“Hey Imus resigned.......... “

Imus was fired but collected the rest of his 40 million contract.

I smell fear. Good.

I'm not one to go around judgin', but I don't think is was ethical for Letterman to marry Corey Feldman:

All the affirmative beauty action in the world would not make Letterman’s wife good looking. Letterman has done a great job of keeping her in the background. It’s a story in itself how a rich, successful, guy who could have his pick of hollywould beauties would go for her! Kind of like Charles and Camilla I guess.

Also heard that they lost Hilton Embassy Suites as an advertiser due to complaints. :)

Does Dave’s wife have any teeth, or is that Meth-Mouth?

Sarah isn't looking for a personal apology; she clearly stated that this vileness is towards young girls. Sarah “as a [C]hristian” has no need or place to accept his “apology.”

personally, Lurid Letterman's "apology" is more lies, obfuscation, sickening false indignation, insincerity and denial of guilt. He is explicitly upping the situation. And this latest stunt infuriates me to no end for young girls.

Dave Letterman: Pervert.

That’s your unwritten obit, Dave.

Slutty flight attendant, knocked up daughter, and he has to be told this is innapropriate. He knew these jokes were off color when he told them but was playing to his hate filled liberal audience. Maybe we should compare these jokes to the hard hitting jokes he has told about Obama...anybody?..anybody?

It's the perception rather than the intent.'

No one can step into another person's mind and know for sure the "intent" of anything. In this case the perception that he told a joke about the daughter who was at the game is also the reality of the situation.

If I told a rape joke about one of President Obama's daughters, but in my mind I was thinking "Hillary" it wouldn't matter to anyone. It would be offensive.

Letterman did the right thing to try to apologize. It's too little - too late ... but time will tell if he means it. In his favor I don't remember him telling rape jokes about children before - but then again he doesn't see conservatives as the equals of liberals - or our children.

Does anyone remember him calling a liberal governor "slutty"? I'd like to know - but I already know - his contempt is saved for traditional conservative Americans.

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

Yes it would, as long as it's a sincere apology and not the mocking first one he presented.

"Oh for Heaven’s sake, can he just drop it already???"

Indeed. I never watch nor listen to Letterman, anyway.

LET IT GO. Move on.

I complained. Don’t do that often because I don’t want to get put on a spam list. No form letter or anything from the network though.

Just like 0bama is only reading from the telepromter and really had no idea what he is saying!

So who is this joke writer that Letterman is quoting? Why is he/she still on staff? Why would Letterman continue an association with this person?

I love Embassy Suites and we go out of our way to stop there when traveling. Good for them and the families they serve.
