06.11.09 SARAH AND TODD PALIN ARE F’N MORONS

David Letterman took time out from his show last night to clarify some jokes he made about Sarah Palin and her 18-year-old daughter Bristol — you know, the one who’s championing abstinence now that she’s given birth to a child out of wedlock.  Well, the Palins naturally assumed that jokes Eliot Spitzer and Alex Rodriguez going after their sexually irresponsible legal-adult daughter were actually jokes about raping their 14-year-old daughter Willow, because, uhhh… that makes sense?

Todd: “Any jokes about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it, and I believe the rest of the world knows it too.” [...]

Next came Palin’s long-winded reaction: “Laughter incited by such perverse comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/New York entertainers have a long way in understanding what the rest of America understands that acceptance of any appropriate sexual comments about an underage girl [...] contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.” [LIVE]

Letterman addressed it pretty graciously, making it clear that his jokes, while not in good taste, were absolutely not about their underage daughter, and even offered an invitation for Palin to come on the show.  Palin’s response:

“The Palins have no intention of providing a rating’s boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show,” the Alaska governor’s rep said in a statement to FOXNews.com. “Plus, it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman.”

Listen, this isn’t about politics.  I’m not picking on Sarah Palin because she’s from Alaska or because she’s Republican or because she’s a woman.  I’m picking on her because she’s a f-cking idiot.  I mean, seriously: Jesus Christ, lady.  Even Paris Hilton is too intelligent to respond to late-night monologue jokes.  And at least she’s done us the favor of not reproducing.

If she’s upset by that “perverse humor,” let’s hope she never reads this blog.

(Does this count as a periodical?)

Maybe the Palins thought that Letterman was referring to Willow because she is the daughter that attended the Yankee game with Sarah? Guessing that Letterman made the joke with the premise that A Rod would knock up the Palin daughter that ACTUALLY ATTENDED THE GAME.
Either way, Letterman was funny about 15 years ago but now is an unfunny and bitter.

The only thing more idiotic than the Palins taking this seriously is the amount of people asking for David Letterman to be fired over a joke.

Who exactly is asking for Letterman to be fired?

Tonight Show execs.

Can Jay Leno be fired for this? As long as nobody’s making sense, I’m looking for a silver lining.

So, is that typo from (a) dumbass Sarah Palin, (b) dumbass Sarah Palin’s dumbass representative, or (c) the dumbasses at FOXNews.com?

Wait, is she saying Letterman is Jewish?

Here’s a poll over should he get fired. It’s currently at 93% yes. Then again, it’s Free Republic.

The palins thought Letterman was talking about Willow because he was talking about Willow. The jokes referred to the daughter who was at the baseball game, which was Willow while Bristol was not even in the city. I’m sure Letterman really wanted to joke about Bristol, but it turns out he is a f-cking idiot who doesn’t pay attention to the news he is using as his setup of his jokes. Which fits, because he also doesn’t pay attention to the joke part of the jokes anymore either.

It’s okay if drunk Alaskan kids rape your daughter though.

No, no — he mentioned Sarah Palin.

I think this is all Fox News’ fault.

WhyDoYouAsk says:

Ok, so I took the jokes as “Spitzer pays for sex” and “A-Rod will fuck anything that moves”.

But by all means, Sarah, make this about your kids. You haven’t exploited them nearly enough lately. Hey, maybe your constant media-whoring (as opposed to “parenting”) is what leads to your kids making bad choices…? Nah, you’re right. It’s Letterman’s fault.

One more thing…anyone wanting Letterman fired over this SURELY asked for Limbaugh’s head when he referred to Chelsea as “the White House dog”, right? I mean, you guys aren’t hypocrites or anything, right?

Bacon Rules says:

I don’t give two shits about his politics, it just bums me out that Letterman sucks so much now, yet used to be fucking hysterical pre-CBS. Even worse, Matt Groening has taken The Simpsons down that same road. Both used to be brilliant, yet are now unwatchable.

See, if Willow didn’t want Letterman to make fun of her she shouldn’t have had a sister who got knocked up. Dumb slut…’s sister.

Jessica Dwyer says:

Because Sarah and Todd are such wonderful parents who have kept their underage daughter (she was at the time) so in line and safe. Cause Mother of the Year is what she is don’cha know?

You use your baby like it was a purse or a piece of jewelry, for photo ops. You drag your kids all over the country and put them in the eye of the media ALL THE TIME.

But please! Get bent out of shape now when your NOW 18 year old daughter is targeted by comics, because her life (and yours) wasn’t a joke already.

“Even Paris Hilton is too intelligent to respond to late-night monologue jokes. And at least she’s done us the favor of not reproducing.”
I think it’s a Republican thing. Joe Scarborough continues to respond to Jon Stewart’s skewering of the “Morning Joe presented by Starbucks” thing, and Stewart always gets the better of Joe.
As for those who think Letterman was talking about the 14yo, give me a break. The jokes were about a Palin daughter getting knocked up — like a Palin daughter got knocked up last year — of course they were about that daughter. The thing is, with jokes, they don’t have to be 100% accurate (e.g., different daughter than attended the Yankee game). It’s called humor — try it some time.

“Cause Mother of the Year is what she is don’cha know? ”

Palin named her kids Bristol, Track, Trig, Willow and something equally moronic. She’s like Patient Zero for the movie “Idiocracy.”

But that was at the request of their Uncle, Madmartigan.

Uh, hello? Anyone?
No?
I’ll show myself to the door….
