Where to start on David Lettermans attack on Palin on her visit to New York to do charitable work, accompanied by her 14-year-old daughter Willow?
The hypocrisy of the Left that used to monitor slurs about womens appearances, sick jokes about statuary rape, demonization of women with charges of promiscuity-all this rightly was taboo? But now silence? (But then no one seemed bothered either by the rather shameless instance of plagiarism on the part of Maureen Dowd, the NY Times columnist, who habitually accuses Cheney/Bush/Rumsfeld of lying and other moral lapses.)
The metrosexual, hip David Letterman offered an apology I think that essentially was something along the following lines. Heres my paraphrase: Sorry, I confused the 14-year-old Willow Palin with the 18-year-old Bristol Plain, so I was wrong for suggesting the younger Palin girl would be knocked up during a baseball game with Alex Rodriguez, or draw in Eliot Spitzer for sex, when I really meant that Bristol certainly would. (Note the silence about calling Governor Palin slutty looking. So if some right-wing nut says that Michelle Obama is slutty looking, are we to expect no consequences?)..

Letterman’s apology basically claimed:
“I wasn’t joking about a rape of a 14 year old teen, I was joking about the rape of an 18 year old teen who recently gave birth”
Stunning...
Down with the disgusting pedophile Letterman. Fire his sorry-a** butt.
The perfect descrioption of the culture of the left:
The Creepy Culture...
I would like to see Sarah Palin visit Conan instead and have her pow pow Letterman.
Only in her dreams would Michelle be called slutty looking.
For now she looks like a homeless bag lady with an ammo belt around her waist.
Michele wishes she were “slutty” looking, instead of charactor from Sandford and Son.
So how can ANYTHING else he said remotely resemble an apology.
I filed a complaint with FCC, called 14 of Letterman's sponsors and strongly suggested they pull their advertising, called and emailed CBS 3 days in a row and since Obama is taking credit for the "robust debate" in Iran, I feel I should take credit for calling NOW 3 days in a row demanding a statement about Letterman which they have now done.
All of the above, and of course her pro-life stance. But mostly, her unapologetic Americanism is what they despise.
I think you meant “statutory rape”, Dr. Hanson. “Statuary rape” comes under the heading of “Stupid Dave Tricks”.
The sicko is lying.
It WAS Sara's 14 year daughter he was fantasizing raping. He wouldn't have said it had Sarah and her 14 year old daughter not attended that charity function, so he can't say he was talking about her 18 year old daughter, although that is just as sick.
Letterman should be hounded relentlessly over this until he goes off the air.
He's a pedophile who fantasizes raping 14 year old girls and their mothers.
What was CBS’ statement on this?
Nailed it!
None to me. I haven't heard of an official CBS response.
If you call CBS they transfer you to the "comment line". The last day I called I was disconnected at that point. Twice. I actually think the in-box was overflowing.
I also left a comment at Letterman's production company, 'World Wide Pants'.
Good God I thought the same thing! LOL LOL
LOL! Not ruddy likely!
I misunderstood the post where you wrote “which they have now done.” It made it sound like CBS had now given an official response. Maybe a typo (now = not)?
Well, not really surprised that they haven’t come out with an official response.
Thanks.
Meghan McCain did the same thing for her father. She is over 21, and is free to do so. I noticed that Bridget did NOT participate overly much, but she's a teenager, and I'm sure the McCains didn't want to subject her to the cruelty of the MSM.
