Palin also suggested that Letterman was a child molester too.
Move on lady it was a joke

Anyone who believes that Letterman didn't intend to make a joke about the ADULT older daughter is the one with with politically motivated blinders on.
Letterman should apologize for making a bad taste joke that could have been taken as a HORRIBLE joke, he did. Anyone who thinks that Letterman meant to make a pregnancy joke about a 14 year old sister who has never been pregnant instead of the 18 year old who has been pregnant, you need your sanity checked.

The joke was about Bristol. Unless a joke about getting knocked up was magically attributed to any daughter other than the one famous for being knocked up.

Bristol was in Alaska.
Willow was at the Yankee game with Mom. The joke was about the Yankee game.
Was it a mistake possibly, but the joke IS about Willow as she was at the game. You simply can't argue that point.
The context of the joke is Palin with daughter at the game and impregnated while at the game.
You are the one with blinders. Contextually, the joke is about the daughter at the game. There is NO way Alex Rodriguez impregnated Bristol in Alaska while at the game.
Also just like we can't say for certain he knew it was the younger daughter, you can't say for certain some smartass writer thought it would be funny. Dave doesn't write every joke.

Good job Afreaux. Keep the insults coming. It seems to be the only way you can talk about anything.

The name of the daughter was never said by Letterman and very possibly never said to him. You hear "Palin is at the game with her daughter" you will think of the more famous daughter. That's who the audience thought the joke was about, and unless someone told Letterman and/or the writer specifically "Hey its the youngest daughter at the game!" that is probably what they thought.
Letterman even made it clear, with no reason not to believe him, that the joke was meant to be about the oldest daughter. He apologized for the misunderstanding. How and why would his story not be believable?
Its only not believable if you want to stretch probability because it favors your point of view.

You say "context clues" but I don't think that means what you think it means. It was a pregnancy joke. The context clues points to the joke being about the daughter that was actually previously pregnant.

They did not bother to see which daughter was at the game. It may have been MEANT to be about Bristol but it WAS about the daughter at the game.
No matter what the intent, it was Willow at the game.
Imus had no racist intent, but he still paid the price of his statement.

And they apologized. Would I be upset as a parent? Sure. Would I give a crap as an Obama supporter if in 8 years the oldest Obama daughter has a child out of wedlock and a joke is made about the youngest daughter on accident? Hell no. All a reasonable person should ask for is an apology from a comedian in this situation.

The context was the YANKEE game. Palin and daughter were at the game. She was impregnated AT THE GAME.
You keep going with what they MEANT and not what actually happened.
It was Willow at the game not Bristol.
They may have had the intent for the joke to be about Bristol. But she was not at the game.
Once again, Imus had no racist intent. He is not a racist. Yet he was fired for the statement not his intent.

His apology was not the least bit sincere. He retold the joke explaining how Palin misunderstood the joke. Retelling all of the jokes again is not a way to apologize.
An apology would have been I am sorry. We went too far with the joke....end of apology. Instead he kept going and retold all of the jokes.
By the way, I am not advocating that Letterman be fired. I just think it was out of line.

I can understand why some people would knock Letterman for telling a joke about Bristol. But the vast majority of his viewers recognize that her mom thrust her into the spotlight as part of her campaign, and she kept herself in the spotlight by doing recent interviews with magazines like People. She's an adult, she's a public figure. It was a funny joke, and I've seen the critical posters on this site laughing at more offensive things on this forum.
What's sad is that there are people who are simply too stupid to understand the context of the joke, and who pretend as though Dave was knowingly telling a sex joke about a 14 year old. fricking morons, all of them.

I see a compromise to this.
I think we can all agree that there is a double standard, that Letterman wold not have made these jokes about a Democrat, that he should get the same punishment as Imus, and that Bristol and Willow are really stupid names.

Once again Afreaux. You can't go one single post without calling people stupid.
