Damn people are going over the top with this.... Do I think it was a stupid joke and pretty pathetic, yes. Do I think he should be fired, no.

I agree. Yea the joke was racy and not in good taste. He apologized, it's over, LET IT GEAUX.

What was the joke?
About Alex Rodriguez knocking up her daughter at the yankees game

the joke was more offensive than the nappy headed ho's comment and many other similar with racial overtones
and we know what happened there.

I wonder if Sarah Palin understands how much she is helping Letterman's ratings by keeping this story in the news.
Way to go Sarah!

So did Don Imus. And that is my problem with this whole thing. It's the double standard that gets me.

It's also the way they said it. Don Imus just looks like a mean old a-hole.
Letterman didn't say anything racist. He simply made fun of Sarah Palin (who's kind of seen as a national joke).

Good point. With Imus, a lot of people had little to zero exposure to him before that incident, so it was easy for people to be like "who is this racist a-hole?" Letterman on the other hand is in people's living room's every night and is a fairly beloved American TV icon. FWIW i think what Imus said is worse than Letterman's joke. Other people have made jokes about Palin's daughter in the last few months and haven't gotten this serious of a reaction.

Right. Black people can never be the targets of jokes. In fact, saying anything about black people is racist.
And all Republicans are national jokes anyway.

"Right. Black people can never be the targets of jokes. In fact, saying anything about black people is racist."
That may be how you feel, but I disagree. Imus looks like an a-hole, so he couldn't pull the joke off.

wasn't the joke bout the older daughter? Or is the target disputed?
