    Talk about being dishonest.

    You know talking about sex education wouldn't warrant the joke about her being knocked up. It was obviously about her gotten pregnant.

    You are pathetic.

    what a ******* circus.

    I'm just gonna go on the record and say that, should I ever end up making the beast with two backs with Palin or her daughter, I'm going for the ass first.

    Those b****es seem to get pregnant even at the SIGHT of penis.

    I know it was about her having been pregnant. I wasn't trying to say that wasn't what the joke was about.

    I'm saying what made Bristol a public figure and why she exposes herself to those kinds of jokes.

    There is nothing dishonest about it.

    Again I'm not into political correctness as much as a lot of the conservative and Republican posters on this board seem to be.

    Women suck...

    Guys that are Democrats that have past women meltdown problems and listen to DMB, and think the mecca-like trip to Manchester, TN is the bomb.

    LMFAO at the idiots defending the Palins' honor from the fearsome attacks of D&D.

    They have the shelf-life of just a bit north of Susan Boyle.

    Be prepared to see Sarah on "The Apprentice" or "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!" soon.

    Goodbye Palins. It's been real. It's been fun. Accordingly, it HAS been real fun.

    It's one thing if her daughter led a private life, but when she becomes the spokegirl for how great it is to be a teen that gets knocked up - i think she's fair game. HOw is this different than making fun of miley or britney, or any other teen including boys?

    I thought the joke was stupid and classless, but I am not a fan of Letterman's anyway. But did he go to far? Nope. Not by a long shot.

    I don't think he caved.

    Letterman is a class act. He never told jokes about OJ. He never tells jokes about sex and kids.

    I think he genuinely felt bad that it was perceived in the wrong light...

    He did not do it out of pressure from anyone but himself.

    Lol @ people calling for CBS to fire him, especially when he just pulled in bigger ratings than Conan. How many people do you think have tuned in[/in] due to this?

    Took the classy route, good for Dave.

    Better than the classless joke made by Palin inferring Dave was a Pedofile.
