Okay. I’ll watch the clips on YouTube late tonight or early tomorrow, and if he isn’t winking constantly or holding his fingers, crossed, behind his back, that will likely be the end of it for me as well.
Though I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to gin up much enthusiasm for his advertisers after this. Because I still think Letterman is a troubled, sexist prick. But he’s not the only one out there, and I’m more worried about Iran and the economy.
Though when his son decides to publish his memoirs about what a scumbag he is, I’ll probably buy it. Read it? No. Buy it? Yes.

Suck it up..
Keep the heat on.
I’m not happy until he is at least taken a ‘vacation’ for a couple of weeks.
I read the text. It’s more of the same wink, wink the audience will cheer and the fools will think I actually apologized.
The substance is based on the obvious lie that he though Palin was alone at the game. So it would be funny to make a joke about one of her daughters.
The tone is of a rationalization wrapped in a faux apology.
There’s a full paragraph there on how it’s not the “intent”, it’s the “perception” and it doesn’t matter that he was “misunderstood”.
Which tells me that he thinks we rubes out here in outrage land are too dim to properly grasp his form of humor.
“Apology. I don’t think that word means what you think it means.”
