Yannow, no one cared about Letterman comparing Sarah Palin to a "slutty flight attendant". I don't even think flight attendants bitched about it. And speaking if flight attendants, I've never met a slutty one. Flight attendants have gotten a lot older over the years. Maybe he should have said "cougar flight attendant". Anyhow, that's not the joke that got him into trouble.
I've never pictured Palin as a "slutty flight attendant". I've always thought that she looked more like a naughty librarian (or a hot teacher) with the glasses and the hair up. And that's how I would have told the joke about her picking out cosmetics. She was looking for the naughty librarian look. It would have been a lot funnier and a lot less mean, but I guess when you dislike someone, your jokes have to be nastier.
I see now that he has apologized for the "knocked up" joke. And unlike all the groveling that Imus had to go through for his tasteless joke, Sarah just let Letterman off the hook by accepting his latest "apology". CBS ain't gonna fire him for calling her a slut or joking about her daughter getting knocked up. This will all blow over unlike what happened to Imus. Remember, in this country race trumps sex.
Just ask Thunder Rodent Thighs.

Hey, the gapped tooth prick said Rodriguez knocked up Palins daughter in the seventh inning. Why take a chance with a cousin? My neighbor now hates the bastard too. I guess I'm just not as generous to excuse when an east coast liberal plays the race card too as the Sarahcuda.
Posted by: Fukitol on June 16, 2009 01:36 PMTwo things: First, Why haven't we heard from ARod about this whole thing? Could it be because he might want to agree with Letterman? Or could it be that the Steinbrenner clan that owns the Yankees have told him to keep his mouth shut? We may never know.
Second, It is very apparent that Letterman isn't going to be fired as Imus was (but really should be). But we can always boycott the Letterman show (as my wife and I have done for years because we think he is about as funny as a heart attack) as well as anything CBS airs, driving their ratings and market shares down.

Posted by: snafu on June 16, 2009 02:27 PMLetterman hasn't been funny in years. Since he quit wearing jeans on his show. I guess this is the only way for him to get attention.
Rich--Now THAT was funny! Love his facial expressions!
Posted by: phthaloblu on June 16, 2009 05:21 PMDenny, I'd bet that most flight attendants are conservatives, whereas most librarians and too many teachers are liberals. he was concerned that he might insult the democrap base.

It's true, some Librarians I know ARE screaming, pink-o, libtards. But many of us are pretty conservative. In fact, every time one of our radical, ex-hippie "professors" orders a book for the Library by Michael "Gimme" Moore, Al Frankenstein or Obambi, I counter by ordering books by Hannity, Levin, Coulter, etc. At least MY Library will be "fair and balanced."
I'm thinking of changing my name to "Jane Austen - also known as the Original Naughty Librarian" because I'm hot enough to carry it off.

It's not race that trumps sex, it's PARTY.
Flight attendant? You mean stewardess, right?
:)
Jane Austen the original naughty librarian....
What is your policy or mode of punishment for returning books late ......do the penaltie`s increase with the duration for the overdue time frame? Many of us are breathless with anticipation for the answer.BWAHAHAHAHA!
