Apologies From Hell: Violent Pedophile Humor Dept.

Posted by: Laer at 06:33 am

avid Letterman has apologized for suggesting that Sarah Palin’s daughter “got knocked up” by Alex Rodriguez during the 7th inning stretch at a Yankee game.  For those of you who have been visiting Pyongyang, here is the original, er, joke:

The fact that Willow, 14, attended the game, not Bristol, 18, was highly publicized on New York media and was common knowledge from New York to SoCal – but Letterman would like us to think that the Palin-bashers on his writing team were unaware, explaining:

We were, as we often do, making jokes about people in the news and we made some jokes about Sarah Palin and her daughter … and now they’re upset with me….  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.

He then says he hopes he’s “cleared part of this up,” and graciously extends an invitation to Sarah Palin to be a guest on his show.  Why Sarah? Why not Bristol? Or Willow?

Let’s trust the flamingly liberal Letterman at his word (just pretend we’re fools who have suspended all knowledge of liberal behavior). Then we have to accept that making fun of the young (18) children of political candidates is acceptable.  Sasha and Malia, watch out; you could be next! Not. Ever. Redirecting the joke after the fact to Bristol protects Letterman from being a verbal pedophile, but it does not extend any modicum of good taste or decency to the man.

It’s hard to accept that no one on the Letterman team knew it was Willow at the game. This is almost certainly a weasley lie to cover up dispicable behavior – behavior that got a lot of laughs from his similarly dispicable audience.

    Deviant Loserman may not be a pedophile, but he accused Rodriquez of being one.  And a rapist as well.
     
     
    And there is no way he thought Willow Palin was there, there is no clear evidence that he is capable of thought.
     
     

  2. Larry Sheldon

    And others have mentioned elsewhere that one or another of the Palins should appear on his show.
     
     
    I say absolutely not!
     
     
    Deviant Loserman going to Rodriquez and to the Palins to apologize is an idea with some merit, but I would want Fox to handle the pool video.

    If the Palin girls go on any show, it should be Conan O’Brien’s.
    The only Palin that should up on the Letterman show is Todd. Or maybe Track.

  4. Larry Sheldon

    I would not allow any chile near Deviant Loserman.

    Letterman, the UNfunny one, has slumped to a new low!  HE is the only meaningful joke around late night TV…   Ick.

    Letterman not only attacted the Palin family as well as  A-Rod, how about the thousands of flight attendentswho routinly serve all of us with grace and dignity. The only thing slutty about this whole mess is the crudemouth these comments came from. I will never watch this unplesant ass again.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
