Letterman Sorry For Saying Some Thing About Sarah Palin’s Daughter

How many daughters does Sarah Palin have? Like fourteen? Well, David Letterman made a CRUDE REMARK about one of them, apparently intending to refer to the oldest one ( “Bridgeport”) but inadvertently referring to the middle one ( “Jester”). And voila just like that a harmless “gals is always gettin’ pregnant” joke turned into a “isn’t it hilarious when 14-year-olds get raped by baseball stars” joke, so he had to apologize for that. Ugh. Everybody just needs to wash out their minds with soap — Ivory soap, the soap of virgins. [Political Ticker]

    Ivory?! I’ve been using Dove!

    Should have used Oil of Oh Lay.

  3. Suds McKenzie says at 10:51 am, June 11th, 2009

    next Palin child name “Crude”.

  4. If you can’t take the heat, stay the fuck in Alaska.

    Knocking up young girls at baseball games is frowned upon?

  7. jagorev says at 10:58 am, June 11th, 2009

    I was four blocks away from the Ed Sullivan theatre when he told this joke, so I really don’t appreciate Wonkette making light of it.

  8. d4g33z says at 11:00 am, June 11th, 2009

    “Palin had also taken issue with an item on Letterman’s recent “Top Ten List,” in which he said one of the Alaska governor’s activities in New York was to buy “makeup at Bloomingdale’s to update her slutty flight attendant look.”

    “The only thing I can say about this is I kind of like that joke,” Letterman said.”

    Ha!

    jagorev: Nice.

    Here’s the video of Letterman’s 8 minute rant about Palin last night. Hilarious:

    I’m sure A-Rod will wait until she is 16 and based on the Palin women history- rape is not an issue.

  12. Big Liver says at 11:02 am, June 11th, 2009

    Is he getting too old and tired to find humor in Sarah Palin’s own wacky behaviour and politics?

  13. Ivory soap won’t do it. This calls for liberal application of bleach.

  14. pattycake says at 11:06 am, June 11th, 2009

    Marilyn Chambers, the Ivory Soap girl, was no virgin.

  15. Sussemilch says at 11:06 am, June 11th, 2009

    In his defense, he’s a Dominican Republic baseball player. When she said she was 14 he naturally assumed it meant 22.

  16. Holy Cow!! says at 11:07 am, June 11th, 2009

    Just the latest panic from the GOP feigned outrage machine.

    Say aren’t these the guys always bitching about political correctness?

  17. InsidiousTuna says at 11:07 am, June 11th, 2009

    This is dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

  18. WickedWitch says at 11:16 am, June 11th, 2009

    Dave, dude: Never complain, never explain.

    Now we’ll have to watch you flog yourself every time you tell a halfway funny joke.

    Oy.

  19. Monsieur Grumpe says at 11:16 am, June 11th, 2009

    Letterman invited her on the show. I hope she accepts so the band can play Call Any Vegetable when she makes her entrance or maybe Crew Slut?

  20. snideinplainsight says at 11:21 am, June 11th, 2009

    Knocking up Palin’s daughter? Oh, that would only be the fourth (FOURTH!) error in his last four games!!! Ha!

  21. Humpback says at 11:23 am, June 11th, 2009

    Let’s face it. Them Palin girls are incredibly fecund.

  22. InsidiousTuna says at 11:24 am, June 11th, 2009

    snideinplainsight: Hahahahaha

  23. ManchuCandidate says at 11:24 am, June 11th, 2009

    Besides, Bristol’s not A-Rod’s type. He likes his women, er, more masculine.

  25. ioksotot23 says at 11:26 am, June 11th, 2009

    This all sort of begs the question of what the fuck they were doing when their 16 yr old daughter got knocked up by a half assed mullet headed hockey player…kind of closing the barn door so to speak after the horses have run off…I’m sure their vetting staff had that weekend off and the jaeger shot glasses were clean and shiny out of the dishwasher…idiots. also.

  26. dijetlo says at 11:37 am, June 11th, 2009

    pattycake: The girl is a 14 year old Alaskan, she probably has her own Meth lab. Let’s be serious here people, virgin? Perhaps if she’s a lesbian but we’re talking backwoods rednecks here and the girl has like fourteen brothers….just sayin…

  27. thefrontpage says at 11:41 am, June 11th, 2009

    The Palins are morons, on every level.

    But I’d date Bristol Palin–she seems like she would be pretty fun on a date. Maybe a bunch of us will give her a call and ask her out. We hear she likes to go out to Hooters.

    And Sarah Palin would make a great stewardess. Yes, we called them stewardess. She would even be a great slutty stewardess–and that’s a compliment.

    Geez, Palins–your stupid 15 minute are at the 14.59 mark now. Take the attention while you can, you morons!

  28. Come here a minute says at 11:44 am, June 11th, 2009

    Dave didn’t come close to apologizing. (Maybe a teenage girl’s apology: “Yeah, whatever.”)

    I do like CNN’s choice of Palin photograph to illustrate the story — Palin in her slutty flight attendant look!

  29. The Palin response was certainly chilling, as he read, they said that Letterman and his “New York” entertainers were out of touch with the “real Americans”. Your “resettlement” train is here, Mr. New York entertainer…

  30. 19kevin8 says at 11:51 am, June 11th, 2009

    …and we come to “Nailin’ Palin 5: The Next Generation”

  31. jagorev: Well done.

  32. Darehead says at 11:58 am, June 11th, 2009

    Nice headline there: “Letterman on Sarah Palin’s Daughter.”
    She could have just said, “Get off!”

  33. bitchincamaro says at 11:59 am, June 11th, 2009

    Dave who?

  34. Mad Farmer Manifest says at 11:59 am, June 11th, 2009

    thefrontpage: You misspelled it. It’s spelled “morans”. Keep your filthy literacy to yourself.

  35. PrairiePossum says at 11:59 am, June 11th, 2009

    Snowbilly has nothing to worry about. Her daughters have received the finest abstinence only sex education from Snowbilly herself. No horny, single, muscular, multi-millionaire baseball star would stand a chance with any of her snow princess spawn.

  36. “Acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone’s daughter, contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others,” she said.

    Levi?

  37. paintitblack says at 12:06 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Holy Cow!!: beat me to it! these folks whine incessantly about how stoooped eevul Pol. correctness is, until they wish to use it fer there oun…

    d4g33z: Dave comparing Bible Spice to a “slutty flight attendant” seems like a compliment to me! My comparison would be more like: addled racist trailer trash meth ho, or some such. Maybe Snowbilly would like that more betterer??!!11

  38. hockeymom says at 12:07 pm, June 11th, 2009

    You know it’s funny, it didn’t really FEEL like an apology.

  39. Country Club Jihadi says at 12:12 pm, June 11th, 2009

    He should have acknowledged the mistake by clarifying that A-Rod was actually scoring meth from Levi Johnston’s mom during the 7th inning.

  40. bumfug says at 12:22 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Back in the 80’s I was doing a comedy gig at UC Santa Cruz and in one joke I quoted one of Reagan’s guys (James Watt) who said his staff was diverse because he had a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. After the show the faculty woman in charge of the show came backstage moaning about how a student in a wheelchair had fled in tears upon hearing the word “cripple” and telling me what an insensitive bastard I was. My response then was what Dave’s should be now - “Must suck to be her, where’s my check?”

  41. lulzmonger says at 12:58 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I was raised among apologies, I was friends with apologies, I even served with apologies - & that, sir, was no apology.

    Bet Palin wishes she’d kept her piehole shut now, eh? Oh, wait - Palin, self-awareness, major paradox.

    I imagine she’s already sent out a “PWNED!!1!1!” Tweet to her many adoring fanz. If teh stupid really DID burn, Lucifer would move to Alaska.

  42. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:58 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Dave should have told a good Republican joke about Sarah Palin and a magnificent Gorilla.

  43. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 1:01 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Here is the main problem with Palin’s criticism. If you were 14, would you want to be knocked up by the local hockey playing idiot in Wasillia like sis, or A-Rod, who knows what the hell he is doing.

  44. loquaciousmusic says at 1:20 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I used to live in Bridgeport.

    Eeew. That sounds gross.

  45. takes12no1 says at 1:25 pm, June 11th, 2009

    A-Rod should be the one offended here. But seriously, I loved Dave’s non-apology. He should have told her not to get her panties in a wad…her overblown indignation just proves how she will grasp whatever she can to get some political exposure. Real Americans my ass!

  46. Georgia Burning says at 1:30 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I hope Dave issues an apology to slutty flight attendants

  47. Mr Blifil says at 1:39 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I wouldn’t spend eight minutes on her ACTUAL twat.

  48. Pithaughn says at 2:06 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Oh come on. Where are the jokes referencing the evil witch in the classic Disney movie “Snow White”? The one who is always checking herself out in the talking mirror. I am just an old caveman and cannot make the joke (especially at work where they require me to remain sober). So get to it you young hip kats!

  49. octupletsmom says at 2:41 pm, June 11th, 2009

    If we find out next week that Willow Palin IS pregnant, can he take his take-back back?

  50. octupletsmom: Who the fuck is Willow Palin? I thought we were talking about Piper!

  51. pat robertsons personal trainer says at 3:15 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I don’t know why the righties are so deluded into thinking we should put Reagan on Mt. Rushmore, clearly Letterman belongs there.

    A battle of wits between Letterman and Palin would be like Tyson v. Spinks only Palin wouldn’t make it 91 seconds. and to think we were only a few points off in a few battleground states from this woman (who makes Bush seem like a Rhodes scholar) being one 72 year old heartbeat away from the Presidency. I’m glad Letterman smells blood and is trying to end any threat of that ever happening. ever.

  52. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:05 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Anyone notice that when Dave suggests that Palin’s daughter gets knocked up by a black man, she immediately turns it to rape?

  53. EdFlinstone says at 5:04 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Sarah, while were talking about real americans, real americans call them snowmobiles, not snowmachines. And only a sick twisted mind like yours would of thought Dave was talking about your 14 year old, but hey maybe your thinking shes about due. Dont Wasilla grifter hillbillies’ biological clocks start ticking once you enter high school?

  54. pat robertsons personal trainer: We weren’t nearly that close, if you’ll recall.

  55. Scandalabra says at 7:25 pm, June 11th, 2009

    The next time a Palin refers to David Letterman as “pathetic” they should ponder two things: John McCain’s election results and the fact that Todd’s sister takes her toddler along on her breaking and entering sprees in Wasilla.

  56. blang158 says at 5:53 pm, June 12th, 2009

    Letterman is a dirtbag- if he had said the same about the Obama daughters the libs would have his head… just like they had Imus’s. I have started a Facebook group: BOYCOTT CBS UNTIL LETTERMAN IS FIRED. Parents of daughters should be outraged.
