Letterman's Joke

[copperscooter]

BlueGTP91 and Lawngoose you obviously have no daughters, I have 3 daughters and find no humor in statutory rape and impugning the morals of minor children. The "joke" was not intended to be funny it was a verbal bomb intended to demean Palin. The laughter you heard was that of an embarrassed audience. As for the apology, its simply not believable.

If you can see Letterman laughing at jokes about his own son's vulnerabilities or making jokes about Obama's daughters, then you go ahead and believe his apology was sincere. If not, just admit there's a double standard when the media elite makes fun of a conservative.

You can't honestly tell me you have never made a joke about someone you have hated or dislike. And if you say you haven't, then you sir are a liar.

So true. If he made the joke about a liberal's daughter, N.O.W. would be going nuts.

Seems to me that Don Imus ( I can't stand him BTW ) got fired for something similar........

Like Jeff Foxworthy said about it, He's in the business of comedy and to make people laugh. After you have done it everyday for 10-20 years you will have your slip ups. He can consistently make good laughs in good taste. Sarah is just turning a mistake into a publicity run, she has hardly anything to lose from running her mouth now that a well known comedian lost his.
