I bet Ashley Herzog’s bummed he didn’t pull this a day earlier, huh? It would have made a sweet addition to her latest column. The best part: Letterman wondering why Slutty Flight Attendant didn’t stop by the show.
I guess if you can’t make ‘em laugh anymore, you might as well make ‘em wince. You missed your calling as a writer for Playboy, Dave.
Update: Conservatives 4 Palin has audio from John Ziegler’s radio show of Palin’s reaction. She’s not amused but cheerful as always.
Update (Ed): John Ziegler has his entire interview with Governor Palin here.

What a dope.
JammieWearingFool on June 9, 2009 at 3:27 PM
Letterman is unfunny and angry. An unfortunate combination.
Dino64 on June 9, 2009 at 3:27 PM
Letterman hasn’t shown any class in years.
GarandFan on June 9, 2009 at 3:27 PM
Drudge says that Palin actually shot back for this teaspoon of bile.
KingGold on June 9, 2009 at 3:28 PM
Letterman was funny in the ’80’s
DamnYankee on June 9, 2009 at 3:28 PM
and Obama looks like Dumbo
and Michelle looks like an evil ______
jp on June 9, 2009 at 3:28 PM
Again, how is this worse than the jew reference?
ClassicCon on June 9, 2009 at 3:28 PM
Allah, you missed the part in the opening monologue where he says Palin’s daughter got knocked up by A-Rod during the 7th inning stretch.
SnarkVader on June 9, 2009 at 3:28 PM
I wonder whick liberal female politician would get this same kind of treatment, not just from comedy writers but also from “journalists”.
myrenovations on June 9, 2009 at 3:28 PM
So Dave’s an authority on the slutty flight attendant look.
PS Hard to imagine Carson saying such a thing.
Labamigo on June 9, 2009 at 3:29 PM
He learned nothing from Carson.
Letterman is a dirtbag.
av8tr on June 9, 2009 at 3:29 PM
He went after Bristol too.
Jim Treacher on June 9, 2009 at 3:29 PM
Why give Letterman the Hotair time? He has not been funny in 20 years, if he ever was. How about Hotair just never give him anymore space?
georgealbert on June 9, 2009 at 3:30 PM
Letterman needs an enema. So do his writers.
MB4 on June 9, 2009 at 3:31 PM
An offensive joke from a late-night comic?
Shocka!
crr6 on June 9, 2009 at 3:31 PM
This from an old goat who got a younger girl pregnant, had a baby, and then married her. Stay classy, geezer.
The funniest thing that ever happened on your show was Lawler/Kaufman. It’s been downhill from there.
kingsjester on June 9, 2009 at 3:31 PM
He is pathetic. He’s just making fun of Sarah because Michelle looks like James Brown in drag. Now THAT’s funny.
NJ Red on June 9, 2009 at 3:31 PM
Yeah, apparently she called Letterman “pathetic.” You go Sarah!
Dino64 on June 9, 2009 at 3:31 PM
I SO agree…
texan_forever on June 9, 2009 at 3:32 PM
Welcome to Olby-land Dave…where ranting hate is common and ratings aren’t.
AUINSC on June 9, 2009 at 3:32 PM
David Letterman who?
I used to love him..I even taped his shows to watch the next day..but this was when he was funny..now he’s just a pissed off ..soon to be washed up..unfunny lefty..
good ridence
galtg on June 9, 2009 at 3:32 PM
I am sure the NOW will issue a strong condemnation… …Holding breath…Anyone there? Hello?
brennan251 on June 9, 2009 at 3:33 PM
My wife’s aunt and uncle lives next door to Letterman’s cabin in Montanta. They have had to deal this this moron a few times, and the word they usually use to describe him is “A##hole”…..
On another note, CBS ratings are in the toilet (see Drudge right now). No suprise there. These clowns are becoming more and more pathetic each and every day.
Norwegian on June 9, 2009 at 3:33 PM
I’ll take a flight attendant over a heathen, anti-American, freedom-apologizing, terrorist-appeasing, socialist/marxist dictator-wanna-be muslim any day of the week, DAVE.
ErinF on June 9, 2009 at 3:33 PM
But liberals can’t be misogynists. Only evil conservatives can be.
Loxodonta on June 9, 2009 at 3:33 PM
And if John McVain was invited back to Letterman, he’d go without a second thought.
Wethal on June 9, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Sounds like a perfect senate candidate.
/a sad MN resident
strictnein on June 9, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Thanks to free enterprise proponents like Sarah Palin, Dave was able to benefit from our extraordinary health care system that supplied his quadruple bypass surgery that saved is life. Otherwise, he’d be worm food right now. But that’s ok, Dave – you just keep bashing the people that help make this country great and making your millions.
Mr_Magoo on June 9, 2009 at 3:34 PM
The filth about Alex Rodriquez knocking up her 14 year old daughter CROSSED A LINE.
Dave should be censured by his bosses.
portlandon on June 9, 2009 at 3:34 PM
and Couric gave a hypocritical speech at Princeton, CBS is a joke
jp on June 9, 2009 at 3:34 PM
America should thank their damned lucky stars for a brave man like Letterman. For, without valiant and stalwart heroes like him, whom could we possibly look to for scathing insult and ridicule of the Palins? I’m so tired of the endless snipes and jabs at the poor Obamas by the media and comedy circuit.
MadisonConservative on June 9, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Still not as vile as Jon Stewart.
PrezHussein on June 9, 2009 at 3:35 PM
imagine if your Todd Palin and you have to hear this crap but can’t go and beat the daylights out of Letterman
jp on June 9, 2009 at 3:35 PM
I thought David Letterman was dead, who really watches his crap anyway?
Repubtallygirl on June 9, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Of course you do. We’re both Texans.
av8tr on June 9, 2009 at 3:36 PM
That was actually Willow. The 14 yr old daughter.
upinak on June 9, 2009 at 3:36 PM
Talk about damning with faint praise…
AUINSC on June 9, 2009 at 3:36 PM
Letterman is like the blind man picking out his favorite porno. They are both clueless.
MDWNJ on June 9, 2009 at 3:37 PM
He’s not dead, he just looks and smells that way.
ErinF on June 9, 2009 at 3:37 PM
Not for James Brown..
the_nile on June 9, 2009 at 3:37 PM
Letterman’s life is so low that all other lots he envies. True worth he hath none. Mercy and justice both scorn him. Ignore him, look ahead and pass him by.
Tav on June 9, 2009 at 3:37 PM
I’m sorry, but I just can’t get outrageously outraged about this. Yes, if SP was a liberal Letterman would have had to apologize to NOW and make nice. Yes, if SP was a liberal there would be a big stink. Yes, if SP was a liberal…..
But who cares? Sarah Palin isn’t going to have her feelings hurt by a person like Letterman. You don’t live in Alaska unless you’re made of some pretty tough stuff.
Also, I like Sarah Palin. She kinda rocks in a major way.
Aquateen Hungerforce on June 9, 2009 at 3:37 PM
Here come the trolls…….
Knucklehead on June 9, 2009 at 3:38 PM
Letterman only WISHES that that slutty flight attendant might look his way.
Typical liberal pig.
UrbanRevival on June 9, 2009 at 3:38 PM
You can’t really expect much better from Letterman since his whole family was scum. Especially his two sisters, Janice and Gretchen.
woody johnson on June 9, 2009 at 3:38 PM
OR’s .. gotta love them.
upinak on June 9, 2009 at 3:38 PM
… letterman would be kissing her ass, not mocking her.
ErinF on June 9, 2009 at 3:39 PM
This isn’t a rerun? I thought he was in off-network syndication.
regal on June 9, 2009 at 3:39 PM
Like I’ve said, Letterman is the smell that lingers after someone burped in your face (yes, I have countless of beta male friends that apparently find that funny). That’s what Letterman is to late night talk shows.
Savrielle on June 9, 2009 at 3:39 PM
So I guess we can expect a bunch of jokes about Pelosi, Sotomayor, Chelsea Clinton, etc.
Just A Grunt on June 9, 2009 at 3:39 PM
Maybe she should be glad he’s mocking her, if that’s the alternative.
MadisonConservative on June 9, 2009 at 3:40 PM
Here come the trolls…….
Knucklehead on June 9, 2009 at 3:38 PM
Just so long as The Wall and Poptech haven’t snuck back in.
kingsjester on June 9, 2009 at 3:40 PM
If Letterman was given an enema what’s left could be buried in a thimble.
50sGuy on June 9, 2009 at 3:40 PM
I always thought this tool looks like a Gestapo interrogator. Put one of those long cigarette holders in his hand and you can see it. Besides, with his intolerance and fascist views isn’t that what he and all these other bleeders really are – NAZI’s?!
yubley on June 9, 2009 at 3:40 PM
We’ve seen the female lineup on the left, and Sarah puts them all to shame. Poor pathetic Davy can only stand on the sidelines and lob his lame one liners. Pity him…it’s all he’s got.
Dee2008 on June 9, 2009 at 3:40 PM
Figures… Letterman and Katie Couric (an actual slut) taking swipes at Sarah Palin (he on TV and she at Princeton Class Day)… two CBS failures who continue to get their respective clocks cleaned by their competition.
D2Boston on June 9, 2009 at 3:40 PM
Did they get the boot?
Knucklehead on June 9, 2009 at 3:41 PM
Let hope they didn’t get back in.
And yes, a while ago.
upinak on June 9, 2009 at 3:41 PM
That WAS pretty damn funny, red! Good one!
UltimateBob on June 9, 2009 at 3:42 PM
It is time for retirement. He needs to join Dan Rather in obscurity.
SC.Charlie on June 9, 2009 at 3:43 PM
The filth about Alex Rodriquez knocking up her 14 year old daughter CROSSED A LINE.
Dave should be censured by his bosses.
portlandon on June 9, 2009 at 3:34 PM
He should be censured, but you know he won’t be. Just don’t watch him; I haven’t in about 15 years. And let’s not overlook that this is a horrible things to say about A-Rod too. He’s not a choir boy, but he’s never raped anyone either. Rape is a criminal act, and to include A-Rod in the joke is just as despicable. (No, I’m not a Yanks’ fan; I just think men should be defended too.)
NebCon on June 9, 2009 at 3:43 PM
It’s amazing Dave can speak with Obama’s ____ so far down this throat.
RarestRX on June 9, 2009 at 3:43 PM
Obviously keyed purely for the limousine liberal echo chamber. Can’t believe I used to watch this guy. What a has-been.
evergreen on June 9, 2009 at 3:44 PM
Disgusting old perv that Letterman.
He’s down the ratings rat hole with Katie Couric. Bossom buddies.
jencab on June 9, 2009 at 3:44 PM
The latest example of how you can be sexist, chauvinistic, bigoted, racist, etc as long as you are a member of the Left.
TheBigOldDog on June 9, 2009 at 3:45 PM
Close this thread after on simple question:
PALIN or MICHELLE
SDarchitect on June 9, 2009 at 3:45 PM
Too bad Mr. Carson never taught Dave anything about class in their conversations.
kingsjester on June 9, 2009 at 3:45 PM
So will we get outrage from “the view”..
the_nile on June 9, 2009 at 3:45 PM
For once, Letterman is actually worse than I thought.
Jim Treacher on June 9, 2009 at 3:45 PM
I can’t believe how much hatred has been directed at this family. Not only the candidate but her teenage daughters. Trip isn’t even off limits if you consider what that turd burglar Sullivan has said. This is why a lot of good people stay out of politics. You come from humble beginnings, criticize leftists, and then have your character assaulted on a daily basis by douche bags like Letterman and Stewart. And yet no notable Republican will man up and defend this lady. F-ck them all.
V15J on June 9, 2009 at 3:46 PM
Letterman is just another low-class liberal toad. Living proof money cannot buy you class.
Zorro on June 9, 2009 at 3:46 PM
He should be taken off the air. Imus was taken off for far lesser than this. Obama should be pressed to respond if he agrees with this kinds of behavior or is his concern only for black women?
Most of us conservatives are simply willing to laugh it of by saying he’s a jerk.And then we wonder why don’t have cultural institutions in our grasp. We can’t let this go. It’s beneath disgusting. Ask for Letterman’s head and get it.
promachus on June 9, 2009 at 3:46 PM
This is good news for Guy Cimbalo, at least. He’s got a fallback career on the Late Show staff.
Jim Treacher on June 9, 2009 at 3:47 PM
Letterman is such a loser! He’s totally intimidated by this strong woman. I wrote CBS and suggested that he grow a pair, and stop feeling so threatened.
8starsnorth on June 9, 2009 at 3:47 PM
He should be suspended indefinitely for the Willow/ARod crap.
Dino64 on June 9, 2009 at 3:47 PM
We have been boycotting network t.v. for a long time. Complete garbage there. It’s usually Fox News or Red Sox games on here.
4Freedom on June 9, 2009 at 3:47 PM
How old is Obama’s oldest daughter again?…..
There would be riots in the streets if Letterman had said a member of the White Sox knocked up his daughter.
portlandon on June 9, 2009 at 3:47 PM
I don’t think we’ll see those morons ever again. Pretty sure a ban by Allah is permanent, even if they attempt to re-register.
Norwegian on June 9, 2009 at 3:47 PM
Letterman has never been funny, so why start at the end of his career? Being snide, nastily sarcastic and condescending has never forced him to hire writers of consequence, thus this garbage that passes for “enlightened humor”. Good thing his audience is brain dead, otherwise they wouldn’t have laughed on cue. There’s a reason people off-camera hold up cue cards saying “laugh”. Otherwise the audience, such as it is, wouldn’t know when to do it. If ever.
Besides, remember the source: it’s NBC, parent of Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, et al, and their reknowned House of Tolerance.
bradley11 on June 9, 2009 at 3:48 PM
Such a harsh term. We’re supposed to say “hate-f***” now. Playboy said so.
MadisonConservative on June 9, 2009 at 3:48 PM
I think it’s all in the way you’re wired. Carson was a class act by nature. Letterman is a dirty rotten pig to the core.
sherry on June 9, 2009 at 3:49 PM
You should have listened to me when I told you to take over television and entertainment media back in 1945.
eaglesdontflock on June 9, 2009 at 3:49 PM
Nah – they’ll say Palin “asked for it” because she took her daughter to the ball game.
katiejane on June 9, 2009 at 3:49 PM
The guy is a penis wrinkle.
He can’t help himself from saying asinine things. I wonder if it is for shock value.
Even if writers wrote it, he should have no bothered.. yet he still said it.
Pathetic isn’t even the word I would use for this limp pencil.
upinak on June 9, 2009 at 3:49 PM
Even if they register using a different computer?
Loxodonta on June 9, 2009 at 3:50 PM
Letterman is a useless piece of garbage. He passed his expiration date with me a decade ago. His audience is crap too for applauding to that drivel.
echosyst on June 9, 2009 at 3:50 PM
He may be too classy for Letterman’s show…Guy Cimbalo didn’t go after a 14 year old…yet.
AUINSC on June 9, 2009 at 3:50 PM
Yep. They are the only ones who will laugh at this sort of hateful, sexist, elitist crap.
Letterman used to have a bigger audience when he was funny a long time ago. Now, I imagine that the only people watching his show every night are the hard-left hollywood types (Sean Penn, Clooney, Garofalo, etc) who sit at home wishing they’d be invited onto his show.
UltimateBob on June 9, 2009 at 3:50 PM
You know, I don’t usually get too worked up over dumb celebs stupid utterances, but my 66 year old mom is a flight attendant and I do find that to be very offensive for such a creepy dude as Letterman to say.
Topsecretk9 on June 9, 2009 at 3:51 PM
How these independent/moderate middle class women who hate Palin so much can’t be irked what is being done to her is beyond me.
Letterman should be fired for making the Willow comment. What an a**.
I don’t know… would Stewart make a comment like that? I guess on Comedy Central…
davek70 on June 9, 2009 at 3:51 PM
Letterman is your typical leftist scum bucket. He was once stalked by some bimbo and what did he do confront her? No, too chickensh.t for that. He calls the police WAAA WAA, there’s a girl stalking me. Please make her stop. Can’t stand this tunnel tooth A hole.
hip shot on June 9, 2009 at 3:51 PM
Letterman behaved in the same crass manner when McCain stood him up. Apparently Mr.Letterman is just dying for some attention from Ms.Palin and has decided that “bad” attention is better than no attention at all.
Grow up Mr.Letterman, you are like an immature teenage boy who does lame stunts at school hoping the popular cheerleader in the coolest clique looks at you.
canditaylor68 on June 9, 2009 at 3:52 PM
The older some men get the less they care about their manners. I used to like Lettermen but over the years he has become a jerk.
shick on June 9, 2009 at 3:52 PM
As for Couric…go over to Drudge and indulge in a little schadenfreude at the main headline.
Savrielle on June 9, 2009 at 3:52 PM
Different computer or not, I believe you have to submit a valid e-mail address when you register, IIRC.
Of course, that would be easy enough to do, anyway. Just create a new Yahoo address and re-register.
UltimateBob on June 9, 2009 at 3:52 PM
Give Litterman a non-removable wig of moose antlers and set him loose in ANWR, and I’ll gladly fly the friendly skies of Palin. Happy hunting, Governor!
Steve Z on June 9, 2009 at 3:53 PM
Such good news. Thanks for the heads-up. I suspect she’ll “step down” by the end of this year.
sherry on June 9, 2009 at 3:53 PM
Dave needs to get a life.
