Letterman voted into NOW Hall of Shame: After two nights of "jokes" at the expense of Palin and her family, Letterman tried to explain himself and offer something of an apology. On his June 10 show, Letterman said he was referring to Palin's 18-year-old daughter, Bristol -- not the 14-year-old daughter who actually accompanied Palin on her New York trip. Letterman said "I recognize that these are ugly" jokes. NOW agrees. Comedians in search of a laugh should really know better than to snicker about men having sex with teenage girls (or young women) less than half their age.
The sexualization of girls and women in the media is reaching new lows these days -- it is exploitative and has a negative effect on how all women and girls are perceived and how they view themselves. Letterman also joked about what he called Palin's "slutty flight attendant look" -- yet another example of how the media love to focus on a woman politician's appearance, especially as it relates to her sexual appeal to men. Someone of Letterman's stature, who appears on what used to be known as "the Tiffany Network" (CBS), should be above wallowing in the juvenile, sexist mud that other comedians and broadcasters seem to prefer.

I enjoyed that. I think I could have put on such a production, but I would have had to say, “I know the guy that did Letterman’s wife”. LOL
My God man, have you seen her photos... nobody gets that drunk anymore. LOL
But still... nice job.
I was watching Limbaugh’s TV show when he did the Chelsea Clinton dog joke. It wasn’t funny and it made me rather sour on the guy. Love his politics, love his leadership, love his talent, but that stupid joke cost him a lot of moral authority and not just with liberals.
What’s A Rods Comments on dave I wonder
Dave Letterman is an amoral jokester who will do anything for a laugh, but WHY did people in the audience laughingly approve his oafish behavior?
Actually, it isn’t after two nights of Palin jokes. It has been since the Republican convention last year.
Rush was dumb to say it and really did know better than to give the left ammno
...But compared to the vitriol and downright cruelty the left pukes out daily and debases themselves, Rush comment was an pimple on a elephant ass
Well I’ll be damned.
PUMA! PUMA! PUMA! PUMA!
Only "these days" ??? Where has NOW been all "these decades" ??? And where were they when they cast all their eggs (figuratively) into the leftist basket which includes the leftist 'media'?

You should really rethink that.
