Reply #40: Just saw a clip of Letterman's "jokes" this morning [View All]

I'm really surprised at those of you who are dismissing or even laughing at Letterman's jokes about Palin's 14 year old daughter. Not only were they in poor taste but he was totally lacking in judgment. He most certainly should have apologized but the apology I saw this morning was both insincere and snide.

It's one thing to make jokes about very public figures such as politicians -- comes with the territory. But tasteless attacks on a child who didn't ask for any of this is cowardly. Shame on those of you who think kids are fair game for public humiliation, no matter who their parents might be.
