Ok, so he is sorry he told the “joke” because the child was at the game. So what. It was still a vile and disgusting “joke” about the rape of a 14 year old (I do not care if he thought he was making a joke about the rape of an 18 year old or not). Joking about rape is vile.
If it was about an 18 year old, she is of age. It wouldn’t have been rape.
I honestly don’t believe the joke was about rape, but was yet ANOTHER did (Joyless Behar on the View does this all the time) about what a ‘slut’ Bristol was for getting pregnant (’knocked up’)out of wedlock and being an unwed mother—Letterman and his writers were stupid for assuming that Bristol was the one attending the ball game when in truth it was Willow, the 14 year old.
Doesn’t matter in the long run—the jokes were disgusting and unfunny—and I am tired of seeing the constant attacks on Sarah Palin and her children (even little baby Trig has been targeted!) when all other politicians’ children are considered ‘off limits’...would the MSM’s “ha-ha he was just joking attitude you’re reading too much into this and overreacting” attitude toward the whole thing be the same if the joke had been about “Sasha went to the ball game and got knocked up by A-Rod in the seventh inning stretch!!” or “Malia sure is wearing slutty looking makeup while she’s visiting NYC!!”
I...don’t...think...so!!!! >:-(
He never was sorry for the joke he made about Willow because if he was, he wouldn’t have called her a prostitute for Elliot Spitzer the very next day. He knew how old she was then, and still called her a hooker. I think referring to a child as a hooker was just as bad as the original crude comment he made. He can’t pretend he didn’t know how old she was because when he told the original vulgarity, there was backlash, and the age of Willow was stated, so what did the idiot do the next day, called her a hooker. Letterman is done, you can see him trying to slime his way out of this but it won’t work
And everyone is right, Sarah doesn’t have to say a word, we will do the work for her. Letterman will pay for what he did, he hasn’t gotten away with it and he won’t
