Probably to boost falling ratings.
Otherwise, why announce it in advance ?
Oh for Heaven’s sake, can he just drop it already???
I won’t be tuning in to hear it and boost his ratings.
Thanks for the apology. Now get out.
Pervert Dave, you are a mean SOB and a liar.
I still won’t watch him....
Typical liberal ... they only confess when they’re caught and only apologize when public opinion makes them. They never mean any of it.
An apology in front of a camera is not an apology. Its a publicity stunt.
Fork Letterman...
and the horse he rode in on.
I'm sorry you misunderstood, or
I'm sorry it was perceived that way
The apology will NOT be:
I'm sorry for what I said, or
I'm sorry what I said hurt you.
If CBS is releasing a transcript before the show even airs, the pressure must be coming from their advertisers to make this go away.
Dave was just too defiant last week to make this kind of analogy - that is assuming it will be delivered with the same sincerity in which it reads - without someone telling him that advertisers were either leaving, or thinking of leaving.
so he’s still contending that it would be alright to make such a joke about an 18 YO?
Yeah, sure...Apologize now, after all has been kicked around and focused grouped to death...
I kinda fall on the side that this is a forced apology, therefore not very sincere...
He is only sorry that he and his writers got pinched enough to have to do this...
I would almost prefer he didn’t, because they really don’t mean it...
I read the whole thing. I’m still not buying it.
He needs to make a joke about a democrats daughter, no matter the age.. Chelsea would do...rape is rape, and Hillary could look slutty... see how that would go over.. this guy needs to quit..
“...I had no idea that anybody was at the ball game except the Governor...”
Well, that appears to be a LIE according to the opening paragraph!
“...Letterman went much further than his last explanation of the joke, in which he quipped that a baseball player had ‘knocked up’ Palin’s daughter, Josef Adalian wrote.”
Maybe he should have made the “joke” about Rudy, his lip might be healing by now.
