“Oh, come on. He’s a jerk who made a jerky comment. This posting looks like something an aggrieved lib would write while filing a report on a hate crime. Is that where we are now, legitimizing the libs’ BS because it suits us?”
Exactly. The whole stalking thing is pretty stupid stuff. Besides, the joke is clearly about Bristol, who got herself knocked up and can hardly be considered “innocent”. Some people are twisting themselves into knots trying to make this a much bigger thing than it is.
I’m always amazed when people claim girls get themselves knocked up.
How did they to do that to themselves?
I thought it required the participation of a female AND a male?
Anyways - Bristol was not at that yankees game, so the joke was not about her.
Letterman is trying to wriggle like a snake.
1) It was about Willow. The fact that she was the only one accompanying her parents to NY was not lost on CBS, Letterman and his writers. He said "Palin's daughter" at the stadium. That's Willow.
2) Whether it was "meant to be Bristol" doesn't make this any better. You call her "not innocent"!? Is it okay to say she should impregnated on the field? WTH?
3) Letterman then an evening LATER made another joke about Eliot Spitzer laying his hands on "Palin's daughter". Again the only one there was Willow. By then he KNEW that Willow was the one in NY. He again on purpose didn't name the daughter, to cover his sorry rear.
4) In his lame non-excuse he further insulted Willow specifically by inferring that her rape would be "promiscuous sex" on her part! And then hurled insult against Bristol, signaling that it's fair to smear her.
And his "invitation to the Palin's" was a pathetic provocation.
5) To top off the travesty he yucked that the "slut joke" was funny and had some deranged guest calling Todd Palin a "tool".
Yuck yuck yuck! Are you slapping your knees already?
You are parroting Letterman's trumped-up-after-the-fact excuse -- which is is obvious BS.
Bristol was not at the game. Willow (14) was. Although he belatedly tried to make it appear so, There was no logical connection to Bristol in the way he told his "joke(s)". Willow was the obvious target.
I seldom watch the doddering, nasty pig--but the guy on youtube looks practically on death's door! He could pass for eighty years old. He needs to retire and spend more time with his ugly wife.
I'm sick of the the Jon Stewarts, etc., the nasty bitter leftist comics, their howling obscenities and blasphemies.
Maybe you wouldn't enjoy watching them get slapped around, but I'd pay a lot to get a ticket to the show.
Plain to see what side you are on. A girl gets pregnant so that makes her fair game for a rape joke, and it was a rape joke as verified by Letterman's so called apology. The "joke" wasn't about Bristol, it was about the daughter that Palin had with her at the ball game and it was well publicized which daughter that was, 14 year old Willow. Your little comment has all the liberal talking points, either you are a lib troll or a Palin hater or, a third possibility, you are an insensitive dolt. Pick one.
