Mustang Rambles

David Letterman, in the aftermath of his horribly bad joke about Sarah Palin’s daughter at the ball game, still hasn’t said he is sorry, and indicates that Sarah can’t take a joke. If that was a joke and intended to be funny, then most of America has no sense of humor. It was tasteless, unfunny, and unfortunately, about as good as most of Letterman’s jokes.

Letterman, to his defense, didn’t have a clue as to which daughter was in attendance at the ball game and alluded to a statutory rape of the daughter by a well-known baseball player. I think, and I’m grasping at straws, that the humor was alluding to Sarah’s other, older daughter who had a child out of wedlock, an event that hardly raises a liberal eyebrow these days. The sad thing is that Letterman was clueless as to the moral and legal aspects of his joke.

Still, a decent man would not have made the joke to start with, and anyone with any conscience would have apologized by now. Letterman is a sleazebag. He has no respect for any remotely conservative person, drools openly over leftist celebrities (his only source of his miserable ratings), and doesn’t have the decency or the honor to apologize when his is flagrantly wrong.

I am proud that I haven’t watched his show since it bored me to tears years ago.
