Well, I must say I didnt expect that from him.
That sounds like a legitimate apology. I hope the Palin family is helped by this.
However, on the one hand it possibly was legitimate—he may not have known it was the 14 year-old Willow who was at the game, however, he is more likley simply upset with getting his facts wrong and assuming it was Bristol & that it is OK to take shots at an 18 year-old.
Frankly, as the mom of an 18-year old, I don’t appreciate the remark being directed at ANY of the Palin’s girls—regardless of the age, Letterman crossed the line IMHO.
He used to be funny, now he is really irrelevant.
He not only called Sarah a Slut, he also called all Flight Attendants sluts. When are they going to get outraged at him as well?

Anything short of that is just words.
Exactly!
The left is still talking about Rush calling Chelsea Clinton the "family dog" when the truth is that the engineer put the wrong photo on the screen and Rush couldn't even see it. Rush IMMEDIATELY apologized on the air and later apologized in person to the Clintons.
It's possible that the ones on his private jet are sluts.
You got that right! They would be making digs at Romney being Mormon, Newt cheating on his first wife, Crist getting married, etc........
She scares them to death!Heehee......
My take on Todd is that he is a real man, with real man instincts to protect his wife...

Right on the mark! Airline stewardess’ should be screaming their heads off.
How about Spanish speaking baseball players? Are they all searching for 14 yr. olds to “knock up”??? What did the so called joke say about ARod?
So it was also a racist joke.
rigggghhhhhhhhht...
exactly
Has anyone done a top 10 reason to stop watching Letterman?
Has anyone done a top 10 reason to stop watching Letterman? He's a liar should be #1
As one who is in David Letterman’s league when it comes to age, it never ceases to amaze me how the mouth can literally become a loose cannon. We’re going to PC oursevles to death if we don’t lighten up a little. My reaction to crude and offensive speech: let it die. No need to root around in it like pigs.

I agree with you...I was responding to the issue of “rape”.
What I think he’s trying to do is wriggle out of the fact that he made a joke about statutory rape.
So he’s pretending he “meant” it for Bristol, and that way he kills 2 birds w/ one stone.
He can still take a shot at the 18 yr. old for being a teenage mom, and he can pretend he wasn’t talking about rape.
I like that one. Todd walking on the set “Hey Letterman!, ya got something to say, say it to MY face”.
That's what I'm thinking. Settle this the old fashioned way with Letterman crying about his broken nose. Then he can do a Top Ten reasons why assholes shouldn't call other peoples wives sluts.
NAILED IT!
There is nothing legitimate about this sorry excuse for an apology. The network and sponsors have been inundated with complaint calls, that is the only thing that made this piece of human garbage attempt to offer the feeblest excuse for a statement.
