This weeks comments by David Letterman about Sarah Palin's trip to NYC has the Conservatives outraged, from pundits to bloggers. Again they prove, they can say anything about anybody and it's ok, but the moment someone turns the tables on them, oh, look out! In Letterman fashion, at Governor Palin's expense she was the victim of his Top 10 List."Bought makeup at Bloomingdales to update her slutty flight attendant look"
In his monologue of jokes, he said an "the toughest part of her trip was keeping Elliot Spitzer away from her daughter" and "one awkward moment at the Yankees game was during the 7th inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez" What has not been noted by any Conservatives is how Limbaugh took the joke further, and claimed Letterman had it wrong, and suggested she was knocked up after the game. I am sure it's just that their schedules are too hectic to have to call him and apologize afterwards.
To the Governor's credit she was in NYC for a fundraiser for autism, and made a weekend out of it. What is ridiculous, is Conservatives are acting like they have never heard a comedian before. Some are suggesting Letterman called her daughter a prostitute, others are saying "how could he make jokes about a 14 year being raped". What is clear, David Letterman never said anything about rape. I noted that I didn't believe Letterman knew what daughter was with her on the trip, and second if he is going to make a joke about her daughter being "knocked up" , it is clear he is speaking of the 18 year old daughter who was knocked up. Comedians use questionable material, that is their shtick! The Palins responded to Letterman, "Laughter incited by sexually perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is ... disgusting,"
That's it, it was poor comedy that Letterman himself acknowledges here. You either laugh, or you don't , but he is a comedian...that's it. Get over it!
