Im glad I stopped watching him 10 or 12 years ago. He sucked real bad for a while before I finally gave up so he must really be sucking now!
The only thing he’s sorry about is how people took his “joke”... he’s not sorry he delivered it.
Am I the only one wondering why A-Rod hasn’t expressed a little outrage of his own in HIS name being used in this mess? Or, have I missed it?
Letterman is desperate to stop the protest tomorrow in front of the Ed Sullivan Theater along with sponsors dropping from his show.
What a pitiful little man . . . 62 years old, famous, a multimillionaire, college graduate . . .and no class
He’s sorry we “misunderstood” his “joke”, not that he told it.
He’s only sorry because CBS executives must be on his sorry A** for making such a horrible, terrible attempt at humor. He’s about as sorry as yesterday’s dirty diapers. As a parent, I’m still angry. How would he like it if some other male celebrity made a joke about someone kidnapping & raping his son. He wouldn’t like it.
Sorry David. It’s not enough. We want blood. You will have to provide it ~ but first, invite in some of your “defenders” and ask them to join you.(Just joking ~ Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
Letterman’s only hope is to plead insanity.

Dave had the final say as to whether that joke or any of the top ten list was ever said on his show.
He said the joke because he saw a home run against Sarah Palin.
If he was a decent person, he would have said—I’m not saying that joke, period. That is over the line.
But he didn’t. Because he WANTED to say the joke.
His second non-apology is worthless like the first. To say that he did not know ANYONE was at the game with the Governor is a lie, pure and simple. A daughter had to be at the game to make the joke work at all. Even the audience knew that a daughter was at the game with Palin.
So, to him, it was a scream that one of the daughters got knocked up by A-Rod. Whetehr it was the 14 year old or the 18 year old didn’t matter to him, but either one still makes the joke vile and disgusting.
He needs to be Imus-ed by CBS. He has been dead-funny-man- walking for years now.
Rape is never a joking matter, whether it is the rape of a woman, a child, or a man.
Anyone who thinks it is a joking matter is a very sick person IMHO.
And in his “apology” he keeps insisting he would have never told a joke like he told.
It makes no sense.
I guess Letterman will kill himself if Bill Moyers brings it up.
Their tongues will be there hangman’s noose.
Letterman will be gone by the end of the summer, as soon as they figger out who’s gonna replace him.
'Oh, boy, now I'm beginning to understand what makes Liberoids react. It's the negative attention of fellow Liberoids (to wit, Mark Shields).
But for this, David would not have a clue .... RIGHT!!!!
In Letterman's defense, this was a joke about Eliot Spitzer perceiving Sarah Palin's daughter (of whatever age) as a sexual object, it was not calling either of the Palin daughters a sexual object. It was purely a slam on Spitzer.
That said, I'm offended by the ARod joke, it was clearly implying mutually consensual sexual behavior, and was crude, lewd, and wrong.
Here’s the Email I sent to Embassy Suites.
Thank you for withdrawing commercial sponsorship from the david letterman show. As you know many people found letterman’s brand of political humor disgusting. Insinuating that fourteen year old Willow Palin would have public sex in a stadium or be solicited as a prostitute by elliot spitzer is not the type of humor I want to associate with Embassy Suites, Your quick (and I expect permanent) disassociation from the david letterman show ensures I will continue to enjoy staying at Embassy Suites.
If letterman is truly just a comedian and not a partisan shock jock, where is his comedy auction to get planned parenthood donations to win the right to impregnate the Obama daughters?
