David Letterman Pisses Off Sarah Palin
Filed under: David Letterman > Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin isn't a fan of David Letterman's humor, now is she?
To celebrate Palin's recent visit to New York, Letterman took the opportunity to take a few jabs at Sarah and her family on Tuesday night's Late Show!
During the funnyman's opening monologue, he poked fun at the former VP-nom's 14-year-old daughter, saying: "The toughest part of [Palin's] visit was keeping Eliot Spitzer away from her daughter."
Ha!
Both Sarah and her husband Todd have released statements shaming Letterman and his 'poor taste' in humor, of course.
From Papa Palin: "Any 'jokes' about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too."
And from Miz Palin herself? Get ready for a mouthful.
"Concerning Letterman's comments about my young daughter (and I doubt he'd ever dare make such comments about anyone else's daughter): Laughter incited by sexually-perverted 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/NY entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands – that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone's daughter, contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others."
Lighten up, guys!

Re: Dr_Steve_Brule –
she makes alaska rape victims pay for their own rape kits? my god, i had never heard that. what a horrific bitch. she's even worse than i previously thought.
It takes a little man (Mario or David Letterman) to drag a minor through the mud of the adult world. As they defecate, may they know that they are the same.
You wouldnt be so easy on Letterman if you had kids of your own, oh yeah I forgot- you cant have kids and arent mature enough to adopt them.
I LOVE LETTERMAN!!
Hmmm funny how women in Alaska have to PAY for the police to help find and convict MEN WHO RAPED THEM.
Is that funny to Sarah Palin?
Because clearly she isn't doing SHIT about it.
And like she said, it could be anyone. Even her daughters getting raped.
God I hate this sexist scum bag whore. She needs to fucking get a life.
Hate Sarah Palin all you want, but the vitriol directed at her 14-year-old daughter in some of these posts is beyond sick. What is wrong with you people?
She should def shut-up and relax. Is age really an issue for them? Didn't their underage daughter get raw-dogged right under Their noses? Anyway, Wasn't that joke way more hurtful for the Spitzer family?
Re: mesablanca –
Obviously you don't understand, one of her daughters almost WAS a statutory rape victim (on purpose) and DID get pregnant.
That's where the joke comes from you fucking retard.
Send the stupid fucken bitch back up to Alaska.
Hope you're listening fatboy. You've been calling teens sluts and whores for years.
Re: shelbz115 – Ummmm…Our new president "parades his whole family around", too. So Sasha and Malia should be "targets" of inappropriate jokes too, right? I bet THAT would called "hateful". Hmmmm????
put a cock in it sarah.
Re: jellotime91 – Jellotime, you are beyond fucking dumb it's pathetic. Her daughter had sex with a guy her age. Statutory rape involves an adult having sex with a minor you fucktard!!
Re: LusciousLiz –
Shouldn't you be killing a helpless baby somewhere you liberal piece of shit.
I'm sure he was referring to the older daughter….who is the poster child for how well abstinence-only education works. duh.
Re: jellotime91 – AND if you still can figure it out. A 14 YR OLD is a MINOR!
if the guy doesn't like palin….he should talk about PALiN NOT her underage daughter….but leave it to the liberals to talk shit. They can dish it but they sure as hell can't take it.
Re: jarvisbearcub –
Yeah and you liberal fucking idiots kill babies but then fight for murderers to not be killed. STFU!
God please don't put this white trash on your blog.they have to be the most disgusting couple in the country. They are both such such such trash ,they are mean spirited,vulgar,novoue-riche on the gops money (shoping frenzy at neiman marcus) Lettermans joke was funny and it's nothing to do with rape and I'm sure even uneducated scum like her hubby knows that,but it sure sounds like good martyr shit for the gop simpletons when you say rape.lol. I guess when your kids are having sex in their early teens and you are on the record for being a huge advocate of no sex ed because you claim(falsely) that it promotes sex you become fodder for comedians as you should be.
ah but ye shudnt make comments about sum1 that young like 14 yano
Re: Kdel – Is the picture in your avatar of the last abortion Clinic you bombed, You sickos just killed a doctor ,doctor Tiller you really are sick people. A baby is a bay and an abortion is something way ahead.
I can't stand Letterman. He's not funny. I also don't care for Governor Palin as a politician on the national level. My question is would Letterman say something like that about a Democrat's kid? About Nancy Pelosi's family? I think not. He's so transparent, it's pathetic.
Re: jeanmarie – DAve mocks gay people all the time.asshole and he can make any joke he wants to ,his joke was nothing about rape.
you say to "lighten up"…..but if he made an offensive joke about gays—you'd have a heart attack and think it was the worst thing ever said. so hypocritical and unfair. there's some things you don't joke about–such as someones underage 13-14 yr old daughter, even YOU should know that.
Re: Puffin –
Ewww good come back. What are you 12?! Liberals are afraid of her and that is why they won't let up. The liberal media is making sure people have negative thoughts about her because they are afraid of her popularity and when Obama gets finished fucking this country up maybe Sarah will be able to fix some of his damage.
The fact that this "crazy lady" even chose to respond despite her family's history confirms just how unstable and invalid her views on the world may be (translation: "This bitch is fucking nuts!).
Really? _She_ has anything to say about teenage girls being the object of lust? Her teenage daughter had a baby while still in high school, and Palin still promotes abstinence only education. Why is anyone listening to anything that comes out of this woman's mouth at all? Especially regarding anything that has to do with sex at all?!
Re: hellojessi – The Palins are subhuman trash and they would be the worst thing to happen to this country in it's history. Making fun of this intolerant trash is tolerated by me. fair is fair.
Re: Smirks – jWhen you are the party of hate that advocates many hateful and immoral positions under the guise of morality you set yourself up for this shit. She paraded her daughter as proof of her abstince works programs. Then when it was discovered that her white trash whore drugged out daughter was pregnant she spun it into her anti-abortion platform and of course they are getting married, Well the truth is they are not getting married and for this cnt to be such a hateful mean-spirited neo nazi its ok to poke fun at her and no rape was implied here,in fact it was more about Eliot spitzer and a little jab at her no sex stance with girls obiously having sex.
Re: hellojessi – The Palins are subhuman trash and they would be the worst thing to happen to this country in it's history. Making fun of this intolerant trash is tolerated by me. fair is fair.Re: alifol –
Shouldn't they be concerned that people are mistaking their FOURTEEN year old daughter for an 18 year old? And Letterman NEVER said rape. The joke was something like Alex Rodriguez getting her daughter pregnant during the 7th inning. That's because he thought se was the 18 year old! They are saying rape now because she's only 14 and, technically, sex with an underaged person is statutory rape. Again, if thier FOURTEEN year old looked her age, he never would have made the joke.
Re: Kdel – ahhh man I wish I was 12, but actually I'm 31, but do you feel better about yourself now that you have insulted me even though I wasn't insulting you? LOL…why would anyone be afraid of an ignorant moron who couldn't even construct a sentence, claims she can see Russia from her house, can't even control her own family, has no dignity or integrity and her own party abandoned her like she was a diseased dog because she kept opening her dumb mouth and embarrassing every conservative out there. please tell me what there is to be afraid of…since it really wasn't her "popularity" ’cause if it was she would be VP now…not shunned by her own party.
LIGHTEN UP GUYS?????? — How dare you! IF it were reversed, you would be calling the person a pervert! Why don't you call David Letterman out????
Why is his commentary tolerated! It's despicable, and so are you for enabling him and the likes of him around town .
You are on thin ice Perez! You are a flip - flopper!
and you should be protecting underage children and come out AGAINST HIS comments - even though he thinks they are funny
That is why you are weak! and I am not reading you anymore!
He wasn't saying anything bad about her daughter. It was a disparaging remark about Eliot Spitzer. Palin and her husband are fucking retarded. They'll do anything to keep themselves in the public eye!
Letterman makes his career from telling jokes and Palin is taking this way too seriously. When she makes statements about it, she just brings more attention to his comments. I guess she is too dumb to figure that one out.
If this was about Obama's girls you'd be in an uproar. Whether or not you like her, no one should made an sort of crude remark about a 14 year old girl. Shame on you Perez. Get a grip and get over yourself.
They're obviously just releasing statements for the publicity, anytime someone mentions their names they're going to try to stretch the 1 minute of fame into a full 5.
It's not a funny joke… I watched it on youtube. Someone should punch him in the balls.
LOVE YOU DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Myma Jane –
Again…Perez got the story wrong. This was not the comment that the Palins were so upset about. Look it up.
What was he talking about her daughter doesn't look trashy or anything. And I must agree with her.
sarah palin scares the living shit out of you liberals because the more you make stupid humorless jokes about her, the more popular she gets. You want to hear something funny??………by the look of a lot of the posts here, a lot of you idiots think letterman was talking about bristol palin, even though she mentions that it was her younger daughter willow in the body of the press release that perez posted……..read much??….I guess you can only fight through the attention deficit disorder enough to read the first paragraph.
The Palins are so disgustingly gross.
Re: knowitall –
They're horrible people because they are religious? Or because they believe that life in the womb should have the same rights as life outside? I don't agree with everything the Palins stand for but ever since Sarah arranged a private meeting with a woman I know who brought her Down syndrome toddler to a campaign event, and then showed that boy the same love and attention as she would her own children, I have had a lot more respect for her. Calling an entire family "subhuman" and making excuses for a man joking about the statutory rape of a 14 year old girl- who has done nothing to him and probably never will- is a disgrace. One might be more inclined to call your unfeeling, intolerant self "subhuman".
I think this is ridiculous, everyone is still talking about Sarah Palin and she is trying to move on and get out of the spotlight. She was in New York doing charity work, trying to accomplish good things. I just think its very dumb how people have gone so low as to talking about her children?? I mean we don't hear people making fun of the Obama girls (which they shouldn't be!) but its just inappropriate to get the kids involved period, whether you are a democrat or republican.
If she's old enough to get knocked up, she should be mature enough to take a joke. I thought Spitzer was high priced prostitue supporter, not a rapist. Talk about a family of freaks…..Go screw a moose.
Re: bklynhomo –
Theoretically Obama's children could now be "old enough", or at least physically mature enough, to get "knocked up", but would a joke about an athlete getting one of them pregnant be ok? Or at all funny? The answer is no. Politicians' children should not be subject to this crap. And Dave's joke was that WILLOW, not BRISTOL, got knocked up by A-Rod. Bristol is the one with the baby. Bristol is a legal adult. Willow is just 14 years old. This is why her parents are so angry. Not necessarily about Dave saying something about Eliot Spitzer.
This is what happens when we rely on a gossip blogger for our news. A bit of misinformation gets reported and then you have misguided people defending a tasteless joke about the rape of a child (yes, rape. Even if Dave said "a consensual relationship", it was still bad).
Re: bklynhomo –
And by the way, that is the dumbest argument ever. "If she's old enough to get knocked up, she should be old enough to take a joke"?! Do you have children? If you had a daughter and someone said the things Dave about her on national tv, would you say "well dear, your ovaries and uterus are mature enough for you to make a baby, so I don't see why a man in his fifties shouldn't make a joke about you getting impregnated by a baseball star more than twice your age. Deal with it."
Lighten up? You stupid fag. If Letterman had made a joke about gays you'd be all over it saying how terrible it is and how Letterman should die.
I don't even know why I still come to this pathetic excuse for a website.
David Letterman is disgusting. And he continues to lose the late night rating race. No one watches him. I wonder if someone said something about having sex with his child if he would laugh it off. Doubt it. He is a loser. Has always been a loser, and will always been known as a loser. Go knock up some bitch Letterman and stay off the air
people need to friggin lighten up already. All of a sudden, everyone is all high and mighty about a comment. You can't change people, and spending your time being angry with them is a waste of energy Sometimes you suck it up, laugh it off and move on.
I have a joke too. Obama has to keep Sahsa away from Joe Biden because you know he wants to fuck her. Ha ha ha ha. Oh what you are not laughing? Why? Is it because the joke wasn't aimed at a Republican? Hypocrites.
letterman was way off base here…and he knows it. he will probably apologize and he should.
She's soooooo ridiculous. That joke didn't even hint about rape!! If anything, it was a slam on Spitzer, not Palin's daughter.
And I'm pretty sure her state is the one who wanted women to PAY FOR THEIR OWN RAPE KITS….so maybe she should focus less on Letterman and more on her pathetic attempt at being a govenor.
How about David just comment on the fact that she raised one drug addicted, dick sucking slut of a daughter and that she should keep the odds up and give her daughter away. Maybe Levi has a brother who could impregnate her.
Letterman is a sick bastard for making those kinds of comments. Sexual comments about a 14 year old is just wrong.
I read a news article about this…coming from Fox News..not Perez… Is that "“One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game," Letterman said, "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.”"
—Obviously it could have been aimed at Bristol and sadly she didn't turn up. So it backlashed to her other daughter. Give us a break! Letterman would never do that to a 14 yr old girl. Palin is good at making bullshit..after all she's a pitbull with lipstick!
Please, if these comments had been about Obama's daughter, people would have been up in arms. It's only ok if we make fun of republicans and their families!
Perez?? Are you serious??!!! If Letterman were to insult gays, you'd be the number one person to get his underwear all knotted up. Shut up with the "lighten up" comment. Can you lighten up with all the GAY comments made by conservatives then?????????? Alright, then, STFU!
I dont like sarah palin at all but shes right that was kinda harsh humour
I agree with Sarah. I LOVE Dave, but, this is wrong. Not funny. Lots of people listen to him, and some of those people are sick in the head and get excited about that kind of stuff. Dave should apologize.
Ridiculous. This joke was not about the white trash 14-year old. Can you people not read? Or is it a comprehension problem? The joke was about Elliot Spitzer and had nothing to do with rape.
He was clearly talking about her oldest daughter, a single mother, who is paid by a company to go around and talk about remaining celibate.
Letterman should be fired. CBS should fire him immediately Raping 14 yr old children is NOT funny. Also, Perez, You got the so called joke wrong. Replay it and quote it correctly. I will not watch another CBS show until Letterman is fired.
How odd is it that almost all the people who are pissed off about this joke have the same avatar?
As for Letterman's comment, it was a goddamned joke. If these stupid hicks can't take the heat of the spotlight, then they should step away.
Perez, you are a damn liberal! People like you cause divisiveness!
Re: Glen – Bristol was NOT at the ball game or in New York. Willow Palin who is 14 was at the ballgame. Letterman said her daughter she brought to the game.
shelbz115–so i guess obama's daughters are fair game too! it would have been okay to talk about them being raped, right? you are an idiot! it is wrong no matter whose daughter letterman was talking about!
Re: hellojessi – Replay Letteman's show. He said Palin brought her Daughter to the Yankees game. That was Willow with her not the 18 yr old daughter. Letterman should be fired.
as usual, liberals here are showing their ignorance again! there is more to the story about the rape kits and the victims don't have to pay for them. i think you need to actually have an IQ above a 2 before posting but then again you are a liberal. your IQ can't be above a 2 or you wouldn't be a liberal in the first place. by the way, the Sarah Palin's 18-year old daughter who had the baby is not the daughter letterman was speaking about, you morons! it was her 14-year old daughter. you are such ignorant, trashy people. that is the definition of a liberal, of course!
Sarah Palin should go and fuck herself. She's a fuckin' bitch.
LOVE DAVE!
.
Love that he is taking on this two bit whore!
.
THE SHEBITCH CAN BITCH ALL SHE WANTS TO!
.
SHE WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING BUT A FLUTE BLOWER IN HIGH HEELED BOOTS!
This indignation is just rich considering how the Palins whored out their pregnant teen daughter and the baby daddy at the Republican National Convention last year. Hey, Sarah - did you donate those hundreds of thousands of dollars in free clothes to charity yet?
Re: KOOL KID – YOUR MOTHER IS A SLUT!!!
Re: knowitall – I really don't understand where all your venom comes from. Surely you are a good person - you clearly care about the state of the US, and that's commendable. Your posts are not unintelligent; they're just so full of anger I can't relate.
-
For the record, the joke was not about the 18-year-old unwed daughter… it was about the 14-year-old daughter whom Palin brought to the baseball game. Surely you must agree that a joke about A-Rod "knocking up" the 14-year-old in the seventh inning was in bad taste. I really dislike Obama but his kids are off limits as far as I'm concerned.
-
Are you so far out there that you think 14-year-olds are fair game?
-
fuck the palins…seriously, GO AWAY! he was joking! i swear, i'm not for violence but every time this woman opens her mouth i just want to slap her. a big thanks to mccain for bringing her around–i would have been just fine if i never had to hear, see, or read about this jackass!
LEARN TO TAKE A JOKE!!! YOU ARE IN THE PUBLIC EYE
LETTERMAN RULES!!! GLAD TO SEE HIM ON TOP AGAIN!
ahh perez, forever the douche. you never disapoint. sarah is is a political figure and a grown woman who can take her lumps. her children however should be off limits to any decent human being. the child in question is only 14, not the 18 year old…which is bad enough. anyone that thinks it's funny can't be a parent. not a good one anyway.
Did I mention that she and her family are gross,well someone needs to say it,I know everyone thinks it. D i s g u s t i n g
Re: Brandonlk – Well scumbag ,no one said fuck did they. And secondly if the Obamas were violentlyi anti- sex ed and anti-condom and anti-choice the way this trailer trash palin is and one of their daughters gets pregnant at 16 you can make a joke,but because there is no such thing in the Obama family the comparison is different. See when you are a millitant big government christo-fascist reichwing fuck like the Palin trash your house better not be built of glass.
Liqhten up ?
Honestly , it amazes me
That anytime a celebrity
Makes a "joke" about qays
Perez is all fired up & anqry about it
But when it comes to shit he doesn`t care about
He calls it a joke .
IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO CARE BOUT YOU
…Start out by carinqq for others too !
Re: sparkys nemesis –
I agree with you! That was the first thing that came to my mind!
Re: SweetPat –
Yuck! She isn't nearly as cute as she looks with 20 pounds of makeup on!! Not so hot!
Re: knowitall – #184
-
Yes, there IS such a thing in the Obama family - his mother. In fact, one might say that Bristol Palin was merely emulating Obama's mother. I wonder why you are unconcerned that Obama's mother, by YOUR definition, would be considered "white trash"? Ostensibly, she didn't believe in abortion either, else she would have had one, no?
-
Dave did not say anything about rape.
Lighten up???? WTF Perez you will never understand if someone said that about my daughter id kick their ass David Letterman was wrong he screwed up quit hatin on alaska geez people they are a part of this country too for shame on Letterman
any sexual activity between a minor (say, 14 yrs) and an adult is legally defined as rape.
So, a joke about Spitzer and her daughter is icky, inappropriate and would make me really mad as a mother.
The Palin's are so stuck on what everyone thinks of them. They know there's a lot of shit under that cheap veneer of them being a happy, got-it-all-together American family, when the truth is they are a bunch of miserable phonies.
Re-read the joke. It was aimed at Elliott Spitzer, not the Palins.
God. They are beyond fucked-up. How Todd arrived at this joke being about raping his daughter is illogical at best and political grand-standing at worst.
I find that funny you say lighten up! You so went crazy when Carrie made her statement about gay marriage and you had every right to disagree with her. But yet when someone disagrees with a adult male making sexual references to a 14 year old girl you say lighten up!! Little bit of a hypocrite don't you think?
does anyone else think it's hilarious how worked up people get on a frivolous celebrity gossip website?! Lighten up people please! No need to go into a full blown tirade about an issue that does not concern you whatsoever. Get a life! Haha
As much as I dislike Palin and God knows that its ALOT. David Letterman's humor seems to be getting more and more perverted the older he gets and its just freaking creepy
Letterman is a moron! There is a huge campaign against this degenerate fuck with the advertisers that sponsor his fuckfest for the lower masses. He sleeps around, refuses to marry the woman he had a bastard child with and is a poor father figure. Libitards are such losers!
Letterman has not been funny since Sam Kinison was on his show 20 years ago. How would Letterman like it if someone made a "joke" about his son being sexually assaulted? He is just a has been that nobody cares about. His act is old and he reads a couple of jokes written by others off of teleprompters so he has something in common with Obama. I hope Todd Palin kicks his ass. When the hell is Letterman going to retire? Soon, I hope.
No way! I'd be right pissed too if anyone talked about my little girl like that! You just don't mess with a mamma bears' cubs!
I know Letterman thought he was making a joke, but it backfired, and it always will with him now because he is sooooooooo political, he isn't fun to listen to any longer! If I wanted to listen to a liberal I 'd be watching Bill Mahr etc.
Lighten up?? She's their DAUGHTER!! Perez, maybe if there was anybody in the world you really cared about other than yourself you would understand that it's not much fun to see them publicly abused, sexually demeaned, and ridiculed! What planet was Letterman on that he ever remotely thought that was acceptable? Kudos to the Palin's for coming to their child's defense.
Wouldn't expect Mario to get why Letterman's remark pissed off the Palin's. He likes to attack little girls himself. Remember when he used to hate Miley Cyrus? Or the things he says about Adam Sandlers toddler. It also seems that for a lot of people taking aim at a kid is ok as long as you don't agree with her mother's politics. Pretty sad.
And by the way, yes it was a joke about rape - any sex act involving an underage girl is statutory rape, and this is what was implied here. For shame!!
There legit to say that stuff., its not right to joke about that… If it was Obamas daughter, they wouldn't dare, its wrong to go after someones kids just because you dislike them or their party
I thought it more of a jab at Spitzer, than the Pailin girl
