Open Advice to David Letterman

This silly “knocked up”story has more legs than it deserves and has re-energizing the once almost-dead Palin campaign.
David- Your writers screwed up. You told the right joke at the right time about the wrong kid. Offer a complete, no-nonsense, mea culpa apology tonight and END this fiasco now- before Saran and Todd exploit it to the point where she is back in the running again. PuLeeze!

I hate to tell you; she's back in the running. She's not committing to the run for governor of Alaska in 2012.

Once again the silence of the feminists is deafening.

What's the big deal?? If Imus said this about
Obama's daughters Im sure the left run media would "just want to move on and forget about it, It's only a joke". Statutory rape is so funny. Wow what a comedian that Letterman!! America is so out of touch....

...this Palin family did put themselves in the position to be made fun of..and Obama's kids appear to be normal with no drama, so there is no story there...BUT, as Charles said...David..please stop feeding this trainwreck and maybe she will go back and leave us all alone...

Peter,

Your remarks are sick. NO ONE puts themselves in a position to justify a thought of statutory rape on their own children. Do you have kids? How would you like the thought of a bunch of sick people laughing about them being raped while broadcasting on TV?? Again there is nothing funny about rape. All jokes have to have an element of truth for it to be funny. Letterman crossed a very sick line and for anyone to come to this mans defense says a lot about your own opinion on how society should view female children. "Obama's children appear to be normal? So you can't talk about raping them?

What is not normal is that you justify a vile thought of rape on a child being tolerated on national TV and how this should be swept under the rug and dismissed as a "train wreck" Put politics a few notches below your moral compass and I pray this changes your mind.

Robbie - blah, blah, blah. Go back under the rock with the rest of the self righteous conservatives. Nobody cares what you say, unless of course you are pointing a gun at us while you pray.

The "feminists" are not absent on this : http://www.now.org/issues/media/hall-of-shame/

Hey Root Beer...I wasn't going to respond to your mindless, thoughtless comments..as usual the wacky left can never debate the facts, you only know how to change the subjects and make personal attacks..as usual your side, views the Truth and Facts as Hate Speech...if you can't debate the issues, keep your mindless comments to yourself..ROOTBEER, REMINDER: You bring NOTHING to the table and your moms calling you to dinner..go eat..and don't forget to say Grace!!

Charles - how many comments is Robbie allowed? He's always making three or four, and the last ones are always lectures/rants aimed at someone who doesn't agree with him. Can we get some guidelines on what opinions Robbie will allow on this blog? He's the main reason I don't come here much anymore.

Robbie - sit down and shut up. The inteligent people (those of us who use good grammar and spelling) are talking. By the way, my mom's dead. Thanks for your mindless insult.

Bottom lines:
1. David Letterman fucked up.
2. Rush Limbaugh, Don Imus and many others (left and right)have also fucked up in this category.
3. Letterman is paying for this dearly, including among many who normally share his own political philosophy. Even being called out by N.O.W. (see link in above comments.)
4. As far as the “hate” comments go, there is enough to go around from both sides of the aisle on this story. Time to move on (although I'm sure many people won't).
Anyway, I'm turning off these comments and cleaning up the blog floor now.
