    What a fucking shame. In the 80's, Letterman was the best on television. The one-two punch of him following the great Johnny was a era that will never happen again.

    It's depressing as hell to see that his bowing before the alter of the Democratic Party has turned him into a bitter old loon like so many that have got down on their knees to worship The Party.

    Then there's the other side to this.

    Name one national Republican figure in the past 50 years that has sent the Democrats into a blind panic the way Palin has.

    Fuck you Letterman. It's time to retire.

    I haven't watched Letterman in years, because this guy takes one half-way funny joke and runs it into the fucking ground. :garamet:

    That "joke" was pretty tasteless, regardless of which daughter it was aimed at.

    And even his "apology" was more of the same obnoxious nonsense.

    Let me preface this with the understanding that I don't like Sarah Palin for anything other than a fucktoy and I'd seriously enjoy a Rocco Siffredi-style threeway with her and Bristol.

    So I don't care if Letterman offended or stuff.

    He just hasn't been funny since the 1980s. When your audience cheers more than laughs, you're not doing your job.

    I'd enjoy that myself being the pervert that I am. But I don't want sloppy seconds.

    By not apologizing sincerely, all Letterman has does is to keep Palin in the news that much longer. Otherwise this thing would have faded by now.

    And may I say the worst part of this is that it gives people an excuse to say "A-Rod" on the air over and over even more than that stupid-ass nom-de-plume is already slathered about the airwaves!

    Yup. Like "The Simpsons" I watched Letterman out of habit as late as 2004 or so. But then I finally realized what a bitter, partisan hack he was. I watched Conan maybe a year longer, but he really hasn't been that good since Andy left. Jimmy Kimmel is OK, but I just don't have the time to stay up that late. And if I do, I've got better things to be doing than sitting around watching television.

    On a related note, my nephew wants to name his impending girl-child "Bristol." I'm trying to talk him out of it. Maybe if I showed him some Benny Hill episodes.

    I cannot believe anybody actually watches late-night talk shows.

    Do you people not get Cartoon Network in your primitive little hamlets?

    Letterman's style has changed, but he's still funnier than Leno or O'Brian.

    As for Palin, dontcha wish wemenz would sometimes just shut up and fuck?

    Now what would the reaction have been if a conservative had made the same remark about his eminence's daughters. There would have been calls for that person to be fired and much worse.

    But remember boys and girls, the left is tolerant!!

    I used to like Letterman. I don't understand what's gotten into him but he definitely pisses me off these days. I put him a few rungs above Bill Maher on my 'cunt meter.'

    Where are the cries of "thought crime!" and "liberal censorship?"


    And where are the "if Palin can't take the heat, she should fuck off" responses, for that matter?




    Are you people seriously okay with her trying to play the victim card here? Along with the minority card, at that?

    I'm not a big fan of targeting people's kids...and I am not buying his excuse he meant Bristol, either. :shrug:

    I think any parent would be livid.

    Everyone is someones kid.

    Why? Has he ever made a joke about any of the other kids before?

    Bristol's the one that got knocked up out of wedlock, then backed out of marrying the father. Bristol's the one that's been in the news lately. Bristol's the one that's been on the cover of magazines.


    Why would he make a joke about a different kid? :shrug:

    Because it was the OTHER daughter that Palin was traveling with recently. Most figured he meant THAT daughter.


    His excuse is very weak. Very.

    But the joke wouldn't make sense that way. Calling Bristol a skank is funny because there's at least a hint of truth to it. The other one, it's just random.
    Did you know Palin had one of her kids travelling with her?

    I knew Palin was travelling around the states, but I had no idea she had anyone with her. This is the first I've heard of it. Shouldn't that kid still be in school anyway?

    Yes, most people in NYC knew that. They were in NYC. The show is broadcast in NYC. A-Rod is on the NY Yankees. It was a current events type joke.

    Sheeesh!!

    Yes, one could assume he meant Bristol. But due to the facts I listed above...he stepped on his dick BIGTIME.
