers than there is time for commercials.
If you think me saying that it's low to call someone a child molester is being a whining whatever it is that got blanked out, then you're just a sad human being.
Letterman was telling a joke, you're just calling someone a molester... There is no humor there.
Shame you don't have any sense of humor at all.

Furthermore, the hotel didn't drop their advertising. They simply took their ads out of rotation temporarily
________________________ __
NEW YORK, NY --
David Letterman did not lose advertising from hotel chain Embassy Suites over his controversial joke about one of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s daughters, a rep for the company told Access Hollywood.
According to a spokesperson for the hotel chain, they asked that their ads be removed from rotation during the controversy, but added they do not have a side in the dispute.
________________________ ____
So guess what Billyboy? They didn't stop being advertisers. They still pay money to advertise there. WHERE IS THE $$$ LOSS??? Where? What's your spin now?
Anything else you need straightened out and corrected on?
