....ahh Dave? Are you sure you want to complain about the governor's looks?
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.
I sent a complaint to the FCC and urged my friends to do the same. Maybe it did some good. Ya never know.
It would be wise for Sarah as a christian to accept his apology.
....ahh Dave? Are you sure you want to complain about the governor's looks?
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.
good enough
It’s in poor taste no matter which daughter it is. I say again Letterwoman is a DOUCHEBAG.
Say good night Dave...for the very last time.
“Hey Imus resigned.......... “
Imus was fired but collected the rest of his 40 million contract.
I smell fear. Good.
Dave Letterman: Pervert.
That’s your unwritten obit, Dave.
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.
The only problem with this apology is that after he made the first error, and all the uproar ensued, he made the same error the following night.
How did he not know, after the first night, that Willow was not the daughter accompanying Governor Palin on this New York swing, when he made the crack about Willow being attractive to the Perv-Guv Elliot Spitzer?
By the terms of this apology, he had to have made the Spitzer joke with full knowledge, but went ahead anyway.
