David Letterman took time out on his show tonight to apologize to that snowbilly family who won’t get the fuck out of our lives and go back to their ice-hell Mayberry where they make a living meth farming or something.
During a taping of tonight’s edition of his CBS "Late Show," Letterman went much further than his last explanation of the joke, in which he quipped that a baseball player had "knocked up" Palin’s daughter.
"I told a bad joke," Letterman said. "I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception. And since it was a joke I told, I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke."
But screamer (and not in a good way) Michelle Malkin says "ptui!!" to Letterman’s so-called apology that is none of her business…but she’s going to MAKE IT HER BUSINESS!!!
With protests planned and growing anger over his vulgar abuse of the Palin family, David “The Perv” Letterman attempts a belated, half-assed apology tonight on his increasingly unfunny show via TV Week
[...]
Notice that he’s apologizing for the execution of the joke. In other words: If only he had written it more clearly to take aim at Bristol instead of Willow, he wouldn’t have been misunderstood. And he wouldn’t be under the gun having to say he’s sorry for creating the wrong “perception.” He’s sorry he didn’t pull it off better.
His initial, impudent reaction is the honest one. And it won’t be forgotten.
In other words…donuts bitchez!
Also. Stupid Human Trick.

Letterman fell into the proverbial trap. They badgered him relentlessly, like the pack of rabid dogs they are. He finally caved (when really, he didn’t have to) and they declare victory.
These are the same people who support the war in Iraq, torture, secret prisons and the mass killing of Muslims. FUCK ‘EM! No apologies.
FUCK THE ANCHOR BABY AND THE WOMB SHE RODE IN ON.
How’s that for a demeaning joke to women?
I don’t feel comfortable staking out a position on this important topic until Joe T. Plumber weighs in with his opinion.
While we’re on the subject of apologies…if Dick Cheney shoots Rush Limbaugh in the face, who issues the public apology to whom?
Palin knows he never meant Willow. The joke only works if he meant Bristol. This is just another case of Sarah Palin using her children as props to assist her in pursuing her ambitions.
Jesus Christ, she’s a disgusting fucking POS.
Have to try it and find out.
Still, having Cheney shoot off Limbaugh’s face would be an improvement over the usual case of Limbaugh shooting off his own mouth.
I’m sorry that I have to keep listening to this.
WTF? I thought that Political Correctness was a liberal gambit to stifle free speech. And I could have sworn that just the other day Palin gave a speech in which she said “Screw the political correctness…”
Are these people still getting a daily email to tell them what their most deeply held beliefs are or have they moved that to Twitter so as to keep up with the pace of change?
Since when did David Letterman shape political discourse? This issue has “legs” only because people like Malkin exist to constantly shovel it into the “lizard brains” of borderline idiots in the wingnut classes.
Hey, Malkin, you want offensive. Here’s (deliberately) offensive:

(and it’s hilarious)
Well, I’m glad Michelle could get this off her calendar so she could concentrate fully on the racist joke the guy from South Carolina made about Michelle Obama, and his half-assed apology.
Oh, wait, you mean she’s going to ignore it?
DennisSGMM – yes, I caught that too. Week One – “screw the political correctness.” Week Two – [clutches pearls] “How DARE you!”
First, what is stupid about Malkin and her ilk is that they don’t get what sexism is. When guys at NRO are talking about getting hot watching Palin speak, when Limbaugh and any number of male conservatives talk about how hawt Palin is, that is sexism shielded by “support” for Palin the candidate. You can love women and still be sexist.
Second, from this and the over-the-top green support of Iranians, conservatives show again and again how very emotional they are. You have people like McCain urging Obama to do “something,” anything. It doesn’t matter. WEAR SOME GREEN, OBAMA!
The lapel-flag crowd operates viscerally, and if you don’t RAAAAAAAAAAAAH share their raging support, then you don’t support democracy.
Yet, conservatives think they are so coolly logical. Their idea of patriotism and support seems more like a frat boy drunken tailgate party. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! IRAN ROCKS!!!
Michelle is definitely on the right track. Her, ahem, cheerleading against that bastion of the left-wing moonbats, David Letterman, is a sure fire slam-dunk strategy to get Palin in the White House by 2012. Keep up the good work, Michelle, you’ve clearly thought this through.
(Pssst, don’t tell her that we’re a c-hair away from defeating the “war without end” supplemental.)
Um, no, Michelle, nothing…ooh, look shiny object, a comedian telling jokes!!!
How dare Palin accept Letterman’s apology??!!? Sure, (as was obviously whispered into her ear) it Makes Her Look Big, but did she give a thought to what Michelle Malkin would do with herself??!!?? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
They both have exactly two modes: Call People Terrorists and Demand Apologies. Palin has left Malkin with nothing to do here.
Hey, maybe Malkin can demand an apology from Palin for leaving Malkin with nothing to do in this situation!
When is Anchor baby going to apologize to cheerleaders world wide for that video? An entire generation of 13 year-old girls now run screaming at the sight of a pom-pom.
The absolute worst phrase in PunditSpeak is ‘In Other Words…’. It is always followed by ‘I am going to rephrase the actual quote into a strawman of my choosing that I can then proceed to fuck for the entertainment of my admirers’
Of course, once Willow does follow in her sister’s footsteps and gets a bun in the oven pre-high school graduation, it will be all Letterman’s fault. Curse him, that goatish Hoosier satyr!
Michelle, Michelle, you just don’t get it, do you. Palin and her church group have it covered. Letterman doesn’t stand a chance against the awesome power of imprecatory prayer. At this very moment, Jesus is weighing whether to strike him down with a thunderbolt or the swine flu.
Anchor Baby needs a good honchoing. You can see it her eyes. It’s a very common look amongst Repub women.
(funny how “Obama” sets off the spellcheck, but “honchoing” doesn’t)
Neither, I think they make up by sharing the corpse of a freshly raped victim. Or is that too classy?
Sarah Palin should be thanking Letterman for the attention. He’s a bigger celebrity than she is, a decent guy, and people like him. If she doesn’t accept his very generous apology, she’ll be seen for what she is: a cheap publicity whore.
Right-wing terrorism is all around us now. And all the anchor baby can do is whine about the big meanie David Letterman.

What a fucking disgrace.
Well, you have to remember, Michelle Malkin IS Sarah Palin. Remember that video she did? No, not the cheerleading one!
How sad that MiMi Malkin has to hang on to Sarah Palin’s coat tails.
Mwwwaaah.
“And it won’t be forgotten.” Oooooooo, cue the scary music!
Hey, Michelle, quick question. Has anyone ever mentioned what a little pissant you are?
I am only surprised that ol’ Stalkin’ Malkin hasn’t sent out her hordes of flying monkeys to stalk his every move.
“I see idiots from my house“, indeed!
I’m sure the flying monkeys are peeking at Letterman’s countertops as I type this.
I’d love to see MM try some Letterman stalking. Between the woman who kept moving into his house & the recent kidnapping (or extortion attempt, whatever it was) deal there might be a bit of security involved.
But of course Malkin would only check counter-tops at the homes of ordinary, powerless people, who have a son w/ permanent damage from an accident, not anywhere there might be property rights enforcement.
