Did he apologize to flight attendants for calling them slutty? And just because he thought that he was referring to Palin's 18 year old daughter, does that make her fair game for sexual jokes about being knocked up by Alex Rodriguez during a baseball game?
Letterman has yet to say he was a total jerk and that he went WAY over the line in his attempt to ridicule Sarah Palin by attacking her family. He is such an arrogant SOB that he will NEVER issue a real apology. NEVER.
You won’t get his being way over the line by attacking Sarah.
The joke(s) he told were sexist trash. No doubt. And he doesn’t really see the fault in either one. But for the perception that he was making a joke about child rape, he apologized.
His show ceased being funny the minute he brought his politics into it. He treated GW like crap years ago, and really is a jerk. Maybe now, he will lay low on the Sarah Jokes. The Barracuda showed her fangs, and she won. That’s enough for me to call it a day on the controversy.
