Forget Sarah coming onto the Letterman show.

If Dave has any guts, He'd invite Todd Palin on the Show.
Let Dave apologize to Todd, for trashing his 14 year old, and his wife.
I'd would actually tune in to Letterman for that show.
Heck, I'll bet the whole country would watch that exchange.

Dave Versus Todd.

Dave? are you listening? You need the ratings.

I thought the right only had bigots and sexists?

Looks like I was wrong on that one!

Hypocrites.

I don't understand why people get so up in arms about others poking fun at Sarah Palin and her family? The same people who do so get bent out of shape when others get defensive about Obama saying they worship him like he's the messiah or something.

Do the people who defend Palin see any difference between getting upset about people joking about her and those who get upset at people poking fun at Obama?

It's an honest question because I really want to know. (For clarity, I don't like Obama or Palin so don't go down that road)

On another note, why doesn't anyone get upset at all the other people David Letterman makes tasteless jokes about? What makes it any different. I'm sure you laugh when he makes a crude joke about Paris Hilton or Angelina Jolie's adopted children.

A joke is a joke and either everyone is off limits or no one is. You can't have it both ways. Sarah Palin is a flippin POLITICIAN for Crimeny's sake! Those people are prime fodder for EVERYONE! (and rightly so)

I got green money that says Willow will be knocked up before she reaches 16.

I also got green money that says Levi will split from Bristol before Sarah announces her candidacy next year and be stuck with child support.

Actually Sarah Palins family exemplifies the American family to a T.

It's very dangerous to hold yourself up as an example and be shown to have feet of clay, a lier and a hypocrite.

The dembs are praying for Sarah to run again.

The joke may have intended to be about the 18 year old, but she was not in NY. Therefore, the joke was and is about the 14 year old, regardless of any explanation.

Palin may have put her family in the spotlight. I would agree that may allow them to be scrutinized. But at what amount? This was a tasteless joke even if it were intended at the older girl. It's insulting and does nothing but create negativity.

It was classless and uneccessary. I find it hard to understand how people think it's acceptable.

Hem ...

Why do I always have to be the one that says ...

Who cares?

Sheesh!

I hate when ATS goes through TMZitis.

Ummm, what? His joke was obviously about the upstanding unwed dropout mother who's somehow preaching abstinence.

for a few days , for a few days

soon he will need another "ratings boost", but at whom's expense? his own?

ya it was about the 14year old

why does it matter anyway? this is just a sad ploy for ratings..nothing more, nothing less

Three words folks: Freedom Of Speech. If she doesn't like it, too bad. I think this is all BS designed (by her) to keep her in the public eye. Gods forbid we actually forget about some insignificant politico for more than a few weeks.

Chrono

Back to the topic, minus all the politics...

Just exactly how old does a guy have to be to bust the membrane between being a 'healthy guy' and a 'dirty old man'?

Following that, just exactly what sort of behavior defines a 'dirty old man' that is not exhibited by the younger 'healthy guy'?

Evidently, there is a threshold between sowing wild oats and just sucking on the oatmeal, that is less than defined.

Just curious...

Agreed, believe me, if that had been MY kids, they'd have to hire a whole squad of security guards and cover the doors with cement, just to try and keep me out. I don't think Letterman would be alive if given the chance.

Well, since you choose to abandon intelligent conversation in favor of pandering, allow me to point out how you're wrong in "my reasoning"

Well you kinda lost the whole "intelligent conversation" battle with your uncouth remarks in your first post in this thread. To me, I can't take you seriously after that kind of comment. You have a good day.
