Hotplant Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 The more we get upset about it the more we have Dave on the brain. Hey, her daughter DID get knocked up folks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 According the the posted article the 14 year old was the only Palin daughter in attendance. She does have another daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Bill Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 She does have another daughter. Did you read the article? The other daughter wasn't there to get "knocked up in the 7th inning" only the 14 year old was. The joke makes no sense if about the daughter who wasn't even there.

Reggie1971 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Didn't Letterman knock-up his girlfriend? I guess in his estimation that makes her fair games for slut jokes. I'm sure he would find great humor in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 If you're too myopic to get the joke, or worse refuse to see what he's actually criticizing, then take a look in the mirror as to who's skirting the issue. My line of acceptability is drawn quite clearly with regards to public satire and ridicule directed towards the children of elected officials and David Letterman has crossed it.

I'm sure he would find great humor in them Actually he makes jokes about her all the time. They just barely got married, and he makes jokes about him "signing his life away." The slutty joke was about her (Palin) gawd awful make-up wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Stick around and you'll see her eternal light is on but there is no one home. Excuse me, but I made a valid point. David Letterman made a joke in poor taste. Please try not to descend to his level. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal light Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 How would she get knocked up then? If she were there. It was meant as a joke. It has proven to be a joke made in poor taste. Like Jonesy parking the car. Just plain stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I respect that, but how is this different from what Swift wrote? It can only be offensive if taken literally, and surely Swift was no less grotesque?

Uncle Bill Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 If she were there. How do you make this jump? What makes you think he was talking about the one who wasn't there over the one who was? Because he says so, after the fact, when the heat is on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 David Letterman made a joke in poor taste. Please try not to descend to his level. I did not specifically refer to you by name and may have been referring to someone who isn't even here. Does this logic sound familiar? It should, it is yours. Checkmate.

Uncle Bill Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Because he did not refer specifically to the one daughter in particular by name. So it's just as likely he was talking about either one? Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 So it's just as likely he was talking about either one? Right? That would be an option. It would not meet the legal standard for defamation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can only be offensive if taken literally, and surely Swift was no less grotesque? Frankly, I have no idea what "Swift" wrote and I don't watch television either. I will say this, Letterman spoke inappropriately...taken literally or figuratively, in jest or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Bill Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 That would be an option. It would not meet the legal standard for defamation. So, even by your estimation there's at least a 50/50 chance he was referring to the 14year old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie29 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 All this talk about being too old and someone intimating violence toward Letterman is stupid and pointless. The "joke" was in very poor taste and ill-conceived at best. Does it really matter which daughter it was aimed at? So what if Todd Palin is a native American does that make it any better or worse? From what I've witnessed over the last couple of years, Sarah Palin is no shrinking violet and doesn't mind a headline. Too much credit is going to this Roidriguez bloke IMO, the last I heard with all the juice he has taken he'd be lucky to knock up anything or anyone. Yanks have trouble with irony. Get over it.
