But also not amused are flight attendents. Were they offended by Letterman's slur? "Yes – and I'm speaking as a MALE flight attendant here," said Ken Kyle, president of the 1,200-member Denver chapter of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA United Airlines. "We've fought the TV stereotype for so many years, and quite honestly, it's objectionable when you put it in light of (flight attendants' heroic actions during) 9/11 and more recently, the professionalism of the US Airways attendants during the emergency landing on the Hudson River."
Jokes and sexual innuendos take a long-term toll, said Kyle."They desensitize the public to the very important safety role we fill. Sure, we are sensitive to any comment we believe demeans a job we feel is important, especially the safety aspect of it." They also hit attendants in the pocket book, he said. "We face a lot of pressures – from the public and from the corporate level -- and to minimize and devalue (our) job classification makes it much more difficult for us to fight for a pay raise." People don't think about that, in part because attendants do their jobs so well. "But I bet if you asked the passengers on the Hudson River flight, they would have voted to give attendants a raise."

Knock it off.
Make fun of the buck tooth alleged comic that smeared Willow and Sarah, but attempting to denigrate his wife is -almost- as bad.
I didn’t know Letterman was married to a PIG.
Sarah Palin's daughter did nothing to be the recipients of Letterman's insults, and false accusations.
When I say she is pig, that is the truth not a false accusation.
We should rightfully let Letterman have it with “both barrels”. He earned that right be shooting off his perverted mouth on a public air wave. Sarah Palin’s daughter was the target of Letterman's idiocy and Mrs. Letterman had absolutely nothing to do with it. How do we know she hasn't torn him a new one already because of his stupidity? How do we know that she hasn't “thanked” him for making her and their son the target of ridicule and harassment?
Many of us profess to be Christians. Dragging an innocent party into the mess that her husband created, and then showering her with insults is not a very Christian thing to do. Anyone who says otherwise practices a brand of Christianity I am not familiar with.
Please ... let's take the high road on this and keep Mrs. Letterman and her son out of it. Letterman is fair game, and I say hunting season for him is open — figuratively speaking of course. I need to clarify that in case some libtard accuses me of inciting people to shoot Letterman.
Yes, thank you for that. I had an late uncle that was a STEWARD in the 40s no less, then flying in TWA Constellations international flights, survived a ditching. Exemplary record, then had a career repairing/rebuilding Huey helicopters during VN war. I don’t think I ever heard anyone make an untoward remark to him or about him...
I think the Left was just astounded when a drop dead gorgeous woman like Sarah came on the scene. She is smart and articulate. They saw a danger and set out to destroy her.
End of story.
I’m surprised he’s secure enough to marry... he really seems to hate women.
Looks like the “joke” is starting to backfire even more.
Maybe that’s why it took him until age 60+, although I think he may have been divorced once before he became famous, can’t remember & don’t want to Google him, lol.
Bet it was only b/c of the kid. He is pathetic. He needs to get off the air and do his racing biz, or whatever does not involve bashing teenaged girls.

That's funny.....LOL
Letterman has made wise cracks many times on his show about his thoughts on marriage which made many uncomfortable who did catch these reamrks and if you were his mate would not feel good about it!
That was years before he was married.
It was when Phils started appearing on DL show reminded DL to do the right thing!
Letterman is a nice man!
I like I said you and that other jerk are two peas in a pot!
Jusr as nasty as Letterman!
I did not start this attact on any freeper I am talking about what happen to Palin and the kind of being Letterman is and you two are taking an opportuinity vent you recentmenet towards a freeper who is Mormon instead of keeping your contempt on the Religion Thread!
From WIKI
“In 1975, encouraged by his then-wife Michelle and several of his fraternity brothers, Letterman moved to Los Angeles, California, with hope of becoming a comedy writer.”
More:
“In 1969, Letterman married Michelle Cook; the marriage ended by divorce in 1977.[43] He also had a long-term relationship with former head writer and producer on Late Night, Merrill Markoe. In fact, Markoe was the mind behind several Late Night staples, such as “Stupid Pet/Human Tricks”.
My friend’s daughter is a flight attendant, and I just passed along this article to her in e-mail. Thanks for posting it...
You should see my mailman. She’s a hottie!
