Gregory Kane: Who is laughing now, Mr. Letterman?

Well, it's not the renowned and, as it turns out, downright horny host of CBS' "Late Night With David Letterman" show.

It's probably Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska, former vice-presidential candidate and current full-time mom who, back in June, showed Letterman the wrath of an angry mom.

Letterman, who probably needs better joke writers as well as some kind of male chastity belt, wisecracked that New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez "knocked up" Palin's daughter during a seventh-inning stretch.

Palin went ballistic, figuring Letterman was referring to her 14-year-old daughter Willow. Letterman countered by saying he was referring to her 18-year-old daughter Bristol.

Apparently, Letterman's writers forgot Palin has two daughters.

In a Newsday story from June 10 of this year, Letterman offered some kind of lame apology to Palin: "I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl." He added: "I mean, look at my record. It has never happened. I don't think it's funny. I would never think it was funny. I wouldn't put it in a joke."

Recently, Letterman was forced - by an alleged extortionist - to come clean about his record. No, he wouldn't have sex with a 14-year-old girl. But the married Letterman revealed that he does like having sex with women other than his wife, and apparently he likes them young. And they're all staffers at "Late Night With David Letterman."

Boy, talk about the Coolidge Effect.

Note: There is more in the article including a sincere apology to Sarah Palin by Delightful Dave (finally) and a vicious rant by Lisa Lampanelli.

I liked the article but he made a mistake. The Palins have three daughters, Bristol, Willow and Piper.

Lampenelli's quote:

One of the most offensive - in fact, one who revels in being offensive - is a woman called Lisa Lampanelli. Earlier this year she did an HBO special, targeting Palin and her children.

"How many kids does this b***h have to have?" Lampanelli continued. "And then she goes and has the retard kid. What the bleep was that bleep all about? That is God's way of saying 'Stop the presses.' The retard kid is the warning shot of the reproductive system. That is nature's way of saying put the police tape around your bleep and close its doors."

That is just downright evil!

[count-your-change]

Letterman is being given the lash, deservedly so, but what of the women who went horizontal with him? Their immorality is hardly less than his yet somehow the aging Howdy Doody is the only one being thrashed in all the news.

“If Palin is somewhere cackling”

I see the arrogant SOB managed to get his little dig in. Hey Mr kane, SCREW YOU and the horse you rode in on.

Dave’s old, bitter, and wealthy beyond most of our imagination.

Now that Dave’s problems have been exposed:

Dave’s old, bitter, and wealthy beyond most of our imagination.

I don’t think he’ll suffer much over all this.

[Carley]

NOW is trying to exploit this for all it’s worth.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Maybe now the sluts he slept with can sue his and CBS’s A$$ off!!!!!!

[ohioWfan]

Further mistake. It was Willow who was at the game.

Letterman was talking about Willow, the 14 year old in his sordid joke.

And in addition.......is it OK to rape an 18 year old??

A few more sentences of clarification would have made this a better article.

Willow escorted Sarah to Yankee Stadium, Bristol did not. Letterman’s “joke” could only have been aimed at Willow.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Letterman referred to Sarah’s daughter getting “knocked up” by A-Rod at Yankee Stadium, the word “rape” was never used. However, had A-Rod “knocked up” Willow it would have been statuory rape under New York law, which states that fourteen’ll get you twenty. Since Willow attended the game and Bristol did not, he could only have meant Willow.

[Ditto]

Maybe now the sluts he slept with can sue his and CBS’s A$$ off!!!!!!

If any of the sluts got promotions for boinking the jerk, it's all the other women (and men) in that office that didn't do him who will have grounds to sue. That could be a lot of people.

[RightStuff1]

Karma came around onto Letterman big time. He sure earned it, and I hope he’s enjoying being on the other side.

Dave’s old, bitter, and wealthy beyond most of our imagination.

Wealthy? Maybe now, not so much. The way he keeps going after Madoff, I have to wonder if Dave was one of the lucky few allowed to invest money with Bernie. heh heh

[thirst4truth]

and why didn't A-Rod say a word about it, don't you think it was an insult to him?

David Letterman is a bitter, angry old man and I think he lashed out at Palin, cause he knew he could never have her!

[bogusname]

Exactly...well said.

[upcountryhorseman]

I hope his ratings go to zero and he is dropped by CBS or
whatever rotten network caries him.

[doug from upland]

Pass it on. :)

As you may recall A-Rod was seen in the company of a blond, not his wife. He didn't want any more publicity. Ridicule is the price one pays for notariety.

Classy Red Sox fans give A-Rod the business.
