"One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game," Letterman said, "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.""

so people are now in an uproar over this, calling for him to be fired.


out of fairness to Don Imus, I agree

he won't be fired

6/15/2009 9:50:38 PM

people are going to get their socks wet with one thing or another anyway

this is on the same level as being upset about song lyrics

6/15/2009 9:51:00 PM

he wont and shouldn't be fired

6/15/2009 9:51:40 PM

joking about raping a 14 year old isnt worth being fired, but calling someone a "nappy headed hoe" is grounds?

No.

This thread sucks. Letterman won't and shouldn't be fired.

6/15/2009 9:54:31 PM

so he is referencing sarah and her 14 year old daughter at the game, yet isnt referring to the 14 year old?

nice try

6/15/2009 9:54:34 PM

i'd imagine the writer might be fired but that's the extent of it

6/15/2009 9:54:36 PM

he wasn't referencing the 14 year old because no one bothered to find out which daughter was at the game

no one gives a fuck

if I ask you to name one of Sarah Palin's daughters, which one are you going to name? the one that was on the news a shitload, did interviews with the media, and was on the COVER OF PEOPLE MAGAZINE? I bet if you don't go look it up you can't even name the 14 year old daughter right now.

OH NOOOOZ HIS JOKE WAS FACTUALLY INACCURATE

6/15/2009 9:57:51 PM

Letterman hasn't been funny or creative in 15 years

he'll probably contribute money to an anti-rape charity, apologize, kiss the ass of a rape victim, and be on his way

also, my dad is one of those who thinks letterman is a shithead for joking about this. he thinks rape is not something to joke about

Shut the fuck up.
Neither were wrong. You seem to think Imus shouldn't have been fired -- you're right.
But suggesting that "out of fairness" this precedent of being fired over questionable jokes should be established forever is fucking stupid.

OMG, ONE INNOCENT GUY GOT FIRED, SO ANOTHER SHOULD TOO

6/15/2009 9:59:43 PM

I too like Letterman more.

6/15/2009 10:00:11 PM

Well, those hos did have some nappy heads, and Sarah Palin is an attention whore raising daughters to be whores as well. I think the real victim is Alex Rodriguez, calling him a rapist for no good reason.

6/15/2009 10:00:11 PM

you shut the fuck up, pussy

6/15/2009 10:00:15 PM

also, letterman never, I repeat, never, joked about rape

being "knocked up" doesn't imply that it was forced on her at all. "rape" came from the Palin camp

a 14 year old being knocked up by an adult can only be rape

"joking about raping a 14 year old isnt worth being fired, but calling someone a "nappy headed hoe" is grounds? "

He wasn't joking about raping a 14 year old. I don't think most people knew which daughter Palin was there with (not that it's relevant to the joke), or how old she was, nor is this information pertinent to the joke. And it's clear the joke wasn't about "rape" in any way, shape, or form. This is just the spin the right is choosing to put on it for their own political gain, and you have been suckered in to their trap.

6/15/2009 10:02:10 PM

HE DIDNT KNOW WHICH ONE WAS THERE

HE ALSO ALREADY APOLOGIZED

joking about rape is funny? you may not like Palin but that bullshit is rediculous

YOUR ARGUMENT IS VALID SIR




except

... he wasn't talking about the 14 year old

and

... he wasn't talking about rape

Palin's comment about how she thinks it's a good idea to keep her 14 yr old daughter away from the 62 yr old Letterman doesn't imply rape at all.

i would love to know, based on the actual events, and the context of the joke, how people can fool themselves into believing he wasnt talking about the daughter palin brought to the game.

its not like they werent all over town for a few days, its not like they didnt have time to research it while writing the joke, and its not live like don imus.

The joke was a bit tasteless (shocker from Letterman, i know)

but the wrong response is to call Letterman a pedophile. It really, ironically, just validates the initial point of the joke being that palin is an out of touch twat. It further exemplifies as well how unprepared Palin is for national politics, and how boned the GOP is if this is their future.
