it's all about perception.....it's misunderstood.......blah, blah, blah.......

nowhere in this did I read a full throated apology......he was whistling through the gap in his teeth.....

I am not buying.

Earlier Picture of Letterman's girlfriend

It's no wonder that Letterman wants to keep her hidden away.

I am a FORMER fan of the LATE Show and will no longer be watching it or supporting ANY of the shows sponsors, as long as David Letterman is hosting the “show” (yes I have a list of sponsors and have let them know I will no longer be purchasing any of their products as long as they continue to advertise on the LATE Show).

David Letterman’s ongoing sordid “jokes” regarding Governor Palin, her “slutty” clothing and the RAPE of her under aged daughter were the last straw. Now Mr. Letterman “apologizes” by saying “I was MISUNDERSTOOD, I was not talking about the RAPE of the younger daughter, I meant the RAPE of Governor Palin’s older daughter.”

Isn’t that special, he was misunderstood. Sorry, it does not wash or stand up to scrutiny.

As someone else posted: “Hey Dave.. the “joke” was not MISUNDERSTOOD at all. Someone wrote it. Someone approved it. And YOU thought it was funny and spoke it on the air. And we UNDERSTOOD it exactly as you meant it, you creep.

Apology NOT accepted.”

Baloney. He must have read those ‘jokes’ before he spoke them, yet he went ahead with them anyway. An apology is useless. I hope this follows him where ever he goes.

this guy thinks a joke about an 18 year old young woman is “OK” ....if he made the joke about my 25 year old daughter it would NOT be OK with me.....he just doesn’t get it.

I sent a complaint to the FCC and urged my friends to do the same. Maybe it did some good. Ya never know.

On paper, it looks good to me. If in person, he's doing that smirking apology like the first one, I'm not buying it. And why did it take him so long to realize what a friggin disaster these jokes were? BTW, where is the apology to flight attendants? He's admitting that he just reads jokes from his writers without even checking on who they are talking about. At the very least, the joke writer should be fired. Otherwise, he'll just keep on repeating garbage.

It would be wise for Sarah as a christian to accept his apology.

She really looked a lot better, though back in the eighties. Don’t you think? But then again, we all did.

Letterman joked: "Palin bought makeup at Bloomingdale's to up date her "slutty flight attendant look">

....ahh Dave? Are you sure you want to complain about the governor's looks?

David Letterman all-white Broad Ripple Indianapolis '65, all-white "Rivi" Club real fast and hot with the "slutty" joke and the "daughter knocked up" joke--

And apparently enough people complained that he has to make another non-apology apology--

Hey, Letterman, beat it, scram, go back under your rock and get off the air.

A person may disagree with Governor Palin’s politics, but she is by no stretch of the imagination “slutty” looking. In fact, she looks like the ideal all-American girl. Smart dresser, always appropriate (unlike Mrs. Obama, I might add), and she wears great shoes.

She is not responsible for the dirty minds of others.

I agree that Sarah Palin does not dress slutty! Michelle Obama is black and therefore beautiful because of affirmative beauty action she can do no wrong.

It’s in poor taste no matter which daughter it is. I say again Letterwoman is a DOUCHEBAG.

Too little, way too late.

Say good night Dave...for the very last time.
