She is correct. The OP is a racist slur.
Palin is married to a man of Alaskan Native American ancestry so therefore also are her children. Igloo girl is a clearly a racial slur and is for no other purpose. If it acceptable to call Palin “igloo girl” then it equally acceptable to call Obama “plantation boy.” Both are founded in racial prejudice and the joy some find in racial slurs.
So many trying to laugh at StandUp for complaining demonstrates just how popular racial slurs remain for many people including on this forum.
On brother. :2sick1:
Too late.
Letterman is a classic leftist elite. He's above apologizing like a man the first time. Like I said when this came out, he's a dirty old man. And Palin was right, he's pathetic.
Accepting apologies doesn't create headlines, so don't expect it from either side, at any time, on anything.
Awesome.
Can we lock it up and go home? Or do we need to analyze the apology and the acceptance??
Let me guess, neither are good enough for the opposite side.:doh

What amazes me most is how Palin is willing to use her dysfunctional family as a political "tool" to gain more air time on national tv. It is funny that this "scandal" suddenly popped just about the time where Palin was a non story in the mainstream media. Now all of a sudden she is all over the freaking place it seems, spewing her airhead comments about everything and clearly showing a total lack of knowledge about almost everything.

Wait wait wait wait....
I can understand blaming the Palin's a bit for keeping this prolonged and in the news cycle, essentially airing their distaste for it in such a public way that for a week anyone that may've not heard about it the first day DEFINITELY heard about it by the end of teh week...
But it seems your ONLY blaming the victem here while mostly giving Letterman a pass. Yes, the Palin's may've handled it poorly, but they would not have been in the position to handle it poorly if Letterman didn't try to pull their daughter into a pregnancy/sex joke. The blame for this goes to Letterman, with part of the blame for the length of it going to the way Palin's handled it. Your one sided nature of your lecture seemed odd.
And no one cares about A-roid. He probably was to busy doing another semi-nude magazine spread and jabbing needles in his ass to notice.
Some came to that conclusion almost immediately...This self rightous hysteria makes me nauseous.In a few months people will look back at this and think "well that was a big fuss out of nothing much"

I'm not giving Letterman a pass. It was a poor joke, it was over the line, and he apologized. He's definitely to blame for starting the whole thing, but I put far more blame on the Palins for escalating it to the stratosphere. It'd be one thing to just respond to a question from a reporter and say that it was crude and tasteless and that he should apologize or whatever, but to go around doing talk shows about it where you basically accuse the guy of being a child molester is taking it to a whole new dimension.
And I was joking about A-Rod.
Well said.
She would have come off so much better by criticizing the joke she knew Dave was making and going to the extreme.
You mean the joke about the 14 year old daughter being sexually abused by a middle aged pro athlete?

He should have given a sincere apology to start with. Making jokes about raping 14 year olds is what I would consider beyond "coarse".
And your calling her igloo girl only demeans any perception of your intelligence much more than it demeans the governor of alaska.
He wasn't referring to the 14 year old (and you know it). The joke was only funny referring to how easy Bristol is. Remember, she's the one that got knocked up by a dumbass redneck at 17.
No, I'm basing it on broadcast interviews with the dumbass redneck. You didn't see them, or did you not notice because he is so much like you?
Jallman who likes to throw out personal insults knows well that Letterman was referring to the 18 year old. Iam not defending that but let's try some honesty!!
