06.17.09 LETTERMAN WILL MOUTH-RAPE YOUR CHILDREN

I’ve done my best to avoid reporting on every new detail in the David Letterman-Sarah Palin fiasco (part 1, part 2), but this video from New York Mag on the protesters outside CBS’s “Late Show” studio is jaw-droppingly terrifying.  When you wonder to yourself, “Just who the heck is watching Jay Leno anyway?” think back on this clip, then go invest in bottled water and ammunition.  Some of the key quotes in the video:

  • “Everyone in the country is very, very frustrated and upset that he was allowed to make a rape joke about a 14-year-old girl sitting on the sidelines at an American basketball game.”
  • “At least Jay Leno had interesting people; this schmuck has nobody! You know what ’schmuck’ means in Jewish?”
  • “Is someone making jokes about his child?  Especially when, you know, he had a daughter out of wedlock himself.”
  • “How dare he?  When he has a bastard son, and a slut for a wife.”
  • “Close the borders!  Close everything down for twenty years, clean your house, and you’ll see how this economy will come back.”
  • “Keep children safe from David Letterman’s mouth!  He will rape them with his mouth!  He is a child abuser!  He is a verbal pedophile!  Wake up!  Go home and take care of your kids, they could be next.”

Okay, in order: Letterman never joked about rape, the joke was aimed at 18-year-old Bristol, it was a baseball game, the language is Yiddish not Jewish, Letterman has a son out of wedlock, I suppose it’s possible his wife is a slut although I don’t know for sure, America’s periods of isolationism have historically led to wars the country was ill-prepared for, and mouth-rape is somewhat less of a threat to your children than teaching them ironclad certitude at protests against late-night television shows.

(Granted, this is probably the highlights of the crazy, and it’s possible that there were thoughtful and well-spoken people at the rally, but c’mon people.  Letterman caved and apologized, and Palin even accepted the apology.  If the mother of the alleged mouth-rape victim can let it go, maybe you should, too.)

UPDATE: Photos and and commentary from the Village Voice; Letterman’s Top Ten List: things overheard at the “Fire Dave” rally.

At least Leno never made a joke about Sarah Palin’s kid. Except the time he did. At least Dave was funny.

I think that’s the Palin Family Motto.

“Go home and take care of your kids, they could be next.”

Yeah, if you don’t watch your kids closely, they could get knocked up at age 17 from a salt-of-the-earth retard named “Levi.”

Thank God that Sarah Palin is here to lead by her example.

Johnny D says:

If Jay Leno were funny and original, he could have filmed a year’s worth of “Jaywalking” bits at this rally.

June 17th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Otto Man says:

Hard to believe, but Fox News has a four-hour Viagra boner over this, uh, controversy?

No, that’s not the right word. Mind-numbing stupidity? Yeah, that’s it.

“Verbal pedophile” appears on my CV at least twice.

fROMOHIO says:

Leno is a douche that took the Tonight Show away from Letterman. Garry Shandling was a much better guest host for Johnny than Leno. Conan should be taking over from Dave now instead of Jay.

Does anyone remember when conservatives weren’t a bunch of pants-pissing crybabies?

Yah, me neither. Let the tears flow, Glen Beck. Let it out.

Poor Letterman, he hasn’t been funny since 1987 (Leno’s never been funny).

As a liberal, I’m just glad its not our loonies that have a monopoly on victimhood anymore.

Brian says:

I guess we should be glad that, for once, a right-wing protest didn’t lead to someone getting shot. So far, at least.

cleveland says:

Letterman married his son’s mother a couple of months back, so he’s no longer a non-marital child. Just another correction.

Is this Fox News fault again?

Otto Man says:

Did you watch the link I posted? All those breathless segments about this stupid fucking non-story came from about seven or eight hours of programming on Tuesday morning.

The Jerry Lewis Telethon doesn’t have that kind of laser-like focus on a single issue.

I have been making jokes about his bastard son. Send them over to my house.

Marmalard's Revenge says:

“Is this Fox News fault again?”

Sure. They’re the industry leaders in mouth rape.

The best part is Richard and Sal making out at the end. It’s also by far the least disturbing. What’s Jewish for “People with uninformed opinions with not much at all to do?”

June 17th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
BuddyRepperton says:

“Did you watch the link I posted?”

No.

I haven’t watched anything from Fox News in, it must be at least six or seven years. If you don’t like what they have to say I’d suggest you do the same. If David Letterman, or anyone else for that matter doesn’t like people saying all kinds of bad things about them, maybe they should stop saying bad things about peoples kids. The current president has two daughters, why not make fun of them?

J.L White says:

I’m sorry for the late comment, but I was just let out of jail, after punching 7 random people. The court-ordered psychiatrist tells me that everything I hear is interpreted as a joke about raping a 14-year-old girl. I’d believe him, but then he made a totally inappropriate joke about raping a 14-year-old girl, so I punched him.

I hereby announce my candidacy for the President of the United States in 2012.

June 17th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Marmalard's Revenge says:

“The current president has two daughters, why not make fun of them?”

Uh…..Because unlike Palin’s daughter, neither of them got pregnant?

Are you sure you don’t watch Fox News? Because you seem retarded enough to be a faithful viewer.

June 17th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
Marmalard's Revenge says:

Also, i like the way Buddy thinks:

“I haven’t watched anything from Fox News in, it must be at least six or seven years. If you don’t like what they have to say I’d suggest you do the same. If David Letterman, or anyone else for that matter doesn’t like people saying all kinds of bad things about them, maybe they should stop saying bad things about peoples kids.”

So….

If people don’t like Fox News, they shouldn’t listen to Fox News.

If people don’t like David Letterman, he should watch what he fucking says!

Gosh, you’re smart Buddy.

BuddyRepperton says:

You seem grumpy marmalard did you get grape juice on your Che Guevara shirt when the lid came off your sippy cup? Don’t worry you can get a new one at Werx! at the mall.
They’re next to the Misfits shirts with the big white skull face on them in the corner.

June 17th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
Marmalard's Revenge says:

Wow, what a great comeback.

I’m actually 42 years old, Buddy, so I don’t know half of what you’re talking about there.

42 should be easy for you to remember. Take your IQ and add 12.

Ben says:

I love how at the end with the mouthraping woman that Richard Christie and Sal the Stockbroker from Howard Stern are totally fake making out with each other. Take a look again and see! Also, some people are just plain retarded.
