To prolonged laughter and applause from his audience.
The girl is fourteen, you disgusting pig.

Here is a Link to complain to CBS…

Mr Lane: Please pass this around to all the Blogs. Lets swamp their servers.
Thanks
Trust me, it’s been spread around. I’m also getting the anonymous apologists – using fake emails, of course – so this is starting to percolate through.
Ummmm…..I think your over reacting.
No, Matt: over-reacting would be me driving to NYC to throw a brick through CBS’s most prominent plate glass window.
Do it, it will raise readership. That will not make the term ‘knocked up’ mean rape.
No, somebody has to clean that up, and that person probably doesn’t make jokes about people having sex with a fourteen year old girl on national television.
That shit ain’t right, and Letterman should know better, and I’m not going to give him a millimeter of slack on this.
I should note, by the way, that Matt expressly has not only the right, but pretty much the duty to tell me when he thinks I’m smoking crack.
Good to see this. And by the way, it should have been the reaction last September.
It’s safe to say Dave’s idol Johnny Carson wouldn’t stoop to garbage like this. That, if nothing else should make him feel ashamed, but of course, it won’t.
Loser.
Has anyone checked Letterman’s pc for kiddie porn? Because a guy who so easily jokes about raping 14 year olds just might get off on watching the rape of 14 year olds.
And how come Don Imus got fired for “nappy headed hos” but Letterman’s job is safe?
“That will not make the term ‘knocked up’ mean rape.”
I doubt Letterman was calling for an Immaculate Conception, and the girl he was referring to is underage.
But you just keep working on defending the indefensible, ‘K?
Please mind your tone when talking to the guy who was best man at my wedding, Rob. He’s disagreeing in good faith.
Matt, when the girl in question is 14, “knocked up” absolutely means “rape. It doesn’t happen any other way short of divine intervention.
I want to suggest a thought exercise. Imagine that Rush Limbaugh had made a joke about a famous athlete impregnating Sasha or Malia while the Obamas were in France on vacation. If you read some Rush apologist making the same argument you did, would you have accepted it? I’m not accusing you of bad faith; just asking you to think it through for a minute.
Rob Crawford: Immaculate Conception refers to the Blessed Mother being born without sin. Most Catholics don’t even know what this means. But I will ask you to refrain from injecting the Blessed Mother into your criticism of Letterman who is depraved.
CBS Got this from me:
David Lettermans abhorent jokes regarding Gov. Sarah Palin and her 14 yr old daughter have lost your netwrok yet another viewr for ANY AND ALL material and source.
Rather than watch another minute of CBS just to determine which sponsor to complain to, I will rely on other sources.
CBS has been set as a locked channel on all 3 cable boxes on the house. No member of the Morris family will be entertained or miled by any CBS program. I have shared Internet clips of this vulgarity with my neighbors who are equally disgusted.
Furious and gone!
