Letterman Owes Palin, Flight Attendants, Women in General an Apology

All the people on this post need to find a hobby off of the computer. This whole "issue" is ridiculous. Sometimes comedians shock the senses of the public. Big deal!

Yep - republicans hate it when humor points at them, but love it when it's pointed away. Typical hypocrisy. Is Palin going to apologize for all the lies and slants that she said about Obama? I doubt it. Is she going to admit that Katie Couric did nothing but ask her simple questions she couldn't twist quick enough? That didn't address her studied talking points, most of which were inaccurate or incomplete? Republicans and their inability to HELP anybody that's not a republican are rightfully the fodder for jokes - their attitudes and obstructionism are abysmal in the grand scheme of fixing America, and people have to laugh at that which needs to heal - the repubs.

"Letterman":

Where is Jay Leno when we REALLY need him...

It;s a joke! Get over it. If you did stop watching Letterman than why the hell did you listen to this. He pokes jokes at everyone. Should he apologize for the joke about Bush and all the other Republicans for the last 8 years who flushed the country down the toilet. Get real. IDIOTS!

to Al

may the same be said of you,

why are you here, for the same reason everyone else is, so may I suggest you follow your own advise.

as to this story.

Sarah Palin and her daughters have been the brunt of some very nasty, and uncalled for remarks, along with most women in the spotlight,

so much for true equality,

as for Letterman, he is so busy trying to win the number one spot, he does not care at whose expense, as long as he benefits.

the best way for women and men who respect women, to show their disgust, is to turn him off, and let his ratings fall, as long as people tune in, he will continue, to say whatever possible, and the only way to stop the stupidity, is not to encourage it.

Paulin is fair game. She does not represent women in a good way either so what is the big deal? I just wish Paulin ...and her daughters would drop out of the news completly. And I have a hope for Alaska to replace her asap.

It's not only Letterman who should apologize, but the writers of the show who make up the jokes prior to the show being televised.

It might be fair to say...not sure though.... that Letterman may have not even seen the jokes until reading them on a teleprompter.

Johnny Carson never saw the jokes written for him until he started his monolog.

Either way it is in poor taste for everyone.

I think Sarah Palin should apologize to every woman in America for representing them as small-minded, undereducated, grasping twits who will say or do anything to get what they want. Of course we all know that all American women aren't like that but this joke of a Governor/VP candidate has set the argument for women in politics back 100 years. BTW, I'm still waiting for an apology for all the blue dress, cigar, oval office jokes, too. Still waiting. And still waiting...

down right mean is having some dumb ... with an IQ of less then 60 in politics.....and as for looking like a slutty flight attendant > the oppology should go to the airlines and the flight attendants....would you want to be married to this woman....there isn;t enough oil in suadi arabia

Wow, you sound like you would be a fun person to hang out with. "No more jokes, darn it, cause I don't like them."

LOL LOL thats what I do when I listened to Dave.... or most comedians. Any one out there who actually thinks Sarah Palin has more intelligence than a beauty queen, which I think she was, is just as dumb. She wouldnt get elected in ant other state but Alaska.

You are so right. No one finds Letterman funny that is why his raings are on the bottom. His trashing of all women in evident in his jokes. Besides someone like him who shacked-up with a woman for years (which shows his gutter lifestyle)should not criticize anyone. He needs to be cancelled!

Sarah Palin is an embarisment to her state and to this country. she has set herself up for this and as the old saying goes; if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!

As if Mr. Letterman's personal life is an example to/for anyone? LOL
Can you even imagine what the press would have been like had he made jokes about a young woman (Chelsea Clinton) being the daughter of Bill during his "dark period'?
The bottom line today is simply that any thing, behavior, comment and action is accepted, tolerated, laughed at and supported if you are on the left...the only standard of behavior set for people is the one set for everyone else...however, this is transparency at its very best!

If you want celebrities to stop bashing politicians then start with the worst offenders, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and Barbara Streisand.

I agree completely!

Thank you so much for your comments, I totally agree that David Letterman is so over the top with his comments. I wonder how the Yankees and A Rod feel about his comments? I had stopped watching his show too and now this just reconfirms why. David Letterman, Shame on You!!

Some of you people really need to get a life! I seriously don't know how you ever made it this far if such simple things get you so upset.

Personally, I never really cared for Letterman, or any other talk show host for that matter. However Melinda, you of all people should KNOW he NEVER mentioned or implied "rape" of anyone! If his comment did refer to Piper or Willow, it would be statutory rape... and like Letterman, I don't think, making jokes about actual rape or statutory rape has any place in comedy. Since he was, mistakenly, referring to Bristol, "RAPE" in any way shape or form does not enter into the occasion.

I would tend to agree he was treading a VERY thin line with flight attendants or Palin by inserting "slutty" as part of a joke. His writers certainly could have come up with a less offensive term.

I missed David Letterman's latest insult. I stopped watching his show long ago, wondered how he still stayed on the air. I used to like him. He is from Indiana and so am I. I am ashamed of him. His remarks were crude, no matter if the young lady was 14 or 18. I am sure his mother is very proud of him.
