Supporters of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will rally Tuesday in front of New York’s Ed Sullivan Theater in their efforts to oust David Letterman from The Late Show for a recent joke he made about Palin’s daughter.

The group, Fire David Letterman, includes Anne Barone, a former member of Democrats for McCain, conservative documentary filmmaker John Ziegler and New York State Assemblyman Brian Kolb, who has already written a letterto CBS Chief Executive Les Moonves asking him to fire Letterman.

Palin and her supporters have harshly rebuked the late night comic—who later apologized—for a joke he made about the governor’s recent trip to a Yankees game when “during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.” Palin was accompanied by her 14-year-old daughter Willow. Palin’s 18-year-old daughter Bristol gave birth to a son earlier this year and has since become an abstinence advocate.

I, for one, think the joke wasn't funny but it was still just a joke. It did not impregnate or kill anyone. So what does everyone else think? Should Letterman be drawn and quartered or let keep his job?

Jeez, I am a Palin supporter, and I can laugh at a friggin joke! It may have been in poor taste, but the guy appologized on his own show, of his own accord. Letterman makes fun of people for a living; he is bound to cross the line every now and then.

It's a joke. Palin needs to grow thicker skin that that if she thinks she can hack it in politics.

I think the situation is being used as a GOP publicity stunt

It's a joke. It was in very poor taste, but it's still a joke.

People still talk about her, I thought she would've gone back to her Frozen hole by now

If this were a popularity contest, i'd suggest Palin stick with picking fights with other Alaskans.
She is killing a dead horse, and yet some pundits have pronounced that
"Palin is finally figuring out how to use the media". She must not be too bad, i've not heard anything
about 'troopergate' for awhile now. . .

Talk to Don Imus about jokes... I don't want Letterman fired, it was a bad joke in bad taste, but nothing to be fired over. It just would be nice if CBS was consistent.

actually Letterman was talking about Palins 14 year old daughter. Since it was her that was at the game.

Maybe when you grow up and have kids, you will not be so understanding when someone talks about fucking your daughter. You might find yourself alittle protective.

then again, maybe you won't.

It was the 18 year old who got knocked up and then 'became an abstinence advocate'. That's what I find amusing.

How very unAmerican of you Mr. Anti Free Speech. Grow a thicker skin yourself. Lots of people say lots of bad shit about lots of people all over the world, people need to get over 'how nasty people can be' and get over it. Or get therapy. They're just words at the end of the day, to be ignored or taken on board if you really must waste your time thinking about what some comedian says about you or your family.

Obama's eldest daughter likes it in the ass. That make you feel better?

you would think Cam would be more understanding. this girl faces her responsibility head on and does the right thing. Nobody's tax dollars are raising her kid, the family is doing it together. I guess tolerance and understanding is only for those that launch rockets into Israel.

So it's cool to call Obamas kids names and say his wife has the build of a lesbian bodybuilder...? Just checking
Sarah Palin isn't worried about what David Letterman(has been) has to say about her... She is concerned that he is able to make a joke about a pro baseball player having sex with either of her daughters...
If he made a joke about my niece like that i would punch him in his fucking face... I hope you all would be just as angry regardless of
your political leanings...

What are the odds that her 'newly abstinent' daughter isn't fucking the father of her child? Probably about zero. This is political theatre and guff. I could be wrong of course.

Tolerance and understanding? I'm sure she's had a hard time and has had to cope with a lot of stress at a young age and I understand that, but then she does have a mega-wealthy family to see her through those dark times. Unlike a great many other children in this world.

Yes, I would be pissed, but I wouldn't be calling for him to get fired. Not that it will happen, anyway. David Letterman OWNS the production company that produces his show. The only way to get him fired is to get the Network to ditch him, and that is not likely to happen.

So, I am guessing that no one here even cares that he admitted the joke was in bad taste, and that he appologized for it last week?

My point being that I find her 'stance' smacks of mother-driven political theatre. And of course I could be wrong but I know that most politicians deserve as much respect and 'benefit of the doubt' as repeat-offending child molesters.
