"The View" Talks about David Lettermans Apology to Sarah Palin and Daughters

[paulallan1000]

Americans,sense of humour? The idiot yanks wouldn't know a joke or sarcasm if it kicked them in the arse

[writersblock26]

Thank you for posting this, RandomClips2008.

[writersblock26]

Geez, is Sarah Plain writing a book in that apology acceptance? Oh, wait a minute...she already did.

[Kyocera234]

why is that black guy reading his que cards, so obvious

[vorvolakas1]

I really hate that fat, used up, burnt out, stupid bitch in the purple sitting next to Whopi.

[Fleursdelily]

These gluttonous pigs are always asking for an apology after being force fed a taste of their own goddamn medicine. ¬_¬

[terrryc]

If you grafted all these bitches together, you might have one serviceable half-wit. Miserable @unts........

[natmanprime]

just cos an apology is made, it doesn't mean that it has to be accepted. It is then up to the 'acceptor' whether or not she wants to accept it. And that should depend on whether or not she is convinced by it.

If she's not convinced, there's nothing wrong in refusing to accept the apology.

Thats her business.

[blindescape01]

If I was at the letterman show when he gave the apology I would have booed

[woah455]

Elisabeth please shut up. Now I respect the troops, most are doing it out of love for their country and that's honorable, but they have nothing to do with Letterman's derogatory statements about Bristol! Joy is right. Palin is just using this issue to show everyone how good she is or whatever. Palin 2012 is a disaster and I hope it doesn't happen.

[woah455]

The soldiers are fighting to protect our freedom of speech? Someone tell me how...

[Darren9077]

they are so full of s&^%. over 50% of America could care less about our military men and women.

[glowingcat]

@Darren9077 Probably because they currently aren't defending our right from anything 0.0, just bombing and killing shit.

[Darren9077]

@glowingcat "just bombing and killing shit?" Really? How about the relief efforts in Pakistan, Haiti, Thailand etc.? And if they aren't, protecting our country and preserving our constitutional rights-then who is? You? I don't think so. Plus it's a volunteer military we have. If there was a draft you can bet there'd be more people who cared.

[showoffverrado]

when ever Elizabeth or how ever you spell her fucking name makes me think of the noise of the peanut gallery

[tiggs95]

Dems are so two faced..

[Bolgi]

These women just talk nonsense and solve nothing. They are a waste of time.

[newyorkeastside]

no one respects these old spinsters for the way they treated a woman.....especially a "woman" who has made great strides for woman in the political world. Frankly, Joy Bewhore and Whoopi Golddyke have done nothing for the opinion of woman. Especially Barabara who wrote a book about commiting adultery with a black man while he was married which greatly upset his wife of 35 years.....Sherry is just old school ignorant.

Elizabeth is going to take the offer of her own talk show!

[lavinder11]

@Bolgi

... They're job is to talk, not solve anything. Providing solutions is the job of our so-called elected politicians.

[kurtu5]

Since when has my right to speech been threatened by brown people in countries far away?

What a fucking lie. Iran and Iraq are not going to WIN and take away our rights. Its propaganda. We are murdering millions. Its our holocaust and one day we will be forced from our homes to go look at our Buchenwald and see what we have sanctioned.

Shame on you. For accepting this lie in Sarah's apology. What David did pales in comparison.

[viperdawg41192]

Watching the view is like watching a bunch of 1st graders yelling back and forth at each other about who is it for hide and go seek.

[dxsmackdown8]

letterman is a sick freak & is a closet child molester, most likely. fuck the bastard ! hes a disgusting, dirty old man

[MrFreeLibertarian]

Good thing we don't have a "view" of Joy Behar's back hair.

[truepowerbombking]

letterman is so disgusting to make a joke about a 14 yr old young girl getting raped by a baseball player ! thats just freaking sick ! thats why angelina jolie was right about letterman when she said she sensed something "really perverted' about him. hes a sick, dirty old lecher

[Apis4]

Except that not the jokes he made, idiot. Even if it was.... some of the fuinniest comedians in the world are also the sickest, Americans need to get some perspective.

[haendel8a]

Do Americans really feel like the soldiers in iraq and afgahnistan fight for their right of free- speach? As an european I don`t get that at all. I mean our troops are in afgahnistan as well but I don`t feel like the save ME down their. If they would not be there I would be free as well. But thousands of people would still be alive.

[oo1cookie]

they debate the quality and speed in which letterman gives the apology, forgetting that he shouldn't need to apologize in the first place, he's a comedian, hello?

[newyorkeastside]

@oo1cookie HELLLLOOOO.....these woman on the view are disgusting.

[newyorkeastside]

@oo1cookie HELLLLOOOO.....these woman on the view are disgusting.

[bobszvetics1]

@oo1cookie HES A COMEDIAN YOU COULD OF FOOLED ME

[yeahright123go]

letterman did not joke about the 14 yr. old girl he joked about the 18 yr bitch who got pregnant...so i think is not that promiscous or pervert.....is actually kinda funny

[breakeranointingman]

david letterman is a sick, perverted, lecherous dirty old man! to make jokes about a 14 year old getting RAPED by a hispanic baseball player that letterman dislikes shows his racism & deviant sick pedophilic lust ! the vermin should be fired ! what kind of sick, twisted slimeball gets off on telling jokes about palin's FOURTEEN year old daughter getting RAPED ! sick bastard needs psychological help- and for God's sake, keep him away from all little girls

[elijahablaze]

which one of you fucking nimrod idiots actually thinks that letterman was appropriate makin jokes about a 38 year old baseball player raping & impregnating a FOURTEEN year old girl ? you sick,twisted fucks probably have same deep seeded sick sexuals desires for minors that deviant dave letterman has ! c'mon you spineless cowards-answer the damn question-if letterman made a joke about YOUR 14 year old daughter getting raped & impregnated by rodriguez, would you STILL think the jokes were funny ?

[KellyGreen5555]

Letterman was fine. Elisabeth is a moron.

[RobertKlayton]

These are not the sharpest tacks in the box.

I wonder how many of the staff of this show had daughter's Letterman was porking while they worked as aids for him. LOL!

[Budsmoker72]

omg who can watch these dumb ass bitches lol. 1 ugly ass black bitch and 1 ugly ass old bitch and 3 dumb ass fugly lookin bitches lmao omg tff

[spiritualaccent]

douchebags like david letterman are perverts, philanderers & dirty old men ! letterman is a reprobate who made reprehensible sex/ rape jokes abbout palins FOURTEEN year old daughter- THATS SO SICK ! now we find out that this nasty bastard of a talk show host has been sleeping around with his staff & sleeping with prostitutes,all-the-while being involved with his now wife & at the time signifigant other . letterman is 1 sick, twisted lecherous geriatric sex maniac. put his butt off of tv !

[sarzies05]

haha really

[jacksonwaspedo]

WHY woud the poster refer to these douche bags as ladies? ladies? these douches are as far from being ladies as it gets.

[gulfmar]

The only reason he apologized is because his under fire. He is rich and famous but I wouldn't like to be on his shoes right now. This really vindicates Sarah Pallin and makes an a.s.s out of Dave.

[capmorgn2]

and it took you this long to reply to my post? what have you been doing all this time?? youre an idiot

[conservative75]

The only fucking idiot is you LOL, supporting a whore named Palin. You fucking idiot. 100% you are a white redneck son of a bitch. Get a job you low life scum, George Bush masturbating cunt face.

[conservative75]

Fucking coward. Retarded bastard who does not even know how to spell indigenous.

[capmorgn2]

..its the only big word you know, thats why you use it so much you monkey fucker..thats how aids started ya know, your people fucking monkeys, brought that shit to the states...

[Ecksntrick8]

But YOU can spell badly?

[conservative75]

What the fuck are you on about. Your the loner who joins in on discussions. You must have been bullied at school. Stay out of the discussion you retard. You probably voted for Palin. Free Healthcare is evil to you hahahah. Stupid bastard Americans who think free healthcare is bad. The UK forever!!!! fuck the USA and its evil healthcare system, you sick bastards let people die if they cannot afford an operation.

[Ecksntrick8]

Are you high? I'm the smartest around here.  So, apology accepted too.

[conservative75]

Do you research you silly white bastard. Aids was invented by a white man in the 1970's. You are clearly fucking stupid. Your the sort of person that believes World Trade Centre 7 building collapsed magically and believe what your media tells you. No plane hit it lol. Your a typical retarded american immigrat, go back home to england you terrorist.

[shelleyc89]

Sorry if this offends any viewers, but can Elizabeth please shut the fuck up!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if she's so concerned with everyone accepting the republican view maybe she should work for Fox.

[grayabc1234]

How ironic that Palin used the word 'evolve' in her response when she claims not to believe in evolution. She is, as we say in Britain, taking the piss

[krasher1027]

Elizabeth Hesselbitch...

[MidnightChimes]

Now if Bristol Palin would apologize for getting pregnant.

[Threading30]

lol!

[capmorgn2]

Letterman didnt apologise until they protested his show...he would rather spend several days making up crappy reasons trying to defend his jokes when bottom line is he knew the second he read them they were over the line, just as wanda sykes knew she was over the line with what she said about Rus..i used to like Letterman but over the past several years i have lost alot of respect for him

[conservative75]

you americans are really fucking stupid, that bitch hasselbeck wants freedom of speech, its freedom of speech he can say whatever the fuck he wants, fuck palins opinion racist white whore

[capmorgn2]

and it is freedom of speech, as long as it isnt offensive to others..thats that part that everyone has forgotten..its freedom of speech when you insult someone, but when its you being insulted there is nothing you can do because its fredom of speech..thats bullshit..i have rights too and fuck you and your freedom of speech

..and since it is freedom of speech go fuck yourself you foreign bastard

[conservative75]

Isn't offensive to others? are you fucking stupid, the americans swear at muslims and blacks every day. By the way capmorgn2, your the fucking foreigner in america, you stupid white ass hole, your not indigenous to the land, go back to europe you white bastard, who you calling foreign, whites should go back to europe fucking funny that a white bastard is saying a non white is an immigrant

[capmorgn2]

not sure what cult you are a part of or how you could call yourself a conservative there conservative75 but the only thing you have proven is that you are an idiot...its funny how you assumed i am not white when i havnt said anything at all about what race i am, its people like you that keeps racism alive..go fuck yourself conservative75

[MidnightChimes]

It's actually the freedom to speak out against one's government without being punished. The Republicans are only 'remembering' that now that a Democrat is in office. Notice how the Democrats aren't suppressing free speech against the government? Could you see protesters bringing guns to a Bush event? I didn't think so.

[ChurchillTea]

Not enough people remember our troops other than to mention their names when they die. I think the statement was fine

[bdawg117]

it amazes me how many things on this planet elisabeth simply has no grasp of.

it seems she thinks she can filibuster her way into winning any and all arguments simply by saying as many illogical, usually wrong, and often deeply emotional thoughts which derail the more or less civil discussion and turn it into a free for all.

she might be dumb, but she knows exactly what she's doing. she's done it for every political topic that's come up for pretty much as long as she's been on the show

[FASHIONISTADARLING]

Fine, I see you are so offended by my use of the f word. So here I'll write this in "intellectual" terms.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck has no true knowledge on any of the topics she discusses. Palin could have just accepted the apology instead of going on about how the troops give people the right to speak out. She did not have to go and prolong the statement into an entire essay. She's a rambler and obviously not good at talking to the press.

There is that "intellectual" enough for you?

[FASHIONISTADARLING]

omg elizabeth just shut up you fucking bitch. and omg the soldiers have nothing to do with the fucking apology. they are so fucking stupid

[zeecee1]

Sarah brought up the right to respond and free speech, which has everything to do with our soldiers fighting for that right.

[robray47]

Well, you're obviously an intellectual, based on your use of the "f" word...can you not express yourself in an educated manner...thus, your opinion is completely disqualified.

[newyorkeastside]

@FASHIONISTADARLING no one respects these old spinsters for the way they treated a woman.....especially a "woman" who has made great strides for woman in the political world. Frankly, Joy Bewhore and Whoopi Golddyke have done nothing for the opinion of woman. Especially Barabara who wrote a book about commiting adultery with a black man while he was married which greatly upset his wife of 35 years.....Sherry is just old school ignorant.

Elizabeth is going to take the offer of her own talk show!

[benbenben888888]

his apology is like a shit.

[gerhard321]

It is just like the View to spend too much wasted time nit picking the tiniest things that don't matter.

[charliebubblesoar]

Elisabeth can never side against her right wing views or Republicans, even when they do stupid political shit or have OBVIOUS ulterior motives. She's still defending Sarah Palin and George Bush. The other ladies usually see both sides or have good points/counterpoints. When a Democrat does something equally as stupid, they call 'em out. I'm glad that there is a non-liberal on the panel, but maybe get someone who can speak without crying, attacking, whining, bitching, and being so childish.

[sandroeleven]

Why can't people ever see Li's side?

[guicho0o]

Hasselbeck's always on Republican nuts....Almonds, walnuts, etc...ahahaha.

[sabinal01]

I was out of tje counrty what did David say? that upset Sara

[Adagio2424]

sarah pallin has said worse and he shouldnt have appologized he didnt say anything that bad she basically called him a pervert amd implied that he is doing something with young girls

[candieondabch]

joy's right... as usual.

[silvereagle2061]

Joy's an ass as usual.

[friendlychick79]

freedom of speech, my ass

[goatgirl08]

I think David Letterman shouldn't have had to apologize. I thought it was a funny joke and people should have chilled out.

[Reaganwannabe]

jokes by a, how the hell old is he? i think in his 50s about 14 year old girls is just creepy, he should (and did) apologize, rightfully so. 14 year old children are not targets for a political campaign it's wrong, oh wait, you don't believe in right and wrong, nevermind

[goatgirl08]

Wait. It was a joke, he's supposed to be controversial. I thought it was funny, and Palin should have chilled out. I mean, I guess she could have let him know if she felt it wasn't cool, but to make such a huge deal out of it is stupid.

And seriously? We've discussed my religion before, and you don't get it. I'm not going to discuss it with you now. It's pointless. Grow up and get a life.

[Reaganwannabe]

would you hold that same standard if you had a 14 year old daughter who was amde into a target by a national comeidan on TV? think hard before answering

[goatgirl08]

I would probably be annoyed. But acting like a child and turning it into a huge deal isn't going to show your daughter how to handle a situation like that.

[Reaganwannabe]

acting like a child? she shot back at letterman, her huge base of public support reacted to the call, and made letterman say sorry, it was by the book, she acted like a true stateman(woman) and a mother

[goatgirl08]

Umm. Did you listen to her speech there? That sounded pretty stupid and childish to me....

[Reaganwannabe]

yes i did, it was finely delivered and well-recieved, The left can't win this one, letterman apologized and won't do it again, Palin won this one, Letterman lost, the public at large approves of palin's speech over letterman's, say what you wish, no offense intended, but you're sounding dumb just defending letterman on this one

[sexyfoxx86]

I don't think this is a left or right situation. The fact of the matter is that Letterman was wrong, whether you are a democrat or republican there is nothing right about making jokes about minors and adult men having sexual moments.

[goatgirl08]

Her speech, Reag. What the hell do soldiers have to do with anything? I think that she's just trying to set herself up for 2012.

[Reaganwannabe]

one, this is not a speech, it's a statement, released in private to FOX and probably sold out, by a mole.

two, the point is valid, he has a right because of the troops, her own son is in the armed forces

three, i have a feeling the view may not be using actual material, i googled this statement and couldn't find the original

[hotram1]

The first amendment protects David Letterman fron Governor Sarah Palin, not the other way around, She can't use it as part of her defense because it doesn't apply to her situation. She's an idiot.

[blackski112]

to me it seemed as though she wasnt using the first amendment to 'defend' her apology, she was using it as a sort of 'well at least were lucky we can live in a country where letterman can say that without being shot.' of course im not a fan of palin but i dont think shes an idiot. and you may totally disagree, im just trying to give ya something to think about. not to quote palin or anything but thank god we live in country where we can have opinions

[hotram1]

Yeah I see your point, however she was clearly not speaking about it the way you are suggesting,

[shelleyc89]

If you actually watch his full apology, he explains that he was unaware the 14 year old daughter was the one at the ball game. He also stated that he would never have made that kind of a joke if he had known Willow was there.

[shanana000]

Those liberal women on the view are Palinaphobic!!!!

[PeterSenderos]

I think that's a justifiable fear

[shanana000]

And i'm Obamaphoic and it's justifiable.

[PeterSenderos]

Only if you believe everything the conservatives say about him. Even then it's a stretch. Hes not socialist, but what is so bad about socialism?

Palin is scary without any additional commentary

[trav022007]

why would they fire him??? what about are free speech rights???

[mattleroi]

Can anybody answer the following question:

How is the military occupying Iraq defending the right to free speech in the USA?

[Z0hann]

It dosent, them being in Afghanistan does.

[mattleroi]

How? Serious question so I would like a serious answer

[Z0hann]

If you have to ask, you're not looking for a serious answer.

[mattleroi]

Obviously you dont know then.

If there are any adults on here up for a debate I would challenge the fact that the military is defending the right to free speech in the USA. The current wars are offensive wars, and wars of choice, not a defence of the nation against another nation wishing to overthrow it.

[Z0hann]

I do know, but I am just not willing to get into a debate on the wars. The issue has been beaten like a dead horse as it is, its a waste of my time since obviously your mind is made up.

Good luck to you, and no hard feelings I am not trying to be rude, just saying I wont get in the argument. Especially over the internet.

[eqsmooth]

The fat black chick (the one who thinks the world is flat) and the blond (quarterback wife) chick are wildly cuckoo and stupid. Palin exploited her girls way more than David Letterman. This was another chance to be on TV for the b-itch who is not even qualified to be a slutty flight attendant. unbelievable. i'd rather watch Obama swat flies like David Carradine all day than hear this b.s. Palin is great fodder. She will never run a country. She should stay home taking care of way too many kids.

[ponyboy316]

Wow America, you really lost your sense of humor when Carlin died.

[ponyboy316]

They all missed her biggest problem with her statement. First amendment doesn't protect free speech on television. It merely keeps government from saying what can be said. Basically. It protects Letterman from people like..... SARAH PALIN!

[alstonpmaroon]

Sarah Palin owes AMERICA an apology for TERRORIZING us during the presidential campaign. And for being annoying, under-qualified, uninformed and for that HORRIBLE "Canadian" accent. I am glad that woman is NOWHERE near the White House.

[ChurchillTea]

Well, if you're a democrat you probably don't care and if you're republican you probably do; sad that people just can't have core values that cross party lines.

[peopleschamp21]

im so sick of hearing this. i think this whole thing is being blown way out of proportion. Letterman is a comedian, hes been doing this for over 30 years now and on top of that he did apologize even though there was nothing foul about what he said. Sarah Palin's daughter was knocked up for real so whats the fuzzin about. We need to quit being sensitive about every little thing. ITS JUST A JOKE!!!!!!! i think most of yall need hugs

[honeyhued08]

I know i was kind of disappointed when Jamie Foxx apologized for a comment about Miley Cyrus, who cares it was just a joke...

and this falls right along the lines of it.

Let the COMEDIANS do their job!

[ponyboy316]

They can't. People are pussies these days.

[spivedog77]

Well tell me something Elizabeth, what does our troops overseas have anything to do specifically about Letterman's joke when it comes to Palin's daughter?

Letterman stated in his apology that his joke was misinterpreted and intent was different and he was to blame for the joke, it was his fault and he admits it. If Letterman had to apologize to everyone his "jokes" have ever offended, he wouldn't have a show.

Liz, you need to get off your high horse. Palin is clearly milking this thing.

[lees20022]

NO ...Just because you don't like Palin doesn't mean her children are open targets.

Even NOW , a liberal leftist org, has put Letterman in their Hall of Shame.

Sponsors have pulled thier ads and the networks complaint line has been burnng up., even Letterman has admitted he was WRONG.

[lees20022]

***unacceptable , I meant

[lees20022]

What kind of idiot (below) would think that just because Palin acknoledged she had children on the campaign trail that it's perfectly fiine to go after them, just because they exist.

Despite what people claim, this has not happened in American politics before.

14 year old girls and sexual implicit statements or any negative commentary about them are acceptable

Leave the children alone!!

She did not "parade' her children anymore than Barack Obama.

Obama's girls are equally off limits!!

[showoffverrado]

Here is what I find annoying.. why do peopel think it is okay t bash David for doing his job? It is palins fault in the first place that her kids are int eh media.. if you want your kids off limits then you keep them at home.. dont go parading them on stage and radio and tv thinking that they are free from a punchline when in fact, her 17-18 year old daughter was knocked up. Screw palin.. focus on Alaska and go the hell away.

[showoffverrado]

sorry for the typos lol

[Wahpiti1]

Imus was wrong when he made inappropriate remarks about young women and it cost him his job. The same should go for David Letterman. These women are the most liberal uninformed ladies that I know and their comments are taken with a grain of salt. No one should be allowed to say such things about children and Sarah had every right to defend her own.

[zenithdoom]

Letterman's Top 10 list was a pre-planned thing by the writers. So it this case, CBS was the one to be faulted. Imus blurted out some spontaneous crap that was unplanned. So he deserved to be fired.

[Wahpiti1]

Letterman had a choice not to read it. Bottom line is...he thought it was funny and now he is being held accountable. No one else would put up with someone saying something like that about their daughter and that includes Lewtterman.

[zenithdoom]

David has told plenty of worse and even more tasteless jokes about people and their family. All of us understand that those are just jokes but not Palin. She used this on her advantage to gain the media spotlight and acting like an idiot not understanding the joke trying to be a victim while pushing the only daughter not in the public spotlight into it.

Palin instead slandered David and alleging that he's some pedo or sick freak because of a JOKE. Palin needs to start to have a sense of humour.

[Wahpiti1]

If she finds that type of humor offensive, then she has every right to state that. You don't have to agree with her, but she has a right to feel about it any way she wants. Thanks for the comment. :)

[zenithdoom]

Actually, the 1st amendment protects letterman's joke while it does not protect Palin's slanderous remark about letterman. She should apologize for making an untrue statement in public.

[Wahpiti1]

If she is stating it as her opinion, then yes, it is protected by the 1st amendment. If it were actual slander, then David would have sued. We as a society should not think that any "jokes" like these are funny when they are at the expense of children.

[biggerthanyoupal]

Hasselbeck, a media whore like Sarah Palin. She beats up Letterman stating overstepped standing in media careless in talking about other people on-air, EH on Michael Phelps: If someone can use a drug that decreases your performance, whos to say he wouldnt use a drug to enhance his performance. EH on gays: their lifestyle is a vice. EH the worlds biggest hypocrite.

It was a funny joke, not too far off the mark for the 14 y/o

Sarah Palin, as bad as Ann Coulter

Rock on Dave!

[GroinPuller]

how annoying !

[CristianParker10021]

Joy, Um...good AA meetings are hysterical! Go to the Atlantic Group in NYC or better yet, go to HIgh Noon, the big gay AA meeting in the village! That is comedy.

[yolowell]

Both Palin & Hasselbeck are stupid, obnoxious and annoying. I wish they BOTH would go away.

[JaniceJolo]

Does this mean that Palin will finally GO AWAY????

[toolateturk]

Power to Letterman. I truly don't think he meant anything about rape with the the 14 year old daughter - I mean, heck, the oldest daughter did it once - that's where the joke lies. Bad taste - yes, funny, yes - lesson learned - yes, I believe so. Power to Dave.

[prverde]

Letterman is vulgar and should be fired. Sarah Palin and her daughters should be respect the way he respects the Obama daughters and Chelsea Clinton. By the way the Obams paraded their girls at their campaigns

[PaleLittleGirl1]

i hope this is the last we hear of this! I am so sick of it!!!!

sarah palin must be upset she has to find another way to get herself on tv now...

and wtf at the end to the soldiers?!  it's so random and has nothing to with the situation.

[uru86]

Palin made this into an issue, of course its purely political. Although, I think Palin made a complete ass-tool of herself by going so far to accuse Letterman of being a potential pedo.

[qandrews719]

PAILIN IS A PAIN IN MY ASS
