Letterman's ratings are through the roof.

Next time he should spout a more offensive joke, and then apologize after. His ratings should then triple what they are currently.

Did he plan for all this to happen?

I don't think he's that smart.

All well and good, Rue. But I still await your response. I answered your questions to the best of my ability and wait for you to do the same.

And by the way, I don't see how taking your daughter to a baseball game equates to parading her around for political reasons - talking Willow here, not Bristol. Obama shows off his kids from time to time. Does that make THEM fair game? No! See? I'm defending both sides there.

And speaking of Bristol. Yes, I admitted I thought the joke was funny when I thought Bristol was at the game for the same reasons Kwicko mentioned and I admitted that at the very beginning of the thread, fer cryin' out loud. But when it turns out the daughter was the 14 year old at the game, NOT Bristol, the context of the joke changes entirely. I don't understand why you guys don't see that, but I'm not going to harp on about it either. Bottom line is that Letterman felt he needed to apologize again. Whether that's due to pressure from the Right or what (which I highly doubt - heck even his mom said she was siding with Palin) is beside the point. The explanation he gave during the second apology is what I'm going by. Have you heard or, better yet, seen either apology?

Yes . . . for cryin' out loud again, I'm partisan, Rue. You'll just have to live with that. I get the feeling your not really reading through my posts and just cherry-picking stuff to gripe about. I'm partisan, your partisan, that's what makes the world go 'round. "It's circular, like a merry-go-round. It goes round and round, the horses go up and down." (Rough Happy Gilmore quote there in case you missed it.

Quote:
"I used the word "we" there for a reason."

And then wrote exclusively about Bristol. So, if I am to take the context of Letterman's joke into account - shouldn't I take yours as well ? Oh wait, that's only fair when YOU want to hang someone. Right ?

I singled out Bristol and Dave because they were kinda the subject of the thread. I then admitted to making mistakes myself. But you prolly skipped right over that.

To rant about me being partisan is completely one sided on your part. I recall you AND Signym stating unequivocally that any sites or references to conservative links should be dismissed out of hand as being filled with lies. Huh. Way to keep an open mind for one who is jumping all over me for supposedly not keeping an open mind.

So like I said. I played my part in your game. If you don't wanna play, just say so. Any comment on those shirts?

Sheesh. All that talkin' for nothing, 'cause you won't read it all anyway.

Here's a good joke? I hope David Letterman gets penile cancer and his slut wife has to raise their bastard child alone and that she gets impregnated by Alex Rodriguez.

Edit: I would like to apologize for you misunderstanding my joke. You see, when I referred to Letterman's "slut wife being impregnated by Alex Rodriguez", I, uh, meant his, um...other slut wife...who is of course over the age of 18, which makes it right to joke about her. Sorry you misunderstood my joke.

Sorry Sky, but the "cancer" thing is a bit out of bounds, dontcha think? Letterman is not a bad guy, in fact many Conservatives have described him as being quite pleasant and cordial to them. What do people what from him, blood? It's ridiculous already. Please retract your cancer wish on him. Millions love him, that's a fact.

After all, he's advocating rape of young girls, and in your mind, even if he were talking about 18-year-olds, it would be just as disgusting, right?

And clearly he's saying he likes fucking underage girls, so I'll be waiting for you and all your right-wing buddies to vilify him. Heck, you should probably call for him to be fired. WhoZit, I'm sure, will want Jongsy killed, just like he wanted Letterman dead.

Surely you'll want to put politics aside and tell me "good job!" for pointing out this kind of disgusting "humor" to you so you can denounce it, yes?

I'll wait. I won't hold my breath though.

Meanwhile, more than a day later, I'm still eagerly awaiting the right-wingers' vociferous denunciation of Jongstraw's hate speech and utterly tasteless jokes about raping underage girls.

C'mon, Finn - how can anyone here ever believe anything you say when you clearly exercise such a set of double standards?

I guess we can't. Not that I've ever put much credence in your words in the first place, but I think we can all plainly see which side your partisan bread is buttered on...

Kwicko,
You didn't catch that Jongstraw was personalizing the joke in order to get a different response from you?

Why can't you see that Jong said what he/she said to try to personalize the issue for you. You were pretty cavalier about dismissing Letterman's joke about a 14 year old girl. Perhaps If you could somehow put yourself in the Palin's shoes. You know, what if someone joked about getting 'your' 14 year old daughter knocked up. If that dosen't make your blood boil, it's definently a good thing you decided against kids. Besides, according to some, Letterman has a far larger audience than Jongstraw so that makes what Letterman said far worse.

Why would your blood boil if it was your daughter's choice? If someone were to make a joke about your daughter choosing to become pregnant at a young age, why would it cause outrage?

Unless it were a SORE spot with you, and you had no control over your feelings in the matter.
Actual outrage concerning such trivial stuff is BS.
The popular thing in my Jr. High to cause outrage & start a fight was the old "I F*****d yer Mom last night" routine. How kids could get SO pissed by something so patently and obviously untrue was beyond me. "No ya didn't, but if it's a fight you're looking for, make a move" worked fine for me, & frustrated the idiots.

"Definently." And, ya know, it DOESN'T make my blood boil, because IT'S A FUCKING JOKE, and it's purely a hypothetical. I don't have that empathy. I never had kids, so I *CAN'T* imagine what I'd feel like if someone said that about my kids. You may as well say, "What if someone said that about YOUR Easter Bunny or YOUR Santa Claus or YOUR God!" IT HAS NO MEANING TO ME.

Quote:

Ahhh - so we're back to equivocation, are we? It's not so much WHAT was said, as WHO said it. Okay, since it's all about audience size, let's try this one on:

Where was your outrage at Rush Limbaugh when he viciously tore into Chelsea Clinton? He has a large-ish audience, right? (I'm speaking numbers here, not just weight) She was a 13-year-old girl when he joked about "the White House dog" and showed a picture of her on his TV show.

Where was your outrage then? Any of you?

As I've pointed out, it's not that the joke was about a young girl. Rush and McCain have proven that, with their own cheap shots at Chelsea over the years. And it's not that the joke was about "rape", as McCain again has proven with his own hilarious rape jokes. It's not WHAT was said, or WHO it was said ABOUT, but rather WHO said it.

If you keep repeating that mantra do you think it will somehow come true?

Why can't you see that Jong said what he/she said to try to personalize the issue for you. You were pretty cavalier about dismissing Letterman's joke about a 14 year old girl. Perhaps If you could somehow put yourself in the Palin's shoes. You know, what if someone joked about getting 'your' 14 year old daughter knocked up. If that dosen't make your blood boil, it's definently a good thing you decided against kids. Besides, according to some, Letterman has a far larger audience than Jongstraw so that makes what Letterman said far worse.

So in your books, anyone can spew any hateful thing they want so long as they add that it's only a joke.

BDN, You took apart his pathetic position, and exposed Kwikkko The Clown's one-sided approach to everything. He thinks it's a funny joke if it's about Palin. Turn the "joke" in his direction with his women and all of a sudden it 'aint so fucking funny anymore. Good job!

And Kwikko, I expect by now your Bat-Signal alerting you that a Conservative has posted something has you rushing to the keyboard to respond, something akin to a dung-ball fly protecting his turf. You like to call a lot of other posters here stupid. That must make you feel superior. I suppose you need to feel that way to distract you from the realities of your own miserable existence.

#1, it was an Army Of Darkness reference, not Popeye.

#2, I've read it all and I can't see where Mikey had the emotional reaction that you seemed to indicate.

Therefore...

you have no case.

After all, he's advocating rape of young girls, and in your mind, even if he were talking about 18-year-olds, it would be just as disgusting, right?

And clearly he's saying he likes fucking underage girls, so I'll be waiting for you and all your right-wing buddies to vilify him. Heck, you should probably call for him to be fired. WhoZit, I'm sure, will want Jongsy killed, just like he wanted Letterman dead.

Surely you'll want to put politics aside and tell me "good job!" for pointing out this kind of disgusting "humor" to you so you can denounce it, yes?

I'll wait. I won't hold my breath though.

Meanwhile, more than a day later, I'm still eagerly awaiting the right-wingers' vociferous denunciation of Jongstraw's hate speech and utterly tasteless jokes about raping underage girls.

C'mon, Finn - how can anyone here ever believe anything you say when you clearly exercise such a set of double standards?"

Well, to be honest, one big reason it ain't funny when you turn it on me is that it doesn't make any sense, me not having kids and all...

Still, I have to wonder where the outrage is when YOU specifically refer to raping 14-year-old girls as "good sport". Where's all the phony outrage from your neo-con brethren?

Oh... right. When YOU do it, it's a harmless joke, right? When someone ELSE does it, about a NEO-CON, no less, then it's really serious.

Wow, you ARE an idiot, aren't you? Did you jump off a bridge? BigKnobBuddy really wants to know!

I posted that to show Finn's (and others') utter hypocrisy, and it worked - he hasn't been anywhere near this thread all week. All of those who were so puffed up with outrage at Letterman, I challenged them to call you on your exact same (and even worse, really) vile and vicious remarks, and nobody did. Which rather proved my point quite neatly, that you are all pissed not at WHAT was said, but rather at WHO said it. When it's others saying the same and worse, you have no reaction, no phony outrage, no righteous indignation, no threats of death or boycott... nothing at all.

So Letterman makes a tasteless joke aimed at an 18-year-old unwed mother who was "knocked up" at 17, and the world explodes. YOU make jokes about raping 14-year-old little girls, and you call it "good sport", and your band of neo-con nobodies has absolutely nothing to say about it. Curious, as Spock would say.

I'm also oblique.

Kwick was pointing out & underlining the idiocy of taking this whole very-not important event far too seriously. And I'm not teetering, I say the joke (as intended, mind you) was sort of amusing in a tasteless way.

Tough for you to admit that you stepped in go se, and all you've done since is spread it all over yourself. Lots of folks here are a lot smarter than you think, and can see right through your tiresome and predictably childish antics. Go piss up a rope, and if you cannot do that, keep trying.
