I have a funny joke:
Palin phobia: A new psychological disorder that afflicts left-wing ideologues, characterized by envy, hypocrisy, and irrational fits of rage.
Like it?
-
you got to remember that we are in America, land of the self righteous, hypocritical, and politically correct. They say that because technically a 14 year old has no idea of what they are doing yet, so if a person over 18 has sex with a minor, they obviously coerced the minor, therefore they call it RAPE. Yeah sounds kinda stupid to me too
-
What a jerk!
-
She put her knocked up daughter on the front of magazines. It is phony.
-
Fair enough.
And to keep things even, let's remember the Republicans (Rush and McCain specifically) have done much worse. But in this case we're talking about a comedian who's known for bad taste for the past 30 years, and has admit the same of this joke. The only person using this for political gain right now is Palin herself.
-
Either way it is very uncool to make fun of a politicians kids. You can attack the politician (even if that in my opinion is wrong) but never the politicians children for political gain.
-
Very well stated Mr. Walker.
-
all her daughters a whores!
-
Who is this nitwit? He is not funny, nor is David Letterman. The smugness needs to go.
-
It was not funny I hope all men who think this is funny about either daughter of any girl for that matter never have to worry about people cracking jokes about their daughters...God gets even in mysterious ways
-
He wasn't talking about the 14 year old. No reasonable person would assume that given Bristol's history and the way Palin made her a national story to serve her own ambition. And now she's twisting his words around to keep herself in the spotlight and boost fundraising.
Enough with the false outrage.
-
Speaking expert? Get a fucking like you dumb shit. If letterman was so smart, he would have said bristol's name in the joke. INSTEAD he didn't and talked about pailin's daughter at the game....and the 14 year old was the only daughter there. It was in bad taste and everyone knows it except dumb ass libs who are brainwashed by the liberal media. And dont forget libs...Obama's mother had him at 18! So you cant jump on bristol without making fun of your messiah's mother
-
The difference between his humor before and now is he is now picking on a child. How is it fair for a an adult man to pick on a 14 year old girl?
-
It's a phony outrage, it's all to push herself onto the global scene. Sarah Palin is white trash with money.
-
12 year old girl? Willow is 14. Check your facts sir!! So it is okay to joke about a 14 year old girl to be raped?? Or for that matter a 18 year old girl? You are sick sir!!! I only hope that you stay away from my daughters perv!!!
-
People are putting their politics, ahead of their morality.
-
David Letteraman is to blame because its his show. People are saying that he didnt write the jokes, but he should read all of them before he goes on the air.
-
The joke could have been easily understood as being about the 14 year and not the 18 year old. It could be interpretated either way. David Letterman should have known this and therefore not say the joke. So dont compare the sexually deviant, adulterer Bill Clinton with a 14 year old. Your judgements are way off so dont quit your DAY JOB.
-
Since when bulling is okay. Kids should be of limits.
How would you feel is someone talked about your daughter like that?
Obviously you dont have kids.
-
TJ walker.. finally someone with an intellectual opinion, too many right-wing republicans are taking this joke too far, along with Sarah Palin who will use this joke as an excuse to get some more media spotlight.
To Youtube commenters - The reason that people would get mad if someone said that about the Obama girls is because they don't have a history of teen pregnancies.
Have a Nice day.
-
They are both wrong. Sarah Palin and David Letterman are exposing each others faults Davids faults are obvious and there isnt space to explain them all. Palin should be ashamed of her daughter for lacking the family values to keep her legs closed. Sarah should turn tell her daught she is wrong instead of telling her she dons the right thing
-
Fair...give me a break. I anyone talked about my girls like that I would be pissed plus get your facts straight not 12 but 14, If I talked about taking boneing Obama's girls in the rose garden would that be ok? He is a public figure.
-
I agree with you. No one got this pissy over bill or his daughter. I truely believe that if dave would have know it was the 14 yr old He would NOT have said that joke. Besides that He doesn't always write his jokes so it shouldnt all be on DAVE. people need to chill out dave never said anything bout RAPING a child. Yall read to much into a JOKE!!!!!!!!! Chill out & move on with your life.
It wasn't funny, it wasn't fair, it was dispicable. She not a public figure and even if she was, it was still disrespectful. This isn't about politics T.J., Letterman is an ass, so are you for defending it. Stop sending me emails also, I just decided I don't want to read your books or any other crap from you. Is there any class left in this country?

I guess nobody values the old sayings anymore--2 wrongs dont make a right. Even if republicans were mean with jokes in the past does it make it right to make a joke about a 14 year. 2 wrongs dont make a right. Too many people in this country have no values anymore. Revenge is the way to go these days and no body, including good people or children is free from humiliation and ridicule. You should take a look in the mirror or maybe your afraid to. Terrible.
