Dave:
You crossed the line. Your ascerbic politically-motivated humor is no longer funny-- it is too dark and personal. Your half-baked apology that really wasn't an apology was way too weak to matter. Any parent of any daughter-- 18 years of age and 'knocked up' or 14 years of age-- would be offended deeply. And you are a parent as well... how could you not know? In the name of political humor you crossed the line and are too proud to apologize. Thank you for reminding us what a class act Leno is-- and the other true pros Carson and Paar and Steve Allen before them-- that real wit, carefully presented so as not to cross the line, can be well-meaning and ridiculous without being personally offensive. Dave, you, and your Liberal buddies are falling to the lowest common denominator. It's not pretty. Elizabeth Hasselbeck is correct: You are an 'ignorant jerk'. |

the controversy is the top ten list.
*********************************** click on link below: top ten list --"sarah palin in nyc." CBS | Late Show with David Letterman : http://lateshow.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/ the controversy is the top ten list. *********************************** click on link below: top ten list --"sarah palin in nyc." CBS | Late Show with David Letterman : http://lateshow.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/ ************************************************* today news Sarah Palin attacks David Letterman over 'sexually-perverted' joke letterman response: 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," Letterman said. The ratings-conscious comedian even made Palin an offer: "I would like you to consider coming to New York City - you and Todd as my guests, or leave Todd at home - I'd love to have you on the show. It'd be exciting." Don't set the TiVo. "It doesn't matter whether he was talking about Willow or Bristol, what he said was unacceptable," responded Palin spokeswoman Sharon Leighow. Palin was in New York to receive an award for her advocacy for children with disabilities. Her family was invited to Sunday's Yankees game by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani. msaul@nydailynews.com http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2...0I9A0hdJe&D http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2...0I9A0hdJe&D http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2...late_night.html This post has been edited by Daisy Lee Myers: Jun 11 2009, 02:22 PM |

Making a comment about an 18 year old adult daughter is one thing, now in Rush's case he had to pick on a 12 year old Chelsea Clinton. Wonder how many Republicans were appalled by that?? So once again its only a problem if the Republicans are being picked on. This post has been edited by LancNewbie: Jun 11 2009, 02:30 PM |

Letterman's woes..
started with #2 of top ten list.. *bought makeup from Bloomingdale's to update her"slutty flight attendant look." ***************************** TOP TEN HIGHLIGHTS OF SARAH PALIN'S TRIP TO NEW YORK 10. Visited New York landmarks she normally only sees from Alaska 9. Laughed at all the crazy-looking foreigners entering the U.N. 8. Made moose jerky on Rachael Ray 7. Keyed Tina Fey's car 6. After a wink and a nod, ended up with a kilo of crack 5. Made coat out of New York City rat pelts 4. Sat in for Kelly Ripa. Regis couldn't tell the difference. 3. Finally met one of those Jewish people Mel Gibson's always talking about 2. Bought makeup from Bloomingdale's to update her "slutty flight attendant" look 1. Especially enjoyed not appearing on Letterman ***************************************************** Letterman's woes... followed by Letterman referring to palin's daughter being knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.. link below: YouTube - Letterman Jokes About Palin's Daughter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE7RqubVNUo This post has been edited by Daisy Lee Myers: Jun 11 2009, 02:56 PM |

What does the thread have to do with Orielly, Rush, or the political parties? edited to add, never mind, I mangaged to miss the Sarah Palin part. ( c'mon 03, reading is fundamental) I see how the thread got "politicalized" This post has been edited by O311mc: Jun 11 2009, 02:36 PM |

Edit, ok thanks for the clarification And btw, watched the clip A1 posted, he didn't mention rape at all? I mean its one thing if thats the way he said it, but i'm pretty sure he said "knocked up" not rape. You know there is a difference??? This post has been edited by LancNewbie: Jun 11 2009, 02:41 PM |

Good grief, how can anyone condone crude comments about any political figure's children? Their children aren't running for anything. It doesn't matter to me which party they belong to - I wouldn't do it.

Now going after a minor child, thats just down right wrong. Hell i remember reading stuff about what was said about Amy Carter back in the day too. Even Obamas daughters. Talk about low blows.
