NBC’s Early Today Bags on Sarah Palin for Calling David Letterman Pathetic As Letterman Calls Palin’s Daughter a Prostitute
Flap awoke this morning to the Early Today show on NBC. Near the end of the program the young woman anchor launches into a tirade about Sarah Palin not being a good sport or being exempt from late night comedy parody. Then she mentioned the David Letterman Show and mentioned Letterman’s Top Ten Highlights of Sarah Palin’s Trip to New York bit by Letterman on Monday night.
As you recall in his routine, David Letterman denigrates Sarah Palin by listing the following top ten highlights:
10. Visited New York landmarks she normally only sees from Alaska
9. Laughed at all the crazy-looking foreigners enter the U.N..
8. Made moose jerky on Rachael Ray
7.Keyed Tina Fey’s car
6. After a wink and a nod, ended up with a kilo of crack
5. Made coats out of New York city rat pelts
4. Sat in for Kelly Ripa. Regis couldn’t tell the difference.
3. Finally met one of thise Jewish people Mel gibson’s always talking about
2. Bought makeup at Bloomingdale’s to update her “slutty flight attendant” look
1. Especially enjoyed not appearing on Letterman
Let’s see in the top ten list he calls Sarah Palin:
- A SLUT
- A Jew Hater or anti-Semite
- A dumbass/unintelligent woman
- Anti-immigrant
- A Yokel
Ok, Sarah Palin is a POL and can take the direct criticism and can take it like she did with Tina Fey and Saturday Night Live during the campaign last Fall. But, then Letterman goes after her daughter, Bristol or Willow.
Here is the bit about Letterman saying that Palin’s daughter, 19 year old Bristol, an unwed and single mother was “knocked up” by New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez. But, it was the 14 year old Willow Palin who accompanied her mother to the Yankees game.
Is there ANY wonder why Palin responded that David Letterman was “PATHETIC?”
Letterman’s routines go way out of the mainstream of comedy and are mean-spirited and hateful political diatribes. Do you hear anyone mentioning the fact that Letterman has his own BASTARD child?
NBC News, the Obama Channel, goes out of its way to bag on Palin for saying this in response?
Come on. Letterman was way out of line and Sarah Palin’s response was appropriate.
But, NBC News goes out of its way to portray Palin as a POL who cannot take the heat in the political kitchen. By the way, did I mention that NBC did NOT mention the Letterman parodies of Sarah Palin’s daughters?
NBC News, like David Letterman are both pretty “PATHETIC.”

I am contacting many people today, with a request to boycott Letterman’s sponsors. He i not funny but indeed mean spirited. He should reflect on his own life and his child. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Oh come on people. David Letterman has said far harsher things about far more important people than “also ran” political/celebrities. If you don’t want to hear anything negative about your favourite public figure, don’t watch late night television. Also, get your right-wing head out of your butt. Where’s the glass house, people? Mr. Letterman had a child with his long term partner, both being decades beyond the age of concent. This is a far stretch from two teenagers getting it on and suffering the consequences. If only David had bought into the man-made need for one of “God’s representatives on earth” and the government to sanction his relationship before making the mature, adult decision with his common-law WIFE to have a child. Glass house, indeed!

Hey Reg,
Common law implies that one calls one’s girlfriend his “wife” – in public. Never heard that he ever called her his wife anywhere, let alone on his show over the last 20 years. Do you know something?? Guess Dave must have confided in you about his “adult decision” to have a chld. NOT!!
Wonder how much arm twisting his mother might have done to get him to fianlly make the mother of his child his wife???
Your apparent outlook on marriage contributes to the moral decay in this country!

I’m a 46 year old father of five (4 Girls and one Boy ages 8-15).
I’ve watched Dave for many, many years. I thought the Palin jokes were disgusting, I tried very hard to pass it off as “just a joke” but I’m sorry some things just aren’t funny.
Dave you are such an asshole that I can’t even stand looking at you. You are a rude son-of-a-bitch that just appears to be losing your mind!!! Your not funny, your “apology” was bull-shit, and you don’t even have the balls to apologize.
You make me sick, you suck, your ratings suck, your sponsors suck, and I will not support you, anything you do, or anything your sponsors do.
Have a rotten day you sick bastard pig!

Letterman goes too far. Leave the kids alone no matter what party they are. Before you married your own son was labeled a b——. Just remember joke or not those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.I hope your mother and wife are so proud of you berating kids. Shame on you.

David Letterman is such a POOR excuse for a man, not to mention a father, husband or decent human being.
Someday he will have to answer for his actions. And his family must be SO proud of him…………..
Gov. Sarah Palin has my utmost respect and my prayers go out to her and her family.
As for NBC, you won’t be viewed in my home again!

I have been a fan of Letterman for many years and have observed his transition into an angry man unable to control his liberal agenda.There is no excuse for that malicious joke regarding Sara Palins daughter,these jokes are scripted. I will boycott all Letterman sponsors and recommerd my friends do the same. Don’t expect me to tune into NBC any time soon.

I can’t believe Letterman would do something like this. This is absolutely horrible! Palin doesn’t deserve this and neither does her daughter.
