People are such bitches when it comes to stuff like this. It was a joke, get over it. I don't buy that. I understand he has freedom of speech and it's his job to be funny and push the envelope. But if he thinks he told a joke that was in bad taste, then it's his responsibility to man up and essentially say "I fucked up and told a joke that wasn't good taste. I'm Sorry." ~ Brian

Plus, why does the minority that doesn't think it's funny have to speak for the majority? You realize that off color jokes only get publicity because people get all pissed off and keep it in the news for weeks? This would've already been gone and long buried had they not made a stink about it.

I never would've heard anything about the joke if Palin hadn't been on the today show or whatever she was on campaigning about how it was so offensive. I don't think he should be required to apologize because others were offended. If that were the case, he'd have to apologize for most all of his jokes, because they're probably offensive to someone. If he thinks he crossed a line though, then he should apologize for that. ~ Brian

That apology was a canned apology that CBS/WorldWide Pants made him do. Comics never think they are crossing the line. That's what makes them good at what they do.

Letterman is an idiot, let him make himself look bad. stop helping him make you look bad.

That's what makes them good at what they do. nah he definently wanted to make it clear the joke was about bristol and not the 14 year old. Comics do care if people have the perception they are making jokes about child sex there would be no problem if bristol was the one to go to the game. but palin wanted to make a stink and hit the headlines so she made clear she believed the joke to be about an underaged girl. by the way she was in NY because Auburn, NY was having a founders day celebration or something which is where william seward was from and seward is the guy who founded alaska Last Edited By: ksc218 06/17/2009 10:27 PM.

It was letterman's way of stealing news from conan. Let's face it, letterman has shitty ratings compared to the tonight show. Palin draws huge crowds because she excites the conservative base. If Palin was a lib, she'd be a rock star cause she's a) pretty b) trendy c) a female. The republican elites hate her because she gets attention that they can't get. If John Frickin McCain can't win an election as the most moderate republican out there, none of these other moderates are either. Sorry Kraut, but the republican party that you want doesn't win elections. You run a true conservative in 2012 and they'll kill obama. It'd be so easy to critize him for gov't takeovers, out of control spending, and horrible foreign policy. Recent gallup poll shows 40% of the people identify themselves as conservatives vs. half the amount as liberals. The rest are moderates. All you need to do is expose the liberals for who they are....they tax, the spend, they expand gov't. Donny "T-bone" Righteous
