How does a probable typo in your linked article relate to the fact that The Church Lady’s daughter didn’t listen to the abstinence chat? How does this relate to the fact that the Church Lady walks on her childrens’ backs for political gain?
Oh, hell, they all do. When you thrust yourself onto the public stage, you take your kids with you, they and your ambitions are hostage to each other.

“probable typo.” I love it. Sorry, but the Great One himself actually made the gaffe. I know it hurts but you’re gonna have to live with it.
An above poster wrote that Palin’s children are valid targets because she’s a “national joke.” I happen to consider Obama a “national joke.” But guess what? I still wouldn’t attack his kids. Not even under the pretense of a “joke.”
You’re an imbecile. I just thought I should let you know. 
I’m calling your sorry ass out on this little gem. You are deliberately misquoting Letterman to prop up your pathetic rant. The original Letterman joke never says Palin brought her daughter to the game; he said “One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game; during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.”
Big difference. The image of a promiscuous Brisket getting boned in the dugout to her mother’s chagrin is the thrust of the joke. Unless Willow is also an easy fuck, it makes no sense. It has nothing to do with who came to the game with the [del]slutty flight attendant[/del] Governor.
But that wouldn’t fit your neat little package of outrage, so you deliberately altered it for effect. What coward you are, you cannot even be trusted to honestly relate a joke that is spread all over the internet.
You’re going to have to come up with an audio link. You’ve already posted one incorrect complaint.
And again, comedians can pick on adult children of ‘national jokes’. I know most of the republican party appears to be in the comedy business, but actually politicians and comedians have different standards to adhere to.
I ain’t ascared of RuPaul.
I paraphrased to underscore the fact that Letterman was referring to an actual game to which Palin brought her daughter, Willow. She wasn’t there with Bristol and Letterman knows this now; hence, the awkward “apology.” I said I was paraphrasing, so I hardly see how I was “deliberately altering” his rude comment for effect.
How 'bout this?
Sarah Palin brings Willow to a Yankees game, and that night Letterman joked that A-Rod knocked the daughter up. Fair enough?
Not at all; you are still mischaracterizing what Letterman said by the use of “the daughter”, deliberately trying to mislead readers that he is talking about the daughter referred to at the beginning of the sentence. Why not just quote Letterman accurately, and let the readers decide? Or is there too much wiggle room for people to see that he was making a joke at Brisket’s expense? Hell, the joke works even if Palin didn’t bring any daughters to the game; Brisket is so uncontrollable, she could be getting poked anywhere, at anytime, even in the Yankee dugout. That’s the humor.
Easy enough. Find it at 12:40
Very good, Carol! “Wreck” and “wreak” *are *two different words, with different letters in them. One has a “C” and one has an “A”! Now who’d like to explain to **Carol **what a *homophone *is?
No, Shodan, it’s not a “pink cell phone.”
Stephe96, I’m not going to tell you again to get those crayons *out *of your nose…
Look at it this way. Rudy Giuliani was at the game in question with Sarah and Willow. They spend all day in the stands eating popcorn and Cracker Jacks and rooting for the (evil) Yankees. Everyone has a great time. Rudy comes home and turns on Letterman and hears this joke:
“One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game; during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.”
Now. Which daughter could Rudy reasonably assume is being referenced? I agree that you and I and Rudy would all reluctantly give Letterman the benefit of the doubt and concede that he was talking about Bristol. (You, I’m sure, wouldn’t be so reluctant.) But can you at least admit that Letterman’s nasty attempt at humor could also be construed as a swipe at the younger sister? She was there; Bristol wasn’t.
Letterman certainly understands this. That’s why he felt compelled to clarify that the rude comment was aimed at the older sister. Why else would he even bother to do that if it was so clear who the “joke” was aimed at?
Letterman took a swing at Palin and miscalculated huge. I have no problem with Sarah Palin now having her turn to make a few barbed comments of her own at Letterman’s expense. He’s a big boy; he can take it.
And I’m still predicting a real apology. Letterman’s best move would have been to issue a statement late this afternoon specifically apologizing to the Palins, and accepting full responsibility for the botched stab at humor. The weekend news cycles would have been all “Dave apologizes” for two full days, Palin could’ve issued a statement accepting the apology and the entire thing would be forgotten by Monday’s show. They both would’ve come out classy.
Where’s you cite that “Wreck” is a perfectly common and acceptable pronunciation for the word “wreak.” ?
Fair enough. I’ll concede this point. But it hardly means that I think Obama has any clue he’s using an accepted variant pronunciation.
No, I don’t, unless you are deliberately listening for zebras. The joke is about sexual promiscuity and teen pregnancy. Which of Palin’s daughters has gone on national television to talk about her own promiscuity and teen pregnancy? I repeat; the joke works even if Palin didn’t take any daughters to the game.
Oooh! Oooh! I know!
They’re the ones ruining marriage, right?
12’40":
He must have really mispronounced wreak - I didn’t hear him say it at all!
Start at 12:40 and listen for about 10 or 15 seconds. You’ll hear it. I promise.
Republicans are so hard up for attention that they have to latch on to this?
Fuck Palin and her promiscuous crotch fruit. The younger one might not be pregnant now, but give her a few days/weeks.
Again, if the target of the nasty comment is so obvious, why did Letterman feel compelled to clarify who he was talking about?
