Better late than never...and he actually sounded sincere. I appears that the possibly of losing his job may have have been a motivating factor though. I thought Palin's acceptance was less than gracious....choosing to jab him when he comes with open hand...bad form all the way around.

You using 'wingnut' in a post is getting about as common as Harvey using 'Traitor'. You need to expand your vocabulary a bit.

Don't be obtuse. Moral superiority? Puh-lease. You making no sense whatsoever. Palin was running for second in command of this country, and was incensed that she was subject to the same media scrutiny and vetting that other nominees are. It was the first go around for her and the "double standard" horseh!t she continually whines about. "Gotcha politics" anyone? The woman is dumber than a bag of hammers, how about you get over yourself and just deal with it?
Looks like you're still not paying attention. Guess your kind is too busy throwing a pity party and trying to make political hay from it all. Nevermind that Letterman issued his first apology to the Palins a scant 3.5 hours after the joke was made. Nevermind that he's made repeated apologies and explained himself in a rational and believable manner, admitting fault and regret, and taking time to bash himself over it. But I won't enter into the fray of debating what constitutes "sincere" in your book, or his - it really doesn't matter. You don't like him, fine, we get it, don't watch his show. Beyond that, you're exemplifying the 'making of mountains from molehills' you were just complaining about.

I thought Palin's response to the joke was a little late, what for being so outraged and disgusted and all... Acting on opportunism works better if you plan a course of attack though I suppose.
Whatever. We all know (or should) he wasn't referring to the 14yr old daughter, which kinda removes the distasteful intent that would otherwise validate the incensed reactions of all these new found conservative champions of female honor.

Why do you believe this...do you have information to back this up or is this your imagination running amok?

Good link, and some very interesting tid bits there. :thumbsup: One of my favs :

Hey.. the democrats didn't say anything about the Iraq war before it started either. Does that make it OK then to you? What he said is either RIGHT or WRONG.. and what Sarah Palin has said or objected to in the past has absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

The problem is before the election she was in the spotlight so there was no need to complain and now she is trying to keep herself in the spotlight. It is all political. Don't get me wrong the joke was bad, but she is exploiting it. Just look at the words she uses when she discusses it. Instead of just accepting an apology like a normal person, it's 'on behalf of young women everywhere' and crap like that. She is trying to fan the 'cultural fires'. It's all political.

Hardly. I can make jokes about my family. You cannot. A joke I might tell about my family would get you into - well let's just say a considerable predicament.

Personally, I don't care if he was talking about the 14 year old. This is a fucking late night talk show. If you're actually offended, watch something else, even though I'm sure there was much more objectionable content than that airing on other stations at the exact same time, and a million worse things available on the Internet. It wasn't even borderline obscene. It was a joke, not a true reflection on the character of either daughter and Letterman is quite obviously not an advocate of statutory rape. Why anyone would honestly feel a surge of ire over this is beyond me.
If I actually cared about this absurdly trivial scenario, I'd be much more offended by Palin's publicity whoring and her claims that Dave is a sexual deviant.
you know the thing is, if I were recording for every idiot thing I said, i would be in real trouble. We have all said things that were crass, vulgar and just plain stupid and once he realized a lot of people were offended he was sincerely sorry.
