I think the governor misinterpreted what David said. Yes, I think it was in poor taste on David's part, but then again, he's a comedian and he's been mocking famous, infamous, and everyone in between for a long time now.
I can't believe this brainless woman can't even aceept David's apology.
Ms. Palin GO AWAY ALREADY - You make me sick!!!!

You're probable a liberal gay which explains your lack of wisdom and empathy. Any parent would be offended regardless the age of their child attacked. He also took a cheap shot at Todd in his weak explaination. As a father I would want to be in a roon alone with Dave and settle this quickly.

SARAH, YOU"RE AN IGNORANT CLOD! GO AWAY!!!

To BRational - you sound like a NYC wantabe. As far as "national ratings" are concerned, 75% of the people polled are from NYC, where do you think the all the television headquarters are addressed? The west coast people get the higher percentages in ratings as far as "national ratings" on Movies not TV, its all for the obvious reasons. But thats neither here or there, Letterman is still a ass for such a comment no matter who he was talking about. Not to say Palin shouldn't cool it already also.

Missing from your list of 'facts': Willow (14) was in New York and at the game. Bristol was in Alaska. So, in Letterman's joke, he meant that A-Rod left the stadium, flew to Alaska, impregnated Bristol, flew back to New York and returned to the stadium "during the seventh inning".
The Palin statement "It would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman." was a response to Letterman's 'joke' "The toughest part of her visit was keeping Eliot Spitzer away from her daughter."
Is Letterman above his own 'humor'?

Thank you Hollywood Gossip (and Gawker) for keeping this all in perspective. The developmentally challenged Queen of Alaska is totally in the wrong here. I mean how many times did she call candidate Obama someone who "palls around with terrorists"? Was that not incendiary and in poor taste? Of course it was.
I notice that, after Kate Couric, the only female reporter she'll talk to is one of her handlers -- Greta V. over at Fox. Today it's Matt Lauer and Wolf Blitzer, yesterday Ziegler and Hannity. Why no strong women Sarah? Afraid to get destroyed again with your word salad nonsense?

Also, it's fair to say that Letterman might have not known which daughter she was using as cover this time. She's got so many...

Lenny: You can't seriously be that dumb. Since, as all the intelligent comments have already pointed out, Dave is a COMEDIAN, it's really not that important that he didn't know the details of the Palin daughters' schedules correct. Get real! And why do you think you can speak for Palin or make any sense of the garbage she spews? Her calling Letterman a pedophile is a response to his joke about Eliot Spitzer? That doesn't even make sense! That was an insult to Spitzer, not her daughter.
It's also important to note that, just like every other "Palin controversy", this was 100% perpetuated by Palin herself. Nobody gives a sh!t about Letterman or his tired TOP 10 list. If Sarah was such an attention-whore, the only people who would have heard the off-color jokes would be the 20 people watching that night. Now, thanks to her incessantly loud mouth, this is what the world is talking about this week. Good job, Mom. Way to protect those girls of yours.

You are totally fascinated with this woman. Admit your attraction to Gov. Palin. I would, she is a total babe. Yet you sit in your ivory tower trying to convince the world that she is something less. Let's examine your family, any warts? Probably. I don't think you could pass the smell test you expect her to pass.

It's obvious he wouldn't intentionally make a joke about stat rape on a network TV show. Sure, they screwed up in the Pants office and on CBS, but for neocons and Palin to take it this far is a sad indictment not only of their current position, but the 24 hour news cycle.

Canada,
Your argument boils down to: the facts don't matter. You may see that as intelligent, I find it intellectually bankrupt.
I don't presume to speak for the Palins. I got it. They took his words and his brand of humor, and threw it right back at him. It was a joke. It obviously went over your head. I hope you don't presume to speak for an entire nation.
Letterman is responsible for what comes out of his mouth. I doubt that he thought that he was talking about a 14 year old. At best, his writers are incompetent. He followed this up with a snarky, smart-ass denial. No explanation of how it happened and no apology.
"this was 100% perpetuated by Palin herself" By going to NY for some charity fundraisers and taking her daughter to a ball game?
I think your hatred clouds your judgment.

ACTUALLY, OUR YOUTH DON'T NEED TO BE THE BLUNT OF "ADULT JOKES" PERIOD. DAVID BEING A PARENT SHOULD UNDERSTAND!
June 13th, 2009 12:08 PM
Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill! How embarrassing for Willow to have her Mom go around saying to the world she practically got statutory raped by a pedophile comedian!!! What magazine cover are Todd & Sarah planning to put Willow on?
This story has turned against Palin, because no one believes Letterman was joking about crimes on a minor. The only dot-connecting going on here is in Palin's opportunistic mind.
I find it far more serious to give hate speeches, incite violence and imply that a presidential candidate is a terrorist.
And it's hypocritical to crow about this while publicly attacking and insulting the 18-year-old father of Bristol's baby. How is it OK to attack Levi, but when it comes to vague jokes about Palin it's hands off. What phony outrage!
Next time you are tempted to blow up an ant with a stick of dynamite just to stay relevant Sarah, know that America is getting sick of you playing the victim card. You've over-played your hand and are TOO obviously transparent.
PS - do you know where your kids are?

It was evident to me that she relished attacking David Letterman. This is what she does best. After the election it was the "liberal media" that did injustice to her and her family. So why does she parade her children all the time?
Of course, David Letterman, made a reference to "Bristol" who was "knocked-up" by her boyfriend. After the birth of
Bristol's baby she then has her out there in the meadia as a
spokesperson who is now preaching abstinence. This woman is worse than "George W".

Tons of jokes have been made about her pregnant daughter , SHE is making this about her fourteen year old. But really, this is about Sarah and the slutty flight attendant getup joke. This was never about any of her daughters, it never is. This is just another example of how she exploits her family to appear Family Values Oriented and uses her family to promote her image.
That 14 year old daughter was not even at the game with her. Bill Maher, John Stewart and Stephen Colbert are going to have a FIELD day skewering her this week for this. Uh oh, all older men... better call The View!
June 15th, 2009 11:33 AM
I admit Letterman is way past his prime and should retire soon, and the joke was in poor taste (even if it is about her older daughter, like he said).
But Palin saying Letterman can't be trusted around her 14-yr old daughter is in poor taste and makes her no better than him. She's insinuating Letterman will have sex with her? C'mon! She sounds like such a fool. How does she get elected by Alaskans.
July 6th, 2009 5:12 PM
Any person with half a brain could easily figure this out. Letterman's writers weren't on the same page. One makes a crack about Palin's daughter being at the game, another assumes it was the older daughter, a joke is made, put on the cards and read by David. Bingo. An opportunity for Sarah Palin to blow the whole thing out of proportion to make David out to be a sick pervert while focusing attention on her poor, ever-picked-on-by-the-media family. Yet another chance to appear as the wilted bloom. Boo hoo.
Was the joke in poor taste? Sure. Should David review the material before the show? Sure. Is Sarah Palin craving attention? Absolutely. Go away, Palin. Your fifteen minutes have been up for quite some time.
