Levi Johnston on David Letterman, Comedians: Can't Do Nothing About Them

Something is wrong when Levi Johnston sounds more reasonable about an issue than a former candidate for Vice President.

Asked by Extra if David Letterman crossed a line with his jokes about Bristol Palin this week, her baby daddy replied:

"I think he might have a little bit. I don't think he meant to hurt anybody. He's a comedian. That's what he does... People are going to make jokes and there're going to talk and say whatever they want. You can't do nothing about it.

"[But] there's somewhere you have to draw the line with some things."

A Baby Daddy

Simple, direct, rational, critical. That's all Sarah Palin had to say. Go ahead and stick up for your family, Governor. Tell everyone you thought the joke was a bit much.

But don't turn this crack into some example of a much grander issue by saying:

"No wonder young girls especially have such low self-esteem in America when we think it's funny for a so-called comedian to get away with such a remark as he did."

Pardon? Is there a pandemic of jokes about older men knocking up younger women going on that we haven't been made aware of? Does Palin plan on dedicating her life to the eradication of all questionable jokes on late-night television? If so, we have one thing to say:

Awesome! That would be a much better job for her than anything involving politics.

    He's absolutely right: Dave never meant to hurt anyone. He's a comedian for God's sake.

    And yes, he does sound more reasonable than Sarah Palin.

    So the more she attacks David Letterman, the less she appears to be fit for any form of national political office.

  2. Andrea Says:

    "Mr. Littleman" who knocked up a gal and had a kid with out being married.... an old geezer on a younger women with out being married create a child with out being married. What a piece of bumbling work this dried up "HAS BEEN" is. Oh yes and for Mr. Johnston who parades his life and child around to make money - continues his circus act. How's his mom and her drug problem going?

  3. SteveKirk Says:

    If Dave never meant to hurt anyone and he's just an equal opportunity jokester, why doesn't someone here provide an instance of Dave talking about knocking up Obama's kids? In fact, try finding anything that Dave has said negative about Obama's crew (though Biden is a gaff a minute and Obama can't say a non-teleprompter sentence without ten ummms and uhhhs)..

    Fact is Dave is a pathetic suck up and pansy. Not so brave when it comes to making fun of Obamessiah, is he? We'll see how he feels about Obama in six months when the economy is still in the toilet and the younger generation figures out they've been stuck with the "stimulus" bill and didn't even get a crummy T-shirt. Ha, ha, the joke is on America.

    I would think that Levi will defend the mother of his child. HOW WRONG I WAS

  5. icarus Says:

    Palin's supporters are stupid, shrill, rabid, attack chihuahuas just like she is. The minute someone says something they don't like about her, they freak out and start foaming at the mouth, just like her.

  6. Lori Says:

    I think Governor Palin's point was that in our culture, jokes such as this, are accepted, and shouldn't be. David Letterman should exercise more responsibility when choosing his schtick. Making fun of young women in a derogatory way should not be allowed. In order for that to e accomplished, men that do this should be admonished. Then, eventually, it won't be an acceptable practice.

  7. wildwood Says:

    eh, NO. letterman was mean and nasty. this kind of low talk about sexuality and the culture is completely unacceptable....it is a tragedy how low talk has become today. anything is fair game and it shouldn't be. plus levi johnston is a not very bright young man who got sucked into the vortex of modern gossip. what a joke that the media keeps coming back to him, like he's some kind of sage.

  8. Ruf Says:

    I think this was more of a Letterman fantasy and less of a joke. Old men shouldn't be talking about 14-year-olds in a sexual context.

  9. L Cannon Says:

    Did you know Letterman fathered a bastard? Like father, like son, I guess...

    Letterman's wife tried to look like a slut, but she's so ugly only Dave would knock her up!

    Letterman's wife tried to become a whore, but she's so ugly that Eliot Spitzer demanded that she pay him $4,000 an hour!

    Ba-da-boom!

  10. George D Says:


    Have you seen pictures of Letterman's wife? Absolutely NOT pleasant on the eyes!

    Letterman's attacks on Sarah Palin have been relentless and he's devolved into a crude, crass shell of a comedian he once was. This is what happens when comedians forget their primary job is to be funny. Dave's a Leftist first now and comedian second. Too bad for all
