but watching him fake laugh at everything Eddie Murphy said last night (only some of it was actually funny) makes me think 11:30 will eventually force him to completely homogenize himself. Conan's jokes are definately better, but Dave is a more interesting personality, in my opinion. I'm betting a year from now David will get crankier and edgier and Conan will get more and more bland. I'll stick with Conan for the time being though.

Letterman will outlive Leno, guaranteed, Quadruple bypass and all. Leno is not a fan of comedy, and was in it for the money from the beginning (to finance his car collection). Letterman's legacy has been defined by the thousands of comics who he has influenced (Stewart, O'brien, etc.) Letterman's show will outlast Leno's amateur 10 o'clock show on NBC, guaranteed. The real man has won. Jeff Zucker and JaY Leno will die a fiery death sucking each others penis. They deserve to die in hell. I will kill them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NBC should have just left things alone for at least three more years. Fallon is an insane and unprepared idiot. Will someone please give TOM GREEN a talk show on a major network (yes, I know about tomgreen.com).

I love Conan, but the last few nights have been painful. It seems he's really affected by that focus group he dead. I say fuck the old fogies who don't "get" Conan. The man is a Harvard-educated genius and one of the funniest men alive. As for The Tonight Show, I honestly stopped caring when Carson left. So I'd have been happy to have Conan keep going in his old timeslot forever. I want him to succeed, but not if he has to someone he isn't, pandering to the old morons and other 11:30 idiots who think he's untalented because they're too stupid to understand his humor. If he starts to lose himself, I hope he bails on The Tonight Show and starts a new 1230 show where he can be himself again. Oh, and by the way: FUCK YOU CONAN HATERS! GO MASTURBATE TO YOUR JAY LENO HEADLINE BOOKS, YOU FUCKS! Doc

He's the only guy who could replace Letterman on the Late Show. He would appeal to a more cerebral audience and still be able to maintain that much needed goofy hip comedy that will bring in the kids. He's actually the perfect replacement.
Palin's daughter is a slut jokes

06:17:48 PM
Letterman has long since left anything approaching commedy when he went on a weird and venal tirade over of all things a daughter of a potential President of the United States. It's a sad day when attacking a young girl passes for humor when in fact all it is is him just being a lapdog for Obama.

I like all of them to varying degrees. I usually go by the guests but when it's a tie, I'll probably go with Dave and Craig.

I was expecting Jimmy Fallon to either get fired or get better by now. I don't know if you guys saw it but the interview with Paul Simon was painful to watch. He had his back to Jimmy for most of it and Steve Martin basically did the interview. And Jimmy kept lurching over the desk to try to get in on the conversation. He just doesn't seem to get that stars come on to promote and talk about themselves. It's not a first date. If someone says they did something he has to say "me too" and starts telling his own anecdote. Someone's gonna punch him in the face or walk out. I just know it.

Joking about raping the Palin's 14 year old daughter
by rainbowtrout1265
Jun 10th, 2009
07:50:23 PM
Yeah, it's great "pissing off the Palins" by making jokes about raping their 14 year old daughter. Just hilarious...
Letterman is just a bitter old fuck at this point
by Big Dumb Ape
Jun 10th, 2009
07:52:25 PM
Seriously, I have no problem with any American going into a voting booth and voting their own way -- hey, that's Democracy in action, right? And I have no problem on the various NEWS channels with the assorted talking heads doing their bit, from both sides of the aisle.

But during the latter part of the Bush years -- and DEFINITELY during this last election -- Letterman just decided he would be the crankly of Leftist fuck he's become on TV, to the point that he thinks REPEATEDLY making fun of Palin's teenage daughter counts as humor. Yet funny thing about Dave -- when Biden's daughter was accused of coke use recently (and an ex friend was trying to peddle the tape of her doing her blow), you didn't see Dave making fun of her, now did you? This comes on top of the fact that he became unhinged when McCain cancelled that one appearance and Letterman felt the need to cry about it every night till McCain showed up and apologized -- which frankly probably cost McCain a few votes for sucking up to Letterman that way.

I'm actually old enough to remember when Letterman was on NBC during the DAY and starting out. He was off-beat and somewhat funny, but frankly he also never recovered from the NBC snub of picking Leno as the TONIGHT SHOW host. Like a petulant child, he's been a total ass ever since -- and I've met people who've worked at the Letterman show and they say he's a total cock behind the scenes, too.

I agree that Jon Stewart would be the likely and best person to take over, to transition the show and give CBS a better, more vibrant and hip show to go against Conan. I think the idea that Letterman beat Conan the other day was due to the guest line up...not to mention, Conan is obviously still getting his TONIGHT SHOW sea legs under him. But a year from now, I'm sure that once again we'll be talking about how Letterman STILL can't beat the TONIGHT SHOW, at which point I'm sure Dave will likewise still be doing tacky, tasteless jokes about Palin because that's literally just how stale and lame Letterman has since become. Frankly, Letterman needs to watch out -- the younger, hipper crowd that weren't "old farts" that didn't like Leno, so they wanted LATE NIGHT instead, are very likely to migrate over to Conan anyway just for him being younger and hipper and more fun. So, I expect Letterman's numbers to start showing an attrition over the course of the year anyway...

You and about 3 or 4 other people(perhaps?) here need to look up this funny little word called "hypocrisy". It's a great word, even though about 40 percent of American doesn't know about it or chooses to ignore it. But I'll save you some time and explain why the Palin jokes were funny. You see, sometimes big people tell the world, sometimes even through laws, that what they do OR want TO do is bad or even EVIL. Yeah, I know. But then they do similar or even the same stuff at home. But instead of feeling compassion or gaining some understanding about human nature or how hard just living a real life can be for "the little people" they just go on talking in public about things like morality. And when they get a chance, they take advantage of dumb people with good intentions, advancing their career by lying to voters to make them feel safe or comfortable instead of telling the truth and calling out "dumb as a sack of stones" ideas when they're presented to them. Sometimes with LAWS!! YAY! Now, when you have a brain, sometimes this is VERY, VERY funny. Especially if you choose to not put a bullet in your brain because it feels like the end of the world is just around the corner and the stupid people are taking over.

Gotilk: Your nonsensical ramblings really make you sound dumb. What does Sarah Palin having morals have to do with a 60 year old man on national tv joking about raping her 14 year-old daughter? Explain that, or at least how they are karmically linked as you foolishly imply. Big Dumb Ape: Also, would Stewart want to leave the Daily Show? He gets to take the clown nose off to make ideological rants and then put the clown nose back on to escape any sort of criticism. An opening monologue on a national show isn't going to escape scrutiny as much.

"Joking about raping the Palin's 14 your old daughter" & "a weird and venal tirade"

What Letterman said?

"...It was an uncomfortable situation when during the seventh inning stretch Alex Rodriguez knocked up her daughter"

I'm sorry, but didn't that bitch just run for vice president on the tit of "family values" while her unwed teenage daughter was knocked up?

Having values doesn't mean that I, or my family for that matter, live up to them every day. Values are what we strive for.

But you knew that, you just wanted to take a cheap shot at Sarah Palin because all your buds think it's funny.

If you think joking about knocking up a 14 yr old on national television is funny, then you are one sad individual.

I love some of the monologues and his sketches, like Andy and Conan boating down the 'L.A.' river... meaning our enormous drainage ditches. But when he's interviewing, I've noticed that he seems very nervous and there's a stiffness in the air... even the lighting, it's like something about it being "The Tonight Show" means it has to be overly 'showbizzy', which I can't fucking stand. He's like a eunuch out there. Also, the guests seem to be giving him little respect. I've counted at least three times so far where they were downright dismissive of him, David Duchovny being one. And I honestly don't blame them, he's sitting funny (like three feet higher but leaning towards them near the corner of the desk, awkward looking, and he's completely sideways), and he laughs a lot in a nervous, "don't say that!" type manner. I also hate the constant jokes of, "I'd like to keep this job," anytime someone says something even REMOTELY sexual. Are the NBC execs REALLY that fucking insane to think you can neuter his humor and have the same audience as Jay? Would they really fire him because a GUEST made some dirty jokes or off-color remarks? Even then, it doesn't make any sense, because he does some pretty adult material in the monologue sometimes... I don't know, I just find the whole thing unbalanced so far.

In case anyone else was having trouble putting it together. And sitchen, I think it's great that you strive for values. The thing is, values are what we VALUE. If your example doesn't live up to what you expect from others, leave the preaching of values to others. Or maybe reconsider the judgments you masquerade as "values". Because that's what I see more of today, judgments with very few values. Guess what?! Hate and pride are not values. Matter of fact, I'm pretty sure historically they're sins. Where's the humility? The charity? The grace? On one hand I DO think it's BS to expect politicians to be perfectly moral people with no history and no past mistakes. Mistakes are what build character, not break it down or destroy it. That seems to be forgotten come election time. But if you're going to buy into that whole thing and play that game, make sure your own house is in order before you start telling the rest of us how important "values" are. Leave it to the evangel... oh bad choice. Leave it to politicians who have not lived a real life like the rest of us. Because, you know, they really get it. They know what it's like for us. Right?

funny. Unless the parent of said 14 year old is the poster child for the family values/abstinence/anti-birth-c ontrol/anti-sex-education party. Then it's FUCKING HILARIOUS! You people are trying to pass off a fake controversy and anyone with half a brain sees through it as if it were an American drug policy. It's transparent, moronic and stinks of talking point. Which is kinda like what Ann Coulter's breath smells like in the morning, if you need a point of reference.

I have my hunches that Letterman comes to the studio these days without as much reading the monologue beforehand. This is on par with Sarah Silverman's "I love chinks": an unfunny but ultimately benign bit amplified by marginal political hacks yearning for facetime on Fox News or MSNBC.

Late night TV is so good right now, I need a DVR that records 4

Conan was my favorite, and I think he's been doing pretty well at 11:30. Dave was an old sentimental favorite, but he seemed to lose it a while back. Well, for those of you who haven't tuned in laely, he's sort of changed his persona since getting married, and become more of a cranky old grump. Believe it or not, this actually serves to make him funny and edgy again. Seriously, I don't know how it works, but he's been hilaious and on a really hot streak This leaves Jimmy Kimmel unrecorded and unwatched by me, despite the fact that it seems to be a pretty funny show that sometimes has really good guests. The Stewart/Colbert block on Comedy Central is always worthwile. Thankfully they rerun them a few times over the following day, because there's just no way for me to watch it at 11:30 these days. There's no more dead weight on late night TV. Help us enjoy it, DVR manufacurers and cable companies! Also, as an aside, Jimmy Fallon has been unbelievably good at 12:30. I bitched and bitched and bitched when they hired him, and I'll happily eat crow here: He was born to host a talk show, he's got the best writers in late night, the best band in late night, and his show just has an energy to it that I'm not sure I've ever seen on a talk show. I'm now a Jimmy Fallon fan, something I really never thought I'd say.

They've always phoned in the sketches on his CBS show, whereas Conan has had inspired sketches almost since the beginning. His old staring contests with Andy still kill me. Some guy standing behind Conan in a bathrobe brushing his teeth with toothpaste from a turkey's beak. . . that's when I became a lasting fan. And I don't think Letterman has ever had a skit as inspired as Tom Selleck smothering his own mustache. I'm glad Letterman's hanging around, though - he's sharp and a good interviewer. Better than Leno, who was just amiably bland.

I mean, this whole Palin thing is embarrassing, and not to Palin. I always used to like crusty grumpy cranky Dave, but now, I think he needs to have his dentures adjusted. Surely ill-fitting mouthwear is the reason he's saying so many stupid things. I'd hate to think his BRAIN is coming up with them.

Make whatever jokes you want about Palin, she's a public figure. Her kids, and the kids of every other politician, are not. The Palins didn't make Bristol a big story, the tabloids and the networks did. Palin isn't a hypocrite, she's a parent. As I said, make any joke you want about her, just try to make them funny for a change. Undisguised contempt and hate for a woman who dares not to be a liberal is not a joke.

If some right wing guy made a rape joke about Obama's kids, he would have been tarred and feathered, lost his job, and probably arrested. But it's okay for some over the hill douchebag to do the same thing to Palin's kids because he is on the left. I understand Letterman offered Palin and her husband a guest spot on his show. If I were Palin's husband, I would accept and then knock Letterman's false teeth down his throat. Not that would be good television. And by the way may I remind the liberals they have won. You have the white house, congress and the house. You are in charge. Now let's see what YOU can do with the country. Let the hate go, let the bitterness go, it's okay now libs. You won!

I never knew the Spitzers and Palins hung out together. You would think the NY Post would have been all over it.

Since I watching BBTN (or was it Sports Center?) and missed both Letterman and O'Brien, and so the so-called top 10 list, I just assumed the joke was about the daughter who had been pregnant out of wedlock. She was probably at home with her infant anyway and missed the game. Guess the Letterman writers blew it.

I loved Letterman until shortly after he went to CBS. He just lost his flair he used to have. Political jokes are part of being in public office, but I've noticed the past couple years that Letterman doesn't just make political jokes. He really takes stabs and seems quite angry. Comedians like that aren't funny. Do I think its the end of the world that he made a joke that was in very bad taste...no. I do think it was messed up because like someone else said, you just don't say that stuff about a 14 year old, no matter how much you hate her mom. I'd love to see the liberal tolerance for someone taking pot shots at Obama's kids. That's where the hypocricy lies. Letterman should just quit his show and go on MSNBC...he would fit in well there.

And idiot conservatives have made fun of Michelle Obama - remember Fox News' (ha! "news") "Barack's Baby Mama" graphic? Or the "angry black woman" label she was pinned with during the campaign. Racial humor is hilarious, isn't it?! Dave was clearly wrong to involve a 14 year old girl in what passes as his "jokes" these days, but conservatives whining about dbl standards are just ridiculous. Of COURSE there's dbl standards! Everywhere! Liberals certainly don't have a monopoly on it AT ALL! And it's all stupid! Those conservatives beating Dave's ass about this certainly didn't raise a stink when Chelsea Clinton was called fat or when the "Barack the Magic Negro" came out. Come on, you freaking hypocrites.

The only hypocrite in this story is Letterman himself, mocking an unwed mom - just like the mother of his own kid! Jerk. He didn't make a joke about Bristol as her own person, only as the daughter of Sarah Palin. He also wasn't smart enough to figure out which daughter was in town. That's the kind of rookie error the left seizes upon when a conservative does it. You libs should examine the comments you make about Palin and her daughters, with the constant and violent references to rape, whores, and sluts etc. They say a lot about you and your supposedly progressive politics.

And like most people you misuse the word hypocrite. A hypocrite is someone who PRETENDS to have certain standards, beliefs etc. yet acts opposite. A person who holds high standards, morals, ethics... and then falls short of those stated goals (which is EVERYBODY)is not a hypocrite. Just human.

And lastly, the Palins were in town with their 14 year old daughter. Dav'es joke was about their their daughter visiting NY with them. Some homework should have been done. Todd Palin said “Any 'jokes' about raping my 14-year-old are despicable." If you're not down with that then you either don't have kids or simply have no class.

Evidently there are many of you who don't get it. For your benefit, the elements are as follows:

1) Sarah Palin is a proponent of, has campaigned on, and continues to espouse, abstinence-only education (among numerous other conservative moral issues)

2) Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol is a national spokesperson for abstinence

3) Sarah Palin allowed her underage daughter's boyfriend to spend the night in said daughter's bedroom

4) Bristol Palin became an unwed teenage mother

5) Alex Rodriguez is a notorious man-whore

6) Letterman suggested that, when the Palin family attended a Yankees game, one of their daughters had been impregnated by Alex Rodriguez

That is the joke: the discrepancy between the Palin's beliefs and their actions, and the absurdity of a baseball player inseminating a fan in the middle of a game.

And it SHOULD have gone without saying for the love of christ, but Letterman was referring to BRISTOL Palin in the joke, not Willow. It's perfectly valid to criticize him for not doing the research, but is that really crucifixion-worthy? And it should have doubly gone without saying that anyone who calls this a rape joke is a sensationalist, incendiary fool.

I honestly believe they thought Bristol, not Willow, was with Palin.

It's just not his style, never was, going back more than 25 years. "Slutty" Palin, yes. Statutory rape, no. I say this as someone who watched Letterman for two decades before I started going to bed early.

Good to see you too, Dennis. *Hat tip.* And you're right about Bristol/Willow, here's what Dave said per Newsweek: "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. I mean, look at my record. It has never happened. I don't think it's funny. I would never think it was funny. I wouldn't put it in a joke....All right, so there, I hope I've cleared part of this up. Am I guilty of poor taste? Yes. Did I suggest that it was OK for her 14-year-old daughter to be having promiscuous sex? No."

fine, stick with "irony" then as the reason the story becomes fodder for the topical humor profession. But if the problem is abortion and teen pregnancy, and "abstinence only" is clearly inadequate (as evidenced by the very biography of one of the principle's most forceful public defenders), then continuing to assert that it will solve the problem is absolutely faulty. Thus, a person who insists they intend to solve national and international problems, but demonstrates they lack the will or ability to reason effectively, should absolutely expect to be made fun of. Of course, they can't reason effectively so probably can't see the obvious coming. But whatever, I'm bored again. The point is - Watch Colbert!

Joking about a single mother having extramarital sex with a second man is hardly the same as portraying Obama as a stereotyped n-word. Bristol is presenting herself as an adult, so she can be treated like one by those who comment on such things. If she can't deal with being treated as an adult, she needs to get out of the public eye, I think. If the evidence comes up that Biden's daughter did the blow, I'd say she's fair game.

As a reference for all of this, look back to the first few seasons of SNL. They often tripped over the good taste line, unfortunately. But when they walked it carefully, there was some of the best comedy of the '70s. It's all about being thoughtful.

Ah, I know when someone uses the word "retard," there is some high octane idiocy on its way. You did not disapoint.

Willow was at the Yankees game, not Bristol. Willow is fourteen. this has been pointed out to Letterman. he has had no sense of embarrassment about the implication he was referring to willow instead of Bristol.

regardless, neither Bristol now Willow are fair game just because their mother is a public figure. That was the rationale everyone honored about Chelsea Clinton and she was the president's daughter--a much hihher profile status than daughter of a losing Veep candidate.

Todd Palin ought to beat the living snot out of Letterman with alex Rodriguez standing in line waiting for his turn to take a couple whacks himself.

I never said rape was the premise for the joke, it obviously isn't. Joking about the kids of politicians has always been a no-no in late night tv.

Making those kind of cracks involving kids lowers the tone of valid discourse. (Insert intercourse jokes here)

I think a little more than a casual comment that the Biden daughter did coke would be appropriate. The Monica talk didn't get rabid until she started telling detailed stories and offered up the dress, if I recall correctly. But my memory is bad, so I may be wrong.

I don't find it intellectually dishonest to say that Bristol, an 18-year-old mother, is presenting herself as a young adult. I tried to be an adult at 18, even if I was still a bit of a kid. My mother certainly presented herself as a young adult when she married my dad at 18 and when she had her first child at 19. Does Bristol come off as fully formed? No, but she *does* present as an adult trying to act as a mentor to younger girls. Given, however, that we treat people as kids well into their twenties - with men acting like high school boys, living on video games and beer - and call adult women "girls" in their 30s, and that this seems ridiculous to me, probably means I'm skewed out of the mainstream.

She responded...did you see? It's fucking high school people. Whether you agree with Dave or Sarah..this is what we get with out modern politicians...the need (perceived or not) to step into the idiot ring with fucking comedians. Comedians!!!

Recent history shows that Palin isn't the only one to face these types of 'attacks' but yet she's happy to play the 'I have the last word!' game just like a child. McCain himself insults Chelsea Clinton when she was quite young (14 I think) so let's not pretend it's the big mean liberal juggernaut (hah!) that's mercilessly attacking Palin. (McCain later apologized)

Plus Letterman, while a jackass, apparently did a large bit saying he was NOT referring to the 14 year old but since adulthood has gone the way of the fucking dodo in this country's voluntarily idiotic populace, nobody believes it and now people think he's a pedophille? The Palin's even implied it in their juvenile response...."Keep Willow away from Dave" as if he's actually going to what? Grope her? Are you kidding with this mickey mouse bullshit?

Holy shit man...what's happened to this country lately? What's next? Wrestling matches? Celebrity boxing? How trite is this bullshit gonna get?! From Dave we expect it, he's a 'was funny 15 years ago' comedian and nothing more..Palin's the fucking governor of Alaska fer Cookiemonster's sake!

It doesn't matter if he meant to ridicule the older daughter, he shouldn't have done it at all. It's also a sign of real laziness that they didn't bother to research the joke properly and find out which kid was in town, they knew she has 5.

The 'rape' part comes if you think he did mean the 14-year old, she's under the age of consent.

Look up the definition of 'hypocrite' - it does not mean what you think it means.

The end result will be a continued erosion of Dave's audience and a possible appearance by Palin on Conan, probably during sweeps.

No, not your joke, that was as dumb and misguided as Letterman’s. What’s hilarious is that you think making a joke in poor taste based on Letterman’s life following Dave’s poor-taste joke based on the Palins somehow puts me in my place. Congratulations, you proved my point:

1) Dave’s joke was based on the factual backgrounds of the people involved and invoked irony

2) Your joke was based on the factual background of Dave, and

3) You, and the knee-jerk reactionaries like you, are a complete idiot.

Not terribly surprising, I know, but there you have it. Keep up the great work, champ! (Although bear in mind that your joke did NOT involve irony and is therefore not a joke in the same sense. Next time, try for something like “Dave’s psycho stalker spent all of his/her adult life campaigning against killing elderly grandmothers, until… whoopsie!”).

Forget the politics, I think its kind of insulting that the Palin's would throw it out there with such vehemence that it is a given the joke was about raping their underage daughter.

It is obviously not, and they know that, and anyone defending the Palins on those grounds is either being willfully ignorant as a rhetorical defense, or you're stupid.

If you want to say Dave was over the line for making a sexual joke about a politician's daughter, have at it, but characterizing him as some kind of lecherous pervert making light of rape is highly dishonest.

Obama is most likely not qualified and therefore not the current President of the United States. You see there is a piece of paper that most people have that allows a citizen to become President, get a driver's license or become Governor in Hawaii. It is called a long form American birth certificate signed by the doctor who performed the birth and with the name of the hospital where this doctor works. He has spend millions of dollars to hide these documents and his college entrance forms from numerous lawsuits. There is a petition of 400,000 citizens and growing asking the government for a redress of grievances because of the potential high crimes of Obama via his blantant disregard of basic Constitution law. Billboards are now being made to highlight this gross insult to the American voters. CBS, the company behind David Letterman is the biggest sign company in the united States and is refusing to display these signs. I guess joking of the raping of a 14 year old is considered free speach for CBS but questioning the birth place of Obama is off limits.

Good lord... Is the long form cert even required by a specific law? Genuine curiosity drives this question. Your enthusiasm toward the issue perhaps led you to a particular law you are alleging Obama to have broken. He has produced the short form cert, indicating TOB, doctor's name, with a raised seal, etc.

But while Palin is a hypocrite, she hasn't done anything to me personally for me to hate her and want to see her publically flogged or anything. And I assume she has a right to be offended by insults and implications against her and her daughters. What's with all the purple rage against this hot-looking fundie chick?

Letterman joked about the daughter at the game getting knocked up. You can't knock up a 14-year old without it being rape.

If you accept his word that they meant the 18-year old then it's not rape, just a lame, creepy 'joke' on an inappropriate target. I really doubt A-Rod appreciated being slimed by association.

As for outrage, who's using the all-caps motif on this thread? Who is using violent, anti-woman imagery and language? As usual, it's the tolerant left.

The "blame Bush" thing is already old. In not even 6 months in office, Obama has spent more money than Bush's eight years.(Or any other President.) Obama's economic policies are the same as W's but on steroids.( Cutting taxes and cutting spending is the way to go.) Even the Chicoms laugh at his policies and want to see the artithmatic. Lets buy GM and have someone who doesn't know how to make cars run it and make small box cars no one wants to buy. Lets have CAP and TRADE so we can put companies out of business and put even more people on the unemployment line. Obama has already made himself and the U.S. the laughingstock of the world. His "Apology" tour did wonders for the U.S.'s image. As for the war on terror(correction:Man-made distasters),lets close Gitmo and send some of "Man-Made disaster makers" to Bermuda? I thought Obama was going to end the Iraq War.(He can pull the troops out now.) He's sending more troops to Afghanistan, but if they capture any "man-made distaster makers", they must read them their Miranda rights? Obama administration:9/10 mentality. Both parties have ruined this country. But, the Dems and the Obama administration are doing it very quickly with no "checks and balances" to stop him.

If by afraid you mean like The Rock is afraid of Vern Troyer, then yeah. But I'm explaining this ONE last time and then I'm going to leave it to the people that will just scream IDIOT at the top of their lungs at you.

"Why doesn't Letterman joke about Michelle Obama and her daughters the same way he did about the Palins?"

Because their parents are not parading themselves around as poster children for purity ring creepfests / abstinence programs / anti-birth-control / anti-sex-education. In other words, the Obamas appear to practice what they preach. Find humor in that. .. come on! And the last time I checked, many people who seem to share your thinking processes hold parents responsible for their children AND see the resultant adults as a reflection of their success or failure. Lat night talk show hosts make jokes about candidates that REMAIN in the news, even if they lose. It goes all the way back to the days of Carson and Billy "billy beer" Carter. Family has never been off-limits and Letterman has made the obvious VERY clear since in regard to his joke. But it's ok, losers in denial often seek scapegoats. Just strap all the party's problems on Letterman's back, send it into the desert and everything will work out just fine. If enough people IMAGINE something is true at the same time, it BECOMES true. Right?

The "game" I was talking about was politics and as far as this being a game, you just jumped in. But if you mean you'd never be in politics, I'd have to say I agree. Most of the people who would do well in politics have actually led real lives with pasts. And we can't have that , can we? The problem is , the rules are set by the previous players. One calls the other dirty, plays rough and the next thing you know you're playing a game where the other guy is setting the rules. If the idea is to win, you have to stay in the game. I can wish it would all change until I die and it just never will. Not without forcing change and that would be too restrictive. Facts and truth as well as lies just seem to want to be free and someone out there will let them do what they will. It might change a little, but even someone like me who considers himself an idealist realizes the core of it will always be a very tough, dirty game.

"Did you see Sarah Palin at the baseball game with her daughter?" Sarah Palin was there with her daughter, Willow, the 14 yr old. Letterman and his writers should have known this. He said she was a whore and the next night called her a prostitute. He also, for no reason I can think of, said Palin looked "sluttY". How is any of this funny and would you laugh if he said this about Michelle Obama or called the Obama girls whores and prostitute. And it doesn't really matter what you think of Palin's politics, this was a sleazy thing to do and he should be ashamed of himself. I also don't by the fact he was talking about Bristol (she wasn't there!!!) And even if they WERE talking about Bristol, is it somehow better to call an 18 yr old a whore and hooker than it is to call a 14 yr old these things?

I understand better than most that this site is 90% ultra-liberals. I don't see how any of you think it's a good idea to accept from people this kind of bullshit. He would NEVER have gotten away with suggesting the Obama daughters were sluts or hookers. There is a HUGE double standard and frankly I'm shocked that so many people here are actually defending what he said. Aren't you ashamed of yourselves? Don't you have any 14 yr old sisters or daughters in your families?

C) Have not seen or heard the joke in question and are reacting purely based on the sensationalist bullshit their favorite talking head ideologue told them to think.

THE JOKE IS THAT ALEX RODRIGUEZ IS PROMISCUOUS AND BRISTOL PALIN IS AN UNWED TEENAGE MOTHER WHOSE ACTIONS (and her mother's tacit approval of those actions) HAVE RUN COUNTER TO HER FAMILY'S BELIEFS = IRONY + ABSURDITY = JOKE.

The continuation of the last post is, anyone making claims that no one would joke about Obama like this is a fucking idiot. Yeah, no shit, no one would make that joke about Obama's family because THERE IS NO BASIS. If the Obama family were conservative, abstinence-only Christians who also just happened to have a bastard child or two in the family, then there would be a joke there. But they aren't and there isn't and David Letterman is a COMEDIAN who tells JOKES.

was at the baseball game with he mother. Letterman clearly said "Did you see Sarah Palin at the baseball game with her daughter?" She was there with her 14 yr old. Why would anyone assume that he wasn't talking about the daughter that was actually there. As far as saying, "Well, it wasn't really a rape joke. It was about hypocrisy and blah, blah, blah..." That just doesn't make sense. Are you telling me it's impossible to say Sarah Palin is a hypocrite without calling her children sluts and hookers? That's like saying, "Why did Obama's crackwhore daughters cross the road? Because there crackpipe was on the other side." Is THAT joke OK? Of course not. I'm ashamed for even having typed it. Letterman whould be ashamed for having said it. And even if he really was talking about the 18 yr old and NOT the 14 yr old, how is that any better? It's still sleazy...

because Sarah Palin beleives something and her daughter made a mistake? OK. That's fine. Now that families have been opened up to criticism, I guess it's now OK to make jokes about how Obama thinks it's OK to take money from people like me who earn and give it to people who don't work, but he's a multi-millionaire and refuses to any money to his own brother starving to death on $12 a year. There seems to be all sorts of ripe irony there that could be mined by Late Night comics. Or how about the other brother he has that's been charged with pedophilia. I'm sure there's all sorts of jokes there that could be drawn up by Letterman's staff. Why is it that the only politician's family in the entire country that can be made fun of is the Palin's, but every other politicians family is off limits?

"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. I mean, look at my record. It has never happened. I don't think it's funny. I would never think it was funny. I wouldn't put it in a joke....All right, so there, I hope I've cleared part of this up. Am I guilty of poor taste? Yes. Did I suggest that it was OK for her 14-year-old daughter to be having promiscuous sex? No." - David Letterman, via Newsweek.

Coughlins Laws, It does make sense that it's not a rape joke and it's about irony and hypocrisy because those are the facts. It's absolutely possible to get the same point across without calling Palin's children hookers and sluts (although I'm taking your word on it that this was the verbage used, nothing I read or heard Letterman say was that profane or offensive in diction) and even calling Palin herself "slutty" is out of line, but my point has always been that this is an overreaction based on a few people stirring up controversy and far more people buying the controversy whole-cloth. No, you're not going to make a joke about "Obama's crackwhore daughters" because it has never been a national news story that his daughters smoke crack and have sex for money thus it's not a joke, it's just an unfounded insult. You could make a joke about Obama himself regarding crack and that would be valid but it would also be in poor taste, just like Letterman's Palin joke. It would not, however, be justification to ream you in the press.

a 14 yr old a slut and the next night a hooker. He was clearly talking about Sarah Palin at the baseball game with her daughter. She was there with a 14 yr old child. So, either he's lying and never saw the pictures of who was there, or his writers did, and they are all culpable for not knowing for sure. However, I don't see how they couldn't have known by the next night, when he called her a hooker, which daughter it was. Even if they meant the 18 yr old, who wasn't there making their point moot, how is calling an 18 yr old a slut and a hooker any better? How is calling Sarah Palin "slutty" OK?

Why would they assume that he was talking about the daughter who WASN'T EVEN THERE? Why would they assume he's NOT talking about the daughter that was there with them? Plus, Letterman NEVER APOLOGIZED!!! He just said he regrets saying it and then tries to say he meant the daughter that wasn't there, even though he clearly said THREE TIMES the daughter that was there, two nights in a row. He never apologized to the Palin's, then he said he still thinks she's "slutty". What's that based on? Because she's attractive for a politician it's OK to call her "slutty" for no reason whatsoever, even though she's been married to the same man for over two decades?

discussion is over now. I'm gonna take off because I'm sick of having this 15 yr old tell me he's gonna piss on me and wish death on me, like he's done dozens of times. I leave you with this. The point of all of this, Letterman is a Dirty Old Man who said he was talking about Sarah Palin and her daughter at the Yankees game. She was there with her 14 yr old daughter. He called Sarah Palin "slutty" and suggested she was anit-semitic in his Top Ten List. In his monlogue, he suggested that a 35 yr old knocked up her 14 yr old duaghter (which would be rape) and then the next night, where he HAD to have known by then it was the 14 yr old, suggested she was a hooker trying to be scored on by a 45 yr old. Then, instead of apologizing, he just said he regretted saying the jokes and claimed he was talking about the daughter that WASN'T EVEN THERE!!! Why take the jokes back? Or, was he just saying those jokes would've been fine if he was taling about the 18 yr old having sex with a 35 yr old in the middle of Yankees stadium and a 45 yr old paying $1000 an hour for sex with her. He also made it a point to repeat that he thinks she's "slutty" for no reason whatsoever. Why would she possibly come on his show after he said all this about her family? Even though most of you disagree with her on EVERYTHING completely, can't you at least be decent people and condemn someone when they step way over the line into sleaziness? None of you would stand for this if a Republican said this about a Democrat's family, don't be hypocrites and excuse it when liberals mercilessly go after a Republican's family for no reason whatsoever. Why do you guys think the sexual assault of a 14 yr old is funny?

Well how about the fact that I came back to the talkback, completely crushed you and PROVED that I was right and wondered if maybe it was YOU who should apologize for being wrong -- remember that?

Of course you do.

Still, I hope you take the time to peruse it for the hilarity value. It's exhibit A in terms of demonstrating what a truly worthless piece of shit you are.

And the quote posted above is pretty much exactly what you said. You said several times, on many occasions its "Its not exactly normal/natural" You would alternate between words.

days is on the Left. Barack Obama sat and listened to an anti-semitic, anti-American preacher for 20 years and the guy married him and baptized his kids. Why isn't HE responsible for what that nut did? The guy hate "neo-conservatives" and you're trying to say he killed because of conservatives? Doesn't make much sense. So I guess then that the killing of the Army recruiter by that crazed Muslim is the fault of MSNBC and Keith Olbermann, right? With his daily diatribes against American policy and the military. Keith Olbermann and The Huffington Post's hate speech caused that wacked out Muslim to kill the Army Recruiter...

I even said that it wasn't that big of an issue. I don't even understand why you're bringing it up and what it has to do with anyting that was talked about here today? From what I can gather, I was trying to find out why some people were defending David Letterman joking about Sarah Palin's 14 yr old daughter being raped by a 35 yr old and then the next night claimed that a 45 yr old tried to solicit sex from her. What do Letterman's statutory rape jokes have to do with Obama giving Gordon Brown DVDs that wouldn't play on his DVD player?

...It's important because it shows how HUGE a stink YOU tend to make about insignificant things -- that is, until you get proven wrong at which point you point out how unimportant they suddenly are.

You swore that it was a "fact", or rather "FACT", that Brown had tried watching the discs and that they had not worked. You quoted British newspapers, but when it was pointed out to you that the "story" was a bit of humorous fabulation on their part, you refused to admit you were wrong or apologize.

This is the point: you demand apologies from people you perceive have "lied", but refuse to apologize yourself when it turns out YOU were wrong. You also issue challenges and when they are met, you ignore the answers.

You are colossally ignorant and hideously arrogant and thus impossible to debate because you simply cannot accept facts when they go against your notions.

NEOCONS BACK MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD
by BringingSexyBack
Jun 12th, 2009
11:49:25 AM
American neoconservatives have often used the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to bolster their case for aggressive action against Iran. So the assumption might be that they would be rooting for Iranians to take care of the problem themselves by electing reformer Mir Hossein Mousavi in today's vote.

Instead, they're rooting for the anti-American bogeyman to stay in power.

Middle East Forum Director Daniel Pipes said in a speech at the Heritage Foundation that he would vote for Ahmadinejad if he could.

American Enterprise Institute's Michael Rubin told National Review's Kathryn Jean Lopez it might be better for Ahmadinejad to win, because a loss might give Obama the impression that diplomacy was working.

Other neocons, worried a shift in power will signal a fresh start relations with Iran, are already deflating a Mousavi win. The same pundits who constantly point out Ahmadinejad's Holocaust denial, anti-Semitism, and nuclear ambitions as reasons to confront Iran now argue that the president doesn't matter. Martin Peretz wrote at the New Republic, "We've known for a long time that elected leaders do not carry the weight of those who have been anointed." Ilan Berman seconded at the American Spectator, "Whoever ends up becoming president will have little real power -- and even less influence over Iran's geostrategic direction."

In fact, Mousavi does disagree with Ahmadinejad on a key policy point. Unlike the current president, he would back nuclear talks with Iran and United Nations Security Council members.

You all know why we're pissed. It's because Palin and her mentally challenged supporters are trying to silence a critic with lies and half-truths. Then they take those lies and turn "knocked up" into "slut" and "rape". Then when Letterman makes it clear he meant her older daughter, you still stick to your assumptions, ignore facts and remain on the attack. Good for Letterman for explaining himself instead of just saying it was in bad taste. This world needs more people who are willing to raise a middle finger to people who claim to be offended when the truth is, it's just hit too close to home.

Only the people who knew the younger Palin was the ONLY one at the game would realize the error.

And again, stop using the word rape for God's sake.

baseball game. Isn't that saying she's a slut? If it was the daughter who was there, it's statutory rape. If it was the daughter who WASN'T there (doesn't make much sense to talk about the daughter who wasn't even at the game), wouldn't she have to be a slut for getting impregnated at a baseball game when she has a newborn at home? The next night, he said she had to keep Spitzer away from their daughter. If they were talking about the daughter that was ACTUALLY THERE, it makes Spitzer a sexual predator that has sex with 14 yr olds. If they were talking about the daughter who WASN'T there, it would imply that she's a hooker since that is what Spitzer's famous for doing, fucking hookers. He also called Sarah Palin "slutty" for no reason, someone who's been married to the same man for over 20 years. Do you understand now?

So any female that has a second child from a different father than the first, is automatically a SLUT? Really? Wow. That is very degrading and rude of you to feel that way.

And if we're making assumptions...isn't it safe to call Sarah a slut for having an affair with her husband's best friend? I feel that is far worse than having two children from two different fathers.

appropriate liberal keywords and even sometimes invoking the names of groups. You know, like anti-gay-marriage activists talking about LOSING THEIR RIGHTS. Aww, too bad. You're going to lose your right to vote on other's rights. Boo fucking hoo. They're not losing rights just because someone else is gaining them. It's the old "precious" thing. Everything is so PRECIOUS. Virginity, sexuality, marriage. They don't take any of it seriously enough to respect it. They just "hold it dear" like a mother that smother's it's child, or the way a stalker worships the object of their "affection". Most of what they call respect and love is nothing more than objectification. They're just angry they can't sell their daughters to the guy with the most cows.

One of the ads even called their group a sort of "rainbow coalition". See, the problem is, they're just aping liberals. It's like the neighbor down the street who HEARS you playing the drums and complains that it's "disturbing" him. He has to step out on his lawn and listen in order to even tell you're drumming at all. I had a neighbor once who did nothing but sit in his kitchen all night and snort crank.I'd get up in the middle of the night and get a drink. He would call the manager at 3am and complain that I was disturbing him by "slamming cupboards". The manager caught him through his OPEN window sitting there snorting crank off his table. He didn't like us. It had nothing to do with actually being disturbed. He was just out of his mind and was pissed off that I had complained TO HIM that he blasted his TV all night. Claiming false offense is an OLD trick used to silence critics. And don't think they're not cribbing from the old UK playbook with this incessant PEEEEEDOPHILE bullshit. That this conversation has gone on so long is a bit of testament that partly it's working. And that's sad. But don't any of you sharp people here think for a second that these people do NOT actually realize the joke wasn't that offensive. They know it, they're just "staying the course" and "sticking to their guns". Predictably. Hopefully, some of you on the fence will read some of the comments here and start to use a bit of reason and logic. But to those asking for Letterman's head on this? Those people, probably a high percentage of them, are UN-fixable. They're forever stuck in an endless loop of

"Wow, this ____ sure pisses me off. How dare those ____ do that"

Spurred on by the fact that radio and TV hosts reinforce their ignorance in loud, convincing voices. There are hosts in radio and TV that have made MILLIONS off doing NOTHING but making YOU feel comfortable basically...just never looking into anything. They'll do the thinking for you. We all have busy lives. I haven't had a day off in months, no weekends, barely sleeping on some days. Somehow I manage to care enough to stay informed and keep a "prepared" mind. (OPEN minds are for suckers) Stop being intellectually lazy and claiming everyone who actually uses 10% of their brains is an "elitist". And to those who are surprised how long we've been discussing this? Just stop reading or stop posting. But to mention it is kind of like someone who screams "I AM NOT YELLING! YOU'RE YELLING!"

During the campaign, she was a minor and should've been off limits. Willow, Piper, and Trig are minors and should be off limits.(As all kids of political figures should be.) Being on the Campaign trail doesn't make them fair game. Letterman is still a bitter and unfunny old man. He's got a thing for Gov. Palin because his wife is fugly.

So..not even an election year and we're on people! Yeehaw!

I say we take Coughlin up on his challenge since he's one who seems to be ready to meet face to face. Obiviously, if there's going to be any actuall ass kicking, it cannot be done in a way that winds somebody up in the pokey so I'm thinking an amatuer boxing match with all the trimmings.

Since the implication is that Coughlin would be ready for these discussions outside of the anonymity of the internet I think he's perfect for the "Right Wing" and now the question is who to fight for the "Left Wing"?

The logical choice would be DG-DB and perhaps he's the best choice but I haven't read that he'd take the challenge as either being legit or worthy of response...so

What say you Danny? Are you up to the BATTLE ROYALE 2000 challenge?

Enough of this verbal tennis match mickey mouse bullshit fellas! Let's act like real men and beat the freakin shit out of each other for having different opinions!

I mean retort after retort...it get's a little difficult to keep up and my reading comprehension is barely above that of a gnat so give us a leg up folks!

And we're not talking EFNY style boxing, we're talking padded, gloved, legit style where sheer pugilistic skill is what keeps the strongest man upright.

It's impossible for me to sit here and type that liberals are incapable of taking things out of context toward an agenda. It just wouldn't be true.

Also...that Devil's Tower in Wyoming...it's flat on top right? How apropro right? Cinema geeks...the CEot3K history making location...

I can see it now...lights, smoke...plumes of fire blasting into the night sky hundreds of meters/yards high. Roving spot lights and diverging helicopters, loudspeakers with a variety of Rock and HipHop and maybe some crossover polka/ska here and there. Get some celebrity sponsors like ZZTop and Paris Hilton...

Hmmm...I can see it...

IF Obama spent time spouting off about abstinence, creepy-ass borderline incestuous purity rings and not using birth control, then yes. To a certain extent, his kids, if sexually active in a public way, would be fair game. Does that explain it? It wouldn't make sense to make a joke about the daughter of a president or candidate in the limelight getting "knocked up" if she had never BEEN knocked up. This "fair game" thing makes no sense. Why make a joke that doesn't make any logical sense??

The Palin Rape Kit Thing:
by Holy Hell
Jun 12th, 2009
03:03:48 PM
When she was mayor of Wasilla, the police had a policy to bill the insurance companies of rape victims for the cost of the rape kit. Depending on the victim's policies, this would likely result in some cost (deductibles, copays) being passed on directly to the victim. It's unclear what would happen in the event a victim was uninsured. It was put ito effect to save some room in the budget, but is clearly stupid. It is a medical procedure, certainly, but is also a way for law enforcement to gather evidence to solve crimes for the public good. As such it should be in the same category as finger printing and other forensic strategies, that are covered by law enforcement budgets. Palin has never gone on record as for or against the policy, nor is there much evidence that she could successfully reason her way to a thoughtful conclusion if she ever tried.

She believe man rode them like horses around 6500 years ago. Seriously..with saddles and everything! Plus, she had an official real-deal Witch Hunter anoint her and beg his heathen gods that she be sent to the presidency so all witches could be rooted from their villainous covens and eradicated from the earth. After all...fucking witchcraft caused the economic collapse and forced Obama to spend more money than Bush and all Presidents anywhere a president has ever been. Wasn't for the economy though...Obama has a hard time not smoking 4 or 5 thousand packs of cigarettes a day and those things are fucking expensive! So thanks Obama for bankrupting the country by buying all those cogarettes!

In all seriousness...how did reasonable and intelligent old school conservatives allow unthinking extremists, without any real political or governing acumen beyond the mediocre, to take over the party? Those men and women were not fools but I fear the opportunity they originally saw for some loyal backers was grounded in numbers (rumor has it it started with Nixon) but not in the possibility that a significant number of them are completely fucking unhinged from reality.

We need more political options, not less.

You far lefters might disagree, but with a 1 dimensional political environment (left-right) and no solid AND reasonable opposition, that the risk of unopposed basically 'tyranical' government can replace a democratic republic in a few generations. Fascism and Communism usually don't happen over night...and we're probably headed to one or the other unless we recognize we need not only 2 viable parties at the god damn MINIMUM(!) but it would be nice if we actually had more than fucking 2 parties...who were actually different from one another!

The greatest irony is...the right blames the left and the left blames the right. Guess what happens? Not a god damned thing.

Hence....BATTLE ROYALE!!!!!!

Vote for BATTLE ROYALE and we'll actually get shit done...or at least keep you entertained! And we won't pretend it's good governance either! Want national health care? FIGHT FOR IT! Want a private mercenary army ala Blackwater? FIGHT FOR IT! Want Bush/Cheney et al investigated for war crimes? FIGHT FOR IT!

Voting is for pussies! Vote with your right cross and uppercuts! Vote with your FIST! (wrapped in a BATTLE ROYALE approved boxing glove, of course...no lawsuits please).

Bush and the war on terror every day loudly and often. How do you guys like your man getting nailed by the right. It is no fun and counterproductive is it not? Some could say some of the left reps and media were even treasonous for saying we lost the war, we lost the war, USA is a terrorist country, there was no wmds. Bush lied people died. No wonder we nearly lost it in Iraq. And go ahead and say we wrongly invaded Iraq. Almost every fuck in congress was for the invasion including much of the world. But Obama was against it and thats why he is pulling out of Iraq and Afgan now and not sending anymore troops in, right? Wasnt that what made him a much better option thn Bush or any Rep candidate to begin with? And for the record Palin is a sweet person. She is a regular mom and wife. Why the hate guys? What good does it do you to hate so much? What is so wrong with loving this country, protecting the rights of the unborn, loving Israel, keeping states rights strong, low taxes and not wanting to equate gay marriage with straight marriage for religious reasons? After all who cares and who needs to know how you like it in the sack? Some people view marriage as a holy union. How about calling any two adults who live with and love each other a secular union.

Marriage was a business deal
by DennisMM
Jun 12th, 2009
05:38:03 PM
for thousands of years and remains one today for many Americans. It's not particularly holy in its current incarnation. Given this, why not admit that people of the same sex can be as loving and as interested in a merger of finances as those of the opposite sex? Especially given that there were blessing ceremonies for gay couples for hundreds of years, in the Catholic church (the first organized Christian church). Besides, no one is telling any particular cleric he or she must perform gay marriages. Hell, no cleric is required to perform any marriage, if I recall correctly.

And those who opposed the Iraqi invasion were right - Bush lied. He kept changing his story as the facts contradicted his earlier statements until the story finally matched the facts - it was always about throwing out Saddam. Why he needed to throw out Saddam - well, that led to more lies.

I don't know if Palin is a sweet person or not. It doesn't matter. Being a "regular wife and mother" doesn't qualify her to be governor of Alaska, though. She's obviously not terribly bright or informed and was a very poor choice to run with McCain. I would only hope she fades into the obscurity from which she emerged.

If Bush lied so did many in congress, the CIA and several other countries. If there were lies told he would be only one of many who told them. And if many were lying, you could call it a conspiracy.

certificate of live birth
by jonsnow
Jun 12th, 2009
06:26:43 PM
There is a big difference between a certificate of live birth and an actual birth certificate with a doctor's signature, at least one witness's signature and the name of hospital. A doctored and photoshoped COLB is a dime a dozen these days. Any good forensic expert will tell you Obama's certificate of live birth is a horrid forgery. "The (Daily) KOS image security border pattern does not match any known specimen from any known year. It does not match the pre-2006 nor does it match the post-2006 certificate patterns. The placement of the text in all of the pre-2006 and post-2006 certificates are almost identical pixel location matches while the image?s text placement does not match any known specimen from any known year. The shape and kerning of the fonts used in the 2006 through 2008 certificates are identical while the shape and kerning of the fonts used in the image does not match any known specimen. The KOS image shows clear signs of tampering such as the mismatch in RGB and error levels, visible indications of the previous location of the erased security border, easily detectable patterns of repeating flaws around the new security border, EXIF data that says the image was last saved with Photoshop CS3 for Macintosh, and finally a technician from Hawaii who confirms it just looks wrong." "There are two obvious scenarios used to create the image that can be ascertained from evidence. Either a real COLB was scanned into Photoshop and digitally edited or a real COLB was first scanned to obtain the graphic layout then blanked by soaking the document in solvent to remove the toner. After rescanning the blank page to a separate image the graphics from the previously obtained scan could then be easily applied to the blank scan after some editing and rebuilding. It would also explain why date stamp bleeds through the paper and the various bits of toner located around the image as well as the remnants of the previous location of a security border."

The Republican leadership thinks Palin is radioactive, anyway, so the best she can hope for is her own show on Fox. Just as well to me since I don't like fundies in control. But it seems like a shame that she'll have to pay a phalanx of bodyguards to protect her at all time from ravening mentally-unstable Ozombies for the rest of her life for daring to express indignation at a depraved public slander on her family.

If they parade them around like accessories? And then hold them up as examples? I don't think so.

I guess what's good for the Lohan and Spears is not good for the gander. If everyone decided to be consistent in their outrage, I'd agree that they are all off limits. But if Letterman had actually been referencing the younger daughter, on purpose, then yes. It would be tasteless. He did not. No-one actually thought "hey, he's talking about the 14 year old" until talk radio and Fux news had a big light bulb go on above their lying, cheating little heads.

How can he not "give a fuck" and yet regret it the next night? Sounds like he gives a fuck. In fact, I think he cares quite a bit. I think his jokes come from a deep-seated hatred for Republicans, and not a comic irreverence. If he truly didn't give a fuck, he'd be making jokes about Obama's daughters getting raped. That would definitely be ballsy. It would also be sick, disgusting, and I would criticize him just as harshly. I wouldn't be praising him and comparing him to Eastwood. That's retarded. Eastwood didn't pick on little girls.

Some now believe there MAY be a connection to neanderthal dna. Just an observation, not trying to insult anyone. As a matter of fact, some also believe it's where we got our "large brains". (explain reality TV to me again?) Although it's not true with all people who deal with aspergers, many find themselves unable to comprehend humor, jokes and situations that make others laugh. But many also find great humor when others fall, hurt themselves or fail in some way while not being able to comprehend why even the most basic of common jokes are funny. Like I said, not always true. Many people who have aspergers can construct complex word humor. Or they can have a normal sense of humor while their condition presents in other ways. I've found myself often wondering if it's over-diagnosed. Then I run into phenomena that make me wonder if it's more of an epidemic.

are those who demonstrate an inability or unwillingness to reason cogently, or to spend the minutes of their lives engaged in inane activities. We are all dumb from time to time (wasting a Sat morning in a tb, for ex: )), but some are passionately committed to dumbness on a grand scale. The could turn a corner, though, and reprioritize, we'll see. Now I'm leaving.

Truly, CL, you are the most obtuse tool ever to post on these TB's.

The irony of your whining post is hilarious:

******"The problem with debating people here is that too many people present their opinons as facts."******

In fact, you are the undisputed Heavyweight Champion of presenting ridiculous opinions as "Facts"!

e.g. Letterman really meant to insult the 14 year old daughter, not the "knocked up" one - therefore he actually called a 14 year old girl a slut.

And as for: *****"I'm not arrogant (even though I think I'm better than all of you). Why can't you show me the respect I show you?"*****

Jesus wept!

You narcissistic pin-head.

It is in our best interest to keep them a villain. And it is in their best interest to keep swinging their big balls in the Middle East. Ahmadinejad has some back door deals with Washington. Nothing will happen on either side really. He'll just keep talking.

You know this to be true.

Funniest/Disturbing Letter To The Editor I Have Seen
by mjgtexas
Jun 13th, 2009
09:17:25 PM
Courtesy of The Houston Chronicle Truly worried As I read the Chronicle, I see articles on David Letterman making jokes about Sarah Palin’s 14-year-old daughter when they were at a charity event. This lack of tolerance surprises me as it is coming from the left, which now has complete control of the government. Usually, this type of comment comes from the powerless and those in power show more tolerance. I could understand the righteous indignation expressed during the Bush administration when someone used the term “nappy-headed.” I seem to recall that the offender was fired. Why wasn’t the same done to Letterman? At this time, I see a concerted effort to marginalize the less-liberal segments of our country. These are not American values. It was efforts like this that ultimately led to the Civil War. When the Southerners believed that the government no longer represented them, they believed they had to secede. Sales of guns and ammunition are up sharply. Why? I am truly worried. — Pate Wetuski, Kingwood **************************** I live 10 miles from this idiot.

I have tried to watch Conan for years, since it seems like he has this huge following, although the ratings speak differently. I just don't think he is funny AT ALL! His bits are great, as you can see his backround in comedy is in writing, but he just comes off as a buffoon, and I just can't take his monologue or his interviews. My perfect Late Show was have Conan as the head writer, Leno do the monologue and Dave interview the guests.

I agree that politicans parade their kids out for political gain. Yes, ALL of them do it, even the Obamas. Now I am no Palin defender, as I think she is an idiot who didn't know the issues, but I just don't find jokes about politicans kids all that funny. In fact, it is sorta creepy, as I just would never make fun of somebodies kids to their face. It is sad to see people lining up pro and con on this Palins Daughter joke as liberals defend Letterman, and Conservatives defend Palin. Does partisanship cloud the judgement on EVERY issue anymore? I can't even talk politics with any of my friends anymore as their partisan views ruin any objectivity.

(please read this without a sarcastic voice, genuinely) I admire your attempts to make peace. Boy, if I ever came across as someone who generalized people instead of going after ideas or individuals with what I would characterize as really really horrible ideas, I'm genuinely sorry. I have christian friends/family. I get along with them well. I think it's also very important for people to understand the difference between criticism and disrespect. I have also known many Christians who will not accept criticism as anything but disrespect. I think the BIG issue here for me is that everyone has a set of subjects that they feel are off-limits when it comes to humor. Especially if they feel THEY are the subject of said humor. But we can't go around asking for the heads of comedians on a platter when it comes to something SO mis-interpretable. In other words, if it doesn't pass the test when it comes to humor that makes sense on any level AND offends a large number of people in a huge way, then maybe it makes sense to ask for more than an apology. (nappy headed ___ comes to mind.. wasn't really funny, didn't make sense and was hateful for no discernible reason.. ) But if it's THIS controversial and the discussion is THIS passionate, obviously an apology, even a weak one, should be enough. In MY opinion, Palin set up the pins of that joke WAY in advance by setting a moral standard WE should meet while not being responsible for seeing to it that she and her family met it. Letterman just knocked the pins down.

But I get it. It's good to strive to be a decent, fair and generous human being. I especially admire those who can bring different types of people together. But I am fundamentally disgusted by people who set a moral standard (sometimes through laws or SUPPORT of laws) that they don't even intend on living up to, regardless of what religion or system of beliefs they practice. I encounter this usually coupled with more concern about what people THINK of them vs. what really goes on in their lives. People that would be angry not about what people are actually doing, but instead because they encounter less opposition than they did when THEY tried to do the same thing. You know, like "when I tried to do that, my dad beat the crap out of me.. so I'm going to make things hard for you because *I* can't get away with it. Ted Haggard would be a great example.

But even more disgusting than all of that are people who use false claims, lies and outrageous interpretations, disingenuously to SILENCE opposition or criticism. That's cowardly, weak, insults those who would support them and *I* think just makes the world a whole lot dumber.

The "elites" that right-wing blowhards love to vilify about are imaginary groups set up as convenient hate objects.

Palin wasn't elected because she continually made foolish, incoherent statements when she went off-script.

Ordinary people all over the country saw that and decided she was not suitable for national leadership.

... all just dumb people's terms for people who have thoughts more complex than "me too". It's a sad time for a culture and a country when being smart is a bad thing. Those "elites" and "activist judges" (oh, you know, like the sane ones) ... are going to be the ones you thank in a few years for saving your beloved country. And I've heard people say they only use terms like that to "get to the liberals" and they're not really serious. Well, if your main objective is to piss off those you oppose, NICE AGENDA! What's your next move? Teasing animals at the zoo? In the meantime, while you are "pissing off dem librals", you're spreading vile idiocy and the worship of simple-mindedness. The rewarding of regressive, one dimensional reasoning. But, as those trailer park sages always say. "It is what it is." Well, sometimes it AINT. And if you put half the effort into examining your heroes' effort-free logic some time, you'd see that you're being duped, disrespected and cheated for AD DOLLARS and extended contracts.

He gets his news straight from Sean Hannity. You know, so he can be informed and fair-minded.

There are hundreds of thousands of Americans who have lost their jobs and had their savings robbed by capitalist shit-bags, as well as thousands who have died overseas, and these idiots have their underoos in knots over a joke.

That'd be funny if it weren't tragic.

Yeah, well, maybe just Florida would be fine. Hollyweird (California) should secede. That'll teach 'em. Watch the rest of the country fall apart after that one. And hey, guess what? It's not the cheese after all , is it? Not sure if it'd still be the tenth largest economy in the world, but even with current issues, it probably comes close. Then they can kiss our "elite" asses.
