Also no mention of this “joke”.. keeping daughter away from Spitzer....I thought that was just as crude!
The only thing that matters is Letterman’s ratings and I do not think his ratings will be negatively effected.
When this first exploded, Letterman said that he was confused between the two daughters and would never make sexual jokes about a 14-year-old.
Now he is claiming he did not know anyone was with Palin at the game besides Giuliani. .
Letterman seems to me melting down. Palin shouldn’t say another word about it, even if asked.
10 Reasons Why I Don’t Watch David Letterman....
The "slutty flight attendant" crack is relatively tame for late night talk shows. I've heard Leno make countless "jokes" about Cheney's heart condition -- hardly a laughing matter, obviously. Both he and Letterman cross the line of decency on a regular basis.
It was a better apology than Bush ever got from CBS and Rather over those forged memos.......I feel like we’ve made progress. Now I can go back to completely ignoring Letterman which suits me fine........
I am a huge proponent of free speech. The market place should dictate what is tolerated and what is not.
Sharpton mounted an attack against Imus. It worked.
We have to start a push back. This is a small step.
Are much more important matters to attend to? Of course.
But, imho, to try to contain the media is a big deal.
I was going to make a crack about Letterman’s pace-maker but I’m not as hateful as he is so I won’t go there.
The only problem with this apology is that after he made the first error, and all the uproar ensued, he made the same error the following night.
How did he not know, after the first night, that Willow was not the daughter accompanying Governor Palin on this New York swing, when he made the crack about Willow being attractive to the Perv-Guv Elliot Spitzer?
By the terms of this apology, he had to have made the Spitzer joke with full knowledge, but went ahead anyway.
