Palin accepts Letterman apology
posted at 9:28 am on June 16, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Sarah Palin put an effective end to the contretemps over David Letterman and his admittedly “coarse” jokes about Palin’s daughter. After Letterman apologized on national television last night, Palin accepted the apology. She also made an important point about free speech that answers some of the countercritics of the dispute:
Sarah Palin has accepted comedian David Letterman’s apology made during Monday night’s broadcast of “The Late Show” for crude jokes made about her and her teen daughters last week.
In a statement to FOXNews.com early Tuesday, the Alaska governor said, “Of course it’s accepted on behalf of young women, like my daughters, who hope men who ‘joke’ about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve.”
“Letterman certainly has the right to ‘joke’ about whatever he wants to, and thankfully we have the right to express our reaction,” Palin said. “This is all thanks to our U.S. Military women and men putting their lives on the line for us to secure America’s Right to Free Speech – in this case, may that right be used to promote equality and respect.”
Letterman’s apology hasn’t yet quieted the calls for his firing, as Tommy Christopher noted last night after its announcement. The boss was unimpressed, as was Laura in our Green Room. Still, it seems hard to imagine that an effort to fire Letterman and boycott his advertisers would proceed after Palin’s gracious acceptance of Letterman’s latest retreat. After all, Palin and her daughters were the aggrieved parties in this exchange, and if she doesn’t want to pursue it, then it will take the steam out of the effort elsewhere.
This is a smart move by Palin. She has become more confident and capable on the national-media stage, and she needs to establish herself as a major player on policy and not just a personality. Palin needs to rise above the petty personal attacks that tend to paint her as a damsel in distress, requiring rescue from her fans in the form of boycotts and protests. She’s proven herself tougher than that in Alaskan politics, and Palin certainly can make the transition on a national level — as long as she doesn’t keep the focus on victimhood, no matter how legitimate it might be.
Her parting shot should also resonate. Some pundits had cast Letterman as the victim of howling mobs looking to silence him, and Palin’s statement reminds the critics that no one disputed Letterman’s right to say whatever he wants. That doesn’t, however, make him free from criticism, nor from legitimate free-market reaction to his caddish “jokes”. Criticizing Letterman was every bit the same kind of free speech that Letterman enjoyed in making the jokes, as was the effort to punish his sponsors — who pay for Letterman’s speech — at the cash register.
Update: Jim Treacher says the rest of us should accept the apology, too.

Such as, for example, idiocy?
Jim Treacher on June 16, 2009 at 11:11 AM
Did anyone see Al Sharpton on Hannity ? I watched trying to be open minded but he went on and on about DLs joke not as offensive as what Imus said . How anyone lets him on thier show is beyond me . He has no credibility and refuses to listen to reason.If its not done to a group then its not offensive? Barf!
LSUMama on June 16, 2009 at 11:13 AM
Boycott all advertiser’s products:
Hopefully, this will be the last time they breathe a word about any of her daughters.
RepubChica on June 16, 2009 at 11:14 AM
No, I didn’t see that, but I did see Hannity interviewing Dog the Bounty Hunter… ;-)
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 11:15 AM
my mistake, I thought someone defending a person who does himself thinks that way

Cindy…Mumford, how the heck are you and did you and your hubby enjoy your trip those couple weeks ago? (I hope you guys didn’t go to any public places where David Letterman might make fun of you)

I don’t often agree with dedalus, but in context, it was clear what he meant.

Thankyou for your service and thankyou for putting Tom in his place.
LSUMama on June 16, 2009 at 11:18 AM
Ed, Sarah Palin never acted like a victim.
She always merely responded to the MSM-created-drama that came flying at her, from day one.
For you to harp, focus on and stipulate that Palin was acting like a victim is to carry on the meme that the MSM intended for it to do.
And that is because you are ever too close the rear end of the media.
Those of you who are bloggers and writers, wherein you have to be glued to the news cycle, truly are biased in many aspects, in that you truly don’t understand, that we in middle-fly-over-America, don’t give a rats behind what the MSM peddles out there.
You bloggers just think that you have to respond to the media shinola in some fair way, which is pure unadulterated bullcrap.
Why not try defending a true conservative politician for a change, instead of “looking” fair to a media that has no pretense of being fair?
Your readers will love you for it.
Mcguyver on June 16, 2009 at 11:19 AM
We had a great time. Lots of family and friends. There aren’t enough writers on Mr. Letterman’s team to find something to joke about us, boring. I almost feel sorry for someone so obviously miserable.
Cindy Munford on June 16, 2009 at 11:21 AM
Being CEO of a company with $40B in revenue tends to require a different set of management skills than being CEO of a company with $1B.
As far as electoral votes, they are what makes someone President. The fact that Reagan could pick up 45/47 electoral votes from CA was a big deal.
dedalus on June 16, 2009 at 11:22 AM
But didn’t Palin say the military fights for my freedom of speech so I can say whatever I like?
And, really, save your “you think you’re above the military” act. I never said anything against the military, just that I believe that Palin is cynically invoking the military to gain political points.
Or, does the military not allow people to criticize Palin?
Tom_Shipley on June 16, 2009 at 11:22 AM
perhaps next time you can allow dedalus to explain his own posts

Thanks, but low-life, mean-spirited hypocrite liberals like Shipley have no place. Unless of course you consider that his kind are boils on the butt of society.
As an Army Officer I would die for Sarah Palin or any one of you great Conservatives who post here. I would cross the street to piss on a liberal like Shipley if he were on fire.
(I’m going to blame my crude language on the company I keep here)
hawkdriver on June 16, 2009 at 11:24 AM
I think his post was very easy to decipher. He’d have to be an idiot to not know that Alaska was the largest (or at least one of the largest) states in the Union. Maybe next time you shouldn’t jump on him simply because you feel threatened – unless you can justify otherwise. Palin will stand on her own credentials and believe me, in the end her State’s population isn’t going to be the game changer.

It’s more than defending Palin. It’s defending everything that’s good about the US against evil, black-hearted liberals like you.

runner on June 16, 2009 at 11:32 AM
And by the way, Ed.
If Palin’s supporters want to continue getting Letterman fired, then so be it.
Remember Don Imus?
Right.
Even after he groveled and kissed ass, the left still had him fired.
What’s sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander.
Let them have a taste of their own medicine, for a change.
It’s time that we stand up and start getting nasty before we lose this Republic to a bunch of yayhoos that have no pretense of being fair.
Remember the Golden rule? Treat others like we would like to be treated, right?
Here’s the Golden rule in action: “If I was as stupid as those yayhoos, then I would like anybody to do whatever it takes to knock some sense into me, including (but not limited to), getting Letterman fired in this case, because it teaches a lesson of fairness and equality.
If and when, this turns into a civil war with the Lefty Statists taking our rights away, then we will RUE the day that we didn’t get “nasty” to demand our equal rights.
And on the day of civil war, Ed, your brownie points for being nice are going to be remembered like so many dried-out cow pies, good for throwing at you.
Mcguyver on June 16, 2009 at 11:36 AM
Ah, I see, so the U.S. military is about defeating liberalism? You’re right, I wouldn’t condescend to try and understand that.
And people on this site thought the DHS was out of line by suggesting some veterans might be susceptible to recruitment by hate groups.

Tom_Shipley on June 16, 2009 at 11:22 AM
Did you miss the “say what you want, but respect others’ right to react to what you say” part of her statement?
Many people here essentially tell others to “shut up” when disagreeing. Doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.
So, if you don’t have anything to add, why don’t you just hush?
cs89 on June 16, 2009 at 11:38 AM
I guess I would cross the street.
hawkdriver on June 16, 2009 at 11:40 AM
Umm, that’s because they were out of line.
In America 2009, it’s illegal “profiling” to say “hmm, we’ve had a lot of crimes committed by people with characteristics x,y,z. Maybe we should take a closer look at people with those characteristics?” At the same time, DHS statements are developed without supporting data indicated what specific groups are targeted, and what actions led to the closer inspection.
Crazy.
cs89 on June 16, 2009 at 11:42 AM
Since she accepts his apology, so will I, but he is still a boring dork who is no longer entertaining. I will continue to ignore his show, as I have for several years.

In my part of America, we care about and are fair, as well.
But when the opposition is unfair and has no pretense of being fair, we start kicking some serious butt and don’t try to pretend we’re not mad, unlike Ed, who has cotton balls for testicles.

ladyingray on June 16, 2009 at 11:56 AM
Sarah Palin has shown a lot of toughness and “class” in this kerfuffle–willing to speak up to defend her innocent daughter against an outrageous attack, but willing to accept a real apology when one was finally made. Maybe this should be a lesson to Letterman and his ilk that personal attacks on Sarah Palin can backfire on them, square in their wallets.
Sarah Palin’s “grace under fire” in the face of vicious personal attacks might win her sympathy from women who may not ordinarily support her politics, much as Hillary Clinton won sympathy during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Even if Palin doesn’t want to discuss this issue any more, people may now be more willing to listen to her when she speaks about political issues.
Now, when is Letterman going to apologize to A-Rod? After all, he doesn’t really rape teenage girls during the seventh-inning stretch–he’s probably with his teammates in the dugout.
Steve Z on June 16, 2009 at 11:58 AM

Look, Treacher says we should accept the apology. Our Lord Queen Sarah has also accepted the apology.
We Palintologists should now move on to other causes in the quest for our Queen. I suggest we organize a “Million Airhead March” to FORCE BILL OREILLY TO MEET HIS PWOMISE TO PIMP OUR DEFENSE FUND FOR QUEEN SARAH PALIN.
Who is with me????

I have to hit the rack. I’ll just close with this. For years, as long as I can remember, the media and liberals have been playing like there is some dark side to Conservatives. Like we are the mean ones.
They have successfully dehumanized us to the point where they not only feel comfort in the attacks they make on an 18 year old girl, they’ll use her 14 year old sister to facilitate it. Then they have legends of like-minded Joe Geobbel types who’ll defend the comment.

I think what this episode will:
1)cause millions of Americans (especially women) to give Sarah Palin a second look (now on the fence)
2)cause former fence-sitters to come over to Sarah Palin en masse as evidenced by an exponential increase in Sarah’s Facebook and Twitter membership
3)establish Sarah Palin as a major player as evidenced by an article in The Daily Beast by Mark McKinnon, a Republican strategist
4)increase exponentially donations to SarahPAC (confirmation in July)
This is a big win for Sarah.

Not so fast! Sarah Palin is a classy lady. She did what she did because it just proves that fact. I am sure it was a lesson in life for her family, too. She is so gracious because she is who she is.
She needed to end this because Letterman was getting the attention he wanted. However, I don’t have to be as gracious. I can still write and call for his firing. So should everyone else that thinks he needs to go. It is our right and I am tired of the snarky mind minipulation of the media. This was the perfect outlet and still is. We are still free to protest and speak out against idiots no matter where they reside. Shine the light of truth on them constantly. I will not sit down and shut up!

I believe someone at Big Hollywood wrote an article about Maher’s show, and he called up HBO and told them he wanted his HBO disconnected due to Maher’s content. You get a lot of people disconnecting, stop purchasing sponsor’s goodies, and you will either have him giving a sincere apology, or kicked off HBO. If we were lucky. Ann calling him out on that show would also be beneficial if for no other reason than forcing him to at least apologize.
In reality I very much know HBO will probably never force Maher out. But I can dream.

Sweet_Thang on June 16, 2009 at 12:43 PM
Ditto! The Flag is still flying the last time I checked.
Letterman should be fired, just like Don Imus, because that is the model we have been given.
As long as we don’t apply the same rules the Lefty Statists live by, then we are going to continue to lose this battle.
This is a mental civil war and in war, as the saying goes: “All is fair”.
This mental war is a precursor to a civil war, whereupon we will fight with our lives and blood to regain equality in the social-political arena.
IF, (not when) we lose this mental war, we WILL move on to a full blown civil war.
Study history. History proves this.
Civil war starts with social issues, which then quickly morphs into economic issues, which when real impoverishment sets in, leads to a full blown, blood and guts civil war, FOUGHT FOR THE MERE SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES, which in this case is our American species and way of life.
Inequality, fight for it now, or fight for it later.
It’s our choice. Make it.
Mcguyver on June 16, 2009 at 12:52 PM
Bill Maher now wants to take up the mantle of Big Tool. I suppose the only advantage for Maher is that his show is on cable, on an HBO program that only those on the Left Coast watch. (But if you did see, you would have seen PJ O’Rourke provide a nice defense of conservatism and criticism of Obama, much to leg tingler Matthews’ chagrin).

So Leno/Hillary jokes are allowed, (adult/politician), kid jokes are NOT allowed.
Geez these people are MORONS.

TMK on June 16, 2009 at 1:01 PM
Palin handled this masterfully. Letterman took THREE cheap personal shots at her and her daughter which reinforced a very negative stereotype that dogs her politically (i.e., that she’s a hick/hillbilly). Of course, those cheap shots exposed the media double-standard against conservatives, since the same comments against Obama or any liberal would have spelled the demise of Letterman’s career instantly (see Don Imus).
The press gave it de minimis coverage until she used her bully pulpit to force coverage, which she then leveraged to expose the double-standard and to act as a force multiplier to put pressure on Letterman. Letterman is forced to relent, issuing not one, but two apologies. At this point, Palin has forced Letterman into submission. She then graciously accepts his apology “on behalf of young women everywhere” and moves on, having changed the narrative from “haha, Letterman humiliated Palin” to “Letterman is a jackass and wow, Palin really stood up to him.” Letterman, for his part, looks the part of a bitter old man in the twilight of his career who is forced to, through gritted teeth, apologize.
BRILLIANCE.
Now we just need to get Palin to speak more authoritatively on some of the bigger issues and we might be able to rescue her yet!

I think he went even further and was trying to reinforce that Palin is a hypocritical bimbo who is “slutty” and has daughters who are loose because she is a bad parent which means all Conservatives are Evil. His joke was so twisted, illogical and demeaning on so many levels.
You’re right that Sarah played this brilliantly! She turned a negative into a positive. Now Letterman will still have to deal with the many women (and men) who are still outraged about his “jokes” and will continue their protests. As Palin says, the people have as much right to protest as Dave does to make his “jokes.”

hawkdriver is right. The Libturds have dehumanized Conservatives and Lecherman’s “joke” is an example of it; the Libturd’s defense of Lecherman’s joke is an example of it; the Libturd’s attacks on Sarah Palin’s defending her children is an example of it.
When are we going to wake up and go French on these people? I’ve had it. I want a frakkin’ divorce from these animals.

Palin certainly can make the transition on a national level — as long as she doesn’t keep the focus on victimhood, no matter how legitimate it might be.
-Ed
She never put or kept the focus on victimhood. Believing that she did just proves that some bald heads should never go out in the sun without a hat.

President bastard?
I thought that already without the prompting.
Nope. Although the Jim Treacher thing almost did it.
F*** Leatherface with a shotgun. Both barrels.
He’d do the same to you without a second thought.
Remember the day Richard Simmons offered Leatherface ten thousand dollars to make some sort of celebrity endorcement?
Richard was carrying the cash in a brief case.
Dave turned him down cold which was bad enough. Egg on Richard Simmons face “ha ha ha” from the audience.
That wasn’t enough for Dave though.
As Richard is leaving the building Dave leans out the window and yells to the street “That man is carrying $10,000″.
F funnyman with a crowbar.

Why is it that the author of this blogpost and the Libturds don’t get that it’s not Sarah Palin who has been focusing on “victimhood”, but Big Media is?
Did Ed see the Lauer interview where he brought up Lecherman, and Palin said, “If you must”. That sounds like reluctance to me.
Why is Ed so blind?

If Mitt could (and a big could) come down off of his high horse and be a Veep, they would have a winning ticket.
But no way is he going to allow Sarah the chance to be Pres., that is not the way guys like Mitt “roll”.
Woman are secondary creatures in his world.

Ed needs a hat.
The Obama sun is blinding him.
May I suggest a Mexican sombrero?
Obama said we should learn another language.
Try the language of a true conservative, Palin.

I have a question for you Romney supporters.
First let me state I’d rather have Romney POTUS than Obama and have never said a bad word about Romney except that he wasn’t strong enough to finish McCain off for good when the latter was down and out in Sept. 2007.
Now to the question, from what I have read from you folks in various blogs, why are you not more vocal in opposing the Messiah and calling him out on his radical socialist-Fascist agenda than you appear to be than attacking Sarah Palin?
After all Sarah is a Republican; why is she perceived to be more of an enemy to you folks than Obama?
If you read my posting on various websites 80% are devoted to attacking Obama and 20% to advocating for Sarah. I feel it is counterproductive to attack our own.
