Not so smug once advertisers start puling their ads, are you Dave?

Seriously, if he would have said this the 1st time, I would have believed him. Now? Looks like a guy just trying to do damage control.

smug or sumg, either way.

He shouldn't have said the joke in the first place.

Saturday night, Sarah Palin is going to drop the first puck at the Philadelphia Flyers' hockey game. Then Palin will spend the rest of the game trying to keep the hockey players out of her daughter's penalty box.

I missed the outrage over that one last year during the campaign. Bristol at 17, was still underage at the time.

Just saying.

How about this bit of gold from ole Denim Dan?

"Gov. Palin announced over the weekend that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant. And you thought John Edwards was in trouble before! Now he has really done it." -- "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," 9/2/08

We need to get Leno's ass off of the Tonight Show right now.

Still of the opinion... Who Cares!

This needs to be dropped, who really cares, and other than politics why does this matter?

It's the off-season. We are bored.

[Quoner]

We lost the election. We are pissed.

Fixed.

Letterman has done the right thing, and I think the issue should be dropped.

Time to move on. However, the lack of any response from the "women's movement" has me a bit puzzled. I guess it's OK to blast conservative women. Seems I recall a real "cry" from these folks when the Rutgers basketball ladies were made the butt of a stupid remark by another "personality".

Palin has accepted the apology and Letterman has done what he was obviously told to do...Move on...bigger fish to fry.

For Letterman, apparently. You can't just take potshots at people like that, especially when it's pretty much irrelevant.

Why would the woman's movement care about a joke about an individual woman that had a child out of wedlock, in complete opposition to her mother's stance? It wasn't a joke about all women. It was a joke about this one woman... who is now in the public eye (on her own accord) touring about being a teenage mother.

I, personally, don't understand the outrage (real or contrived). I think a lot of it is the "what if the other party did this!??1" faction. I don't think anyone really cares.

I care. The Rutgers joke wasn't about all women either...it was aimed at the women's basketball team as I recall. You wouldn't understand the outrage since Letterman was the "offender" in this case. A "nice" liberal minded gentleman. let the comment be made about one of Obama's kids by a conservative talk show host and let's see you say "I don't understand the outrage" and "I don't think anyone really cares".

But, like I said, for me...over...done...apology accepted by Gov. Palin. Move on. Bigger fish to fry...

I'm not liberal and I think this is the most retarded thing on TV since "Life goes On" got canceled.
