Don Imus' statement was racist. Letterman's joke was stupid but only a nut would infer it was the little Palin girl in lieu of the baby momma older Palin girl. Sarah Palin is a nut and I'm disappointed that Dave apologized to that hypocritical hillbilly. And FYI racism is far worse a crime than joking about a teenage baby momma!

Wait a minute - - let's get this one straight; Don Imus was forced to resign because of his RACIST remarks . . . . . not sexist ones. Even though some of his remarks were construed to be sexist, that was not the match that set fire to his quickly-vanishing job.

Are you kidding me? Boy you have an awful lot of time on your hands!! Seriously, you want an apology and you want him fired?? You're making a huge something out of nothing. It was joke, albeit in poor taste, but nevertheless a stupid joke from a late night comedian. Who cares?!?!?! Get over it and move on!
We're dealing with huge economic issues and rising unemployment, we're fighting two wars overseas and face a nuclear threat from N. Korea and Iran. It's absolutely unbelievable that this topic constitutes a top story on CNN, FoxNews and MSNBC. Where are your priorities????

This Letterman episode is the spark in me that says enough is enough. I am not fooled by his spineless version of an apology. He's lowlife in my opinion.
If it's his job to tell jokes, there is plenty of other fodder to use, and be funny with. He's crossed the line, and is now, a decrepit old man with incredible bad taste. Take his show off the air. As far as his remark about slutty lipstick - I think he is a closet porn addict. He has no basis for making such a lowlife comment and cloaking it by saying "it was a joke". His skill level of a comedian is so bad, he can't come up with material which is relevant, and
in good humor. Meanwhile, he is so entrenched in his negative political views he fails to be effective as a comedian.

Ronnieboy, Imus was forced to resign due to his racist "nappy-heads" remarks, not being sexist.

Letterman/Leno/O'Brien/Fallon, etc. are all comedians for a late night audience, that's why the show doesn't even start until 11:30 pm. a joke is a joke...

I agree. Just think if he would have "joked" about another politician (the first lady? her daughters?) as being "nappy-headed-hos" -- rather than Palin as being "slutty" and her daughter being knocked up. He'd be fired by now.

Ronnieboy get your facts straight, Imus's little snafu was a racial joke not sexist. Were all free game since this is a free country.

The difference is that David Letterman is a comedian. It is his job to tell jokes.

I Agree!! Letterman should be fired immediately. My love of his show has been fading with his political attacks. I watched his so-called apology last night then turned him off once and for all. He has gone too far !
