Why do you think his little kid is a bastard?
Wikipedia says:
I guess that would make David Letterman’s son illegitimate, or a “bastard,” to put it in antiquated terms. Bringing this up is really clutching at straws, though.
Wikipedia also sez:
A 17-year monogamous relationship counts as common-law marriage, I would assume. So Harry’s technically not a bastard at all, unless you want to argue that Dave’s a member of European royalty, or something.
Hmmm, feminist group lacks a sense of humor… anybody in the last 40 years have any jokes about that?
I believe there were two in this very thread.
Again, from this lefty’s point of view, NOW has ALWAYS been unintentionally hilarious.
I particularly like how she totally pulled a Letterman when Lauer pressed her:
Apparently her jokes are open for interpretation, but Letterman’s are all rape jokes.
Look, guys, I hate Palin as much as anyone, but can we stop calling Bristol a whore/slut/tramp, etc.? Getting knocked up does not make a teenage girl a whore; it makes her unlucky. We all know at least one normally responsible person who had a pregnancy scare (or worse) before they turned 21. Some of you doubtless are those people.
Sure, this new abstinence kick she’s on makes her a hypocrite- but calling her a whore just makes you look bad (and me too, since I’m on your side).
By the way, Google up some pictures of Letterman’s wife, Regina Lasko. Yikes! I think I now understand a little bit why he would be so irrationally hateful to an attractive woman like Sarah Palin. He probably wishes Regina could pull off the ‘slutty flight attendant’ look; instead, she’s stuck with looking like a pug-ugly linebacker!
There’s a damn good reason why he never mentions Lasko and she’s very rarely seen in public.
Oh, grow the fuck up. Yes, Letterman who pals around with known terrorists like Julia Roberts hates attractive women.
Right, just when one thinks this thread could not possibly be more trivial and pointless, now we are being asked to conduct a referendum on the presumed ugliness of David Letterman’s wife.
In fairness, Ms. Lasko, though undoubtedly a nice lady, is rather homely.
On the other hand, if he had some bangin’ twentysomething on his arm I’d bet Stephe96 would have something to say about that, too.
Everybody gets your attempt at humor, Stephe96. Get a life already.
Let me get this straight. Letterman refers to Palin as “slutty” and then tells a joke about her daughter having sex at Yankee Stadium. The Palins respond by saying they’d prefer to keep their daughter away from a guy who would say those things…and that is the statement that the horrendously balding Matt Lauer thinks might be in “bad taste?”
Honestly, you don’t know whether to laugh or cry…
He didn’t call her slutty. He said she had slutty style. Saying someone dresses like a slut and calling someone a slut one are two different things.
And she didn’t say she didn’t want her daughter around someone who would say those things. She said he “can’t be trusted” around her. To any parent, that’s code for molester. And when Lauer gave her an opportunity to clarify that comment (and probably deny that particular interpretation), she said “Take it however you want to take it.”
When reading your contribution to this thread, one’s only choice is to laugh. Pathetic.
First of all, nice Palinization in the repeated, and retarded, interpretation of the joke. The joke was not about anybody having sex. If it were, the punchline would have been “A-Rod stuffed his pecker up her hoo-haa” or something. It was a comment on the fact that Bristol Palin, despite her sterling abstinence only upbringing, some how managed to get pregnant. And on A-Rod’s allegedely philandering ways.
Second, my comment was on the fact that when Palin offers some truly stupid, back-peddling interpretation of her own joke … well that’s perfectly legitimate and in no way shows any sort of hypocricy whatsoever.
I know whether to laugh or cry. I’ll laugh … because this whole pile of goofiness is nothing but laughable. On the other hand, I hope she keeps up until Letterman makes *her *cry. She’s a fucking nitwit.
How did Letterman become their Bete Noir? Just because his target was Sarah Palin and her kid?
Generally I think it’s in poor taste to go after a Politician’s kids. That “Chelsea Clinton is ugly.” stuff on Saturday Night Live was just cruel. Talking about how ugly a 13 year old girl is on TV is pretty nasty. It made me not quite so sad when what’s his face died because it showed how cruel and nasty a man he really was. So targetting Sarah Palin’s daughter is bad just because he’s making her the subject, but this is incredibly mild as far as it goes.
So do you think all of the ladies or gentlemen of the Dope who had sex as teenagers are similarly tramps?
Dave Letterman clearly comes out on top. Last night he said “everything’s Ok between ma and Sarah Palin: she’s invited me to go hunting with her”. I would have added “She told me it was at the suggestion of Dick Cheney… I don’t know what that means.”
She knows she cannot go on the show without losing. Dave can explain and defend his jokes but how can Palin answer the question “what do you mean when you say you want to keep your daughter away from me? What exactly do you think I might do to your daughter?”
She’s an embarrassment.
