I'm surprised that none of the regulars, who are usually pretty quick on this stuff, have taken up this topic. Now if the unlovable Dick Cheney had made a, I think Letterman called it a joke, like this....

do you think barry or the little misses would be upset if davy said one of the obamas kids was fucking a sports figure with her mom..the child he insulted is only 14...i just love progressive thought..

perhaps the bigot in the white house should say hes sorry his party is such a douchebag..

I don't like Letterrman..don't think he's funny. But I knew the joke was in reference to Bristol even before I heard his 'apology'. And she isn't 14.

How old was Chelsea when McCain made the joke about her being the love child of Janet Reno and Hillary?

Bristol [who, by the way is BARELY eighteen]. His comments were about fourteen year old Willow who was at the game. Bristol Palin was not there and Letterman KNEW that she wasn't there. He effectively called a fourteen year old girl a slut. He gets away with it however because its liberal PC to say ANYTHING about the family members of conservatives.

One notices that Letterman NEVER talks about how Michelle Obama is a whore or how she is training her slutty little girls to follow in her foot steps. He hasn't suggested that the prostitute Nancy Pelosi is making money on the side in the House of Representatives. For that matter I have yet to hear him call Biden's boys male prostitutes.

Letterman was clearly carrying water here for the liberal Democratic Party and just as clearly had it blow up in his face for once. Good. He NEEDS to be fired, just like Don Imus was fired.

OK, I stand corrected. If he knew that Willow was the daughter there then it is even more disgusting than I thought. Like I said I've never liked Letterman anyway.

He didn't. This is just a fantasy of Sarah Palin's creepy personality cult. They know all the children's names, and everything about them, so they figure everyone must. Who the hell knows the other kids' names, much less what ages they are? It's just more BS from Republicans, who can't seem to let it go.

You'd think they'd at least be smart enough realize that if trading insults with one comedian is a sucker's bet, then trading insults with a staff of four or five comedy writers is an even worse one, and let it go. Letterman apologized, Palin accepted, and the nuts go marching on.

you certainly do......
