'Nervous' Letterman Brushes Off Protesters Late Show Host Jokes About Flap With Former VP Candidate Palin, Unveils "Top Ten Things Overheard At Fire Dave Rally" NEW YORK (CBS) ―
While angry protesters called for CBS to fire longtime Late Show host David Letterman after his flap with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the comic brushed off the hate with a slew of jokes and a Top Ten List aimed at those calling for his head.
In fact, the very first thing he said to his audience was a rib for those rallying:
"Now when I call your name, please come forward and pick up your apology. [Laughter, applause] I wanna get through this as quickly as possibly so you folks can get to the 'Fire Dave Rally.' [Cheering] It's nice that people hate me who are no longer just part of my immediate family. My son, he's telling everybody at school that his father is Conan!"
He later touched on his apology to Palin for making a distasteful joke about her daughter Bristol having sex with Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez. Many believed the joke was actually aimed at her 14-year-old daughter Willow and were appalled. Palin eventually accepted an apology from Letterman.
"The good news is Sarah Palin has accepted my apology. She also accepted a $500 gift certificate from Lens Crafters. I thought that was a nice touch," he said. "I tell you, I was quite nervous about this whole thing, and I was really nervous about an apology to Sarah Palin, so when I did get my confidence up and my nerves to settle down, I rehearsed by apologizing to Tina Fey. That helped. That was a big help. [Applause]"

Still waiting for the first mean jokes about obama and/or his children...
Seill sounds like he don’t get it.
This schmuck still doesn’t get it does he..He knows he has the full backing of CBS, they will never fire him. They would rather collapse around him then ever fire him. That is how devoted they are to him and to Obama
David the Sincere //sarc//
I’m waiting for the jokes about his own out-of-wedlock child.
And he was in his fifties when he had it, not a confused teenager.
He can kiss my *ss in Macy’s window. He is a dreadful semi-human being, to whom, if I were a mean guy like the lefties, would wish that his bypass failed. But, since I am not a mean-spirited person, I will not wish him ill.
You are going to see a lot of this "hate" stuff. Think the guy's a sleeze...you're a hater
Disagree with Ozero's policies...you're a hater. It's so easy.
He’s still disgusting but then I was never a fan.
Are you saying Harry’s mother is a slut?
A contract is a contract. If they try to can him he sues for big $$
You mean he had SEX? I thought the kid was artificially inseminated. Will wonders never cease.....
Letterman's joke about statutory rape was the lowest of the low.
So let me see if I have this correct: He apologizes and then makes a joke about it:
“The good news is Sarah Palin has accepted my apology. She also accepted a $500 gift certificate from Lens Crafters. I thought that was a nice touch,” he said. “I tell you, I was quite nervous about this whole thing,..”
So then there was really no apology, keep the heat on CBS!

Read the story, and it was even mildly humorous, particularly the part where Perv’s kid was claiming Conan was his real dad.
Letterman has been cut some slack by O’Reilly and others who seem to have forgotten Letterman said the same thing about Bristol in the spring. Letterman seems to have an unhealthy obsession about the Palin family, especially Sarah, in that he uses them with unvarnished hate in his “jokes”. The man was and is way out of line. His remark was Hate Speak in my view.
Well the president is the result of a white trash whore who slept with the town drunk...
Ah! YEP! ABSOLUTELY! Look WHO She Shacked UP WITH! and how she allowed Her Son to endure being a Bastard for his first six years of Life while Living in Filthy Rich Wealth and Luxury! YUK!
They can take him off the air, and still pay his contract.
