David Letterman responds to flap over Sarah Palin jokes

Taping tonight's episode of The Late Show, David Letterman took a few minutes to respond to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who called him "pathetic" in a radio interview after he made her and her family the butt of a recent Top 10 list. The late-night host had drawn particular fire from Palin and some pundits for a joke about one of Palin's daughters being impregnated by New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez during a trip to Yankee Stadium. Camp Palin apparently took the joke to be a crack against Palin's 14-year-old daughter Willow, who had recently attended a Yankees game, but Letterman insisted today that the real target was 18-year-old daughter Bristol.

“We were, as we often do, making jokes about people in the news and we made some jokes about Sarah Palin and her daughter [Bristol]... and now they’re upset with me…” Letterman says on tonight's show. "These are not jokes made about her 14-year-old daughter. I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl.... Am I guilty of poor taste? Yes. Did I suggest that it was okay for her 14-year-old daughter to be having promiscuous sex? No." Saying he hopes he's "cleared part of this up," Letterman extended an invitation to Palin to come on the show as a guest.

I agree, he knew darn well Willow was with her, NOT Bristol. And hey you loser, that was NOT an apology!

This, is another example as to why I cannot stomach the man, or his show. He is just a sleazy little man.

“HEY DAVE...FORGET INVITING SARAH ON....INVITE TODD ON...YOU POS... “

He would never do that...

Then he’d get a lesson in how a REAL man defends his family’s honor, and that would just be to un-PC.

Thanks for posting the info! David Letterman is a sleeze bag who use to hit on flight attendants all the time(probably still does). I know someone he hit on years ago and he got turned down. She said he did it all the time with other attendants and was always turned down...lol. So he has this animus thing going about flight attendants now. So when he ‘jokes’ about Palin looking like a ‘slutty flight attendant’, he is really just venting his animus towards her and flight attendants in general.

TRUE STORY FOLKS!

These are not jokes made about her 14-year-old daughter. I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl....

So, Mr. Letterman, there is an age at which it is appropriate to make rape jokes about women?


Exactly! It is almost even more pathetic that he is basically saying it would have been OK had he made thecomments about the 18-year old Bristol. Just a disgusting old pervert! Really sad too that his perv audience found it funny too—Idiocracy movie in real life!

go f##k yourself, Dave.... I'm sure that Palin would do an interview to boost his ratings.

He had to take a paycut to keep his pathetic gig, instead of having to earn a living as a comic.

Let's see... stand in front of people and read teleprompter, yak it up with musician/sidekick and then push movie tickets and books with guests....

Yeah... tough way to make a living DAve. How about you ask Todd to take you out in the Alaskan bush like a man and talk about making jokes about his 18 year old daughter... ya whiney, little b#tch.

Now go buy some oats and go feed your wife.

Letterman extended an invitation to Palin to come on the show as a guest.

If she accepts this invitation there is no way in hell I will vote for her in 2012.

Does anyone have an EMail address for the fool himself? He acts like his comments are OK if it is about an older girl.
This guy is so yesterday’s news.

“Palin to come on the show as a guest”

In his dreams.

Goes to show you who can really drive ratings and it’s not Letterman. I hope she declines and never mentions him again. Letterman is already hanging by a thread, that’s why he did it. For at least a month the libtards will be tuning in even if they’ve never bothered with his fifth rate show before.

Regards

I smell blood! I just luv how the Palins turned it completely around on him by making it a Willow issue. Turned the guy into a pedophile right before his frickin' lyin' eyes! That's the way we need to fight, boys and girls!

I went over to the POS Letterman’s site and posted my comments, and told them my tv will never be on CBS again. If all conservatives get together and stop supporting this nonsense, they may all go under. I will take the time to tell his sponsers the same.

Blessings, Greg

He was making it about Willow in the first place. It was always about Willow. Willow was the only daughter attending the events in NY. Bristol wasn’t. On all photos and videos of these NY tour, you see Todd, Sarah and Willow.

Letterman knew it, the whole media knew it.

Letterman specifically NEVER said Bristol, but just “Palin’s daughter”. It was clearly Willow.

No excuses Dave! Man up and apologize without any reservation, if and but!!!

Yep. He continued last night with a “joke” insinuating that Willow is a prostitute.

They should ONLY accept the invitation if they are going to kick his sorry butt.

Everything else would be a push for Dave’s ratings.

All he had to do was man up and apologize...what a POS. Time to contact sponsors...I mean it...We’ll do nothing, like we always do. Let’s start making jokes about kidnapping his son...now that’s really funny, isn’t it?
