Hot Air reports that David Letterman is once agin offering an apology for his tasteless and disgusting remarks about Sarah Palin and her fourteen year old daughter Willow. Allahpundit asks:
Does this mean the “Fire Letterman” protest tomorrow is canceled? Aw. While you ponder, here’s a related clip from today’s Cavuto reminding us once again that Fred Thompson is the luckiest man in the world. Exit question: What really motivated Letterman to do this? Sincere remorse? A cynical play for more ratings? Or the simple fact that he was starting to lose sponsors over it?
If I were to guess I would choose B and C. I doubt that remorse plays a major factor in Letterman’s life; he simply doesn’t strike me as being that self aware. On the other hand, as a rapidly aging ‘comedian’ I am sure he is very aware of his downward drift in the ratings and I would bet his bosses care about the loss of sponsorship. I’m just not buying his “aw shucks, I didn’t mean anything by it” routine. Letterman thought he was being funny and that’s just sad.
The transcript of apology is back at the Hot Air link, but first enjoy the video.
UPDATE: I have it on good authority, Robert Stacy McCain no less, that David Letterman has done pissed off the wrong lesbian. Cynthia Yockey has Letterman in her sights and she’s not quitting till the job is done. Good for you, Cynthia! I just read the post and you can bet I’m going to do my best to stay on Cynthia’s good side.

Was Letterman Ever Funny?
I was perusing NTC News when I came across a post by Moe Lane at RedState in the sidebar:
David Letterman jokes about Alex Rodriguez raping Willow Palin
What kind of sick son of a bitch jokes about a fourteen year old girl being raped? Was he not satisfied with calling Sarah Palin slutty? Who is this bastard’s target audience, child molesters between the ages of sixty and eighty? Obviously Letterman has no sense of shame or decency or he wouldn’t “joke” about the sexual abuse of a child privately; to publicly josh(?) about something so grotesque takes the term ‘pervert’ to a whole new level.
I agree with my friend El Campeador, Todd Palin should knock the smug of Letterman’s face and send it sailing straight up his donkey ass.
More reaction from Ace of Spades, Jim Treacher, Conservatives for Palin, Hot Air, Instapundit, Michelle Malkin, Gateway Pundit
