I think the apology shows that Letterman has more class than the Palin supporters who are making fools of themselves. To me, the joke wasn’t even all that good because it wasn’t very original. Let’s face it: 10,000 people were thinking it (A-Roid’s sleeping around is no secret) but Letterman just was the one who said it.

Both Letterman and Palin benefited from the controversy, and let’s face it, both of them knew what they were doing. Palin needs to keep her name in the news. Letterman’s ratings are up. Neither of them are crying right now. The only losers are the 36 people who showed up at the “Fire Letterman” rally and proclaimed to the world they have nothing better to do.

A-rod wasn’t the one whining and moaning like Sarah “my 15 minutes are OVER” Palin so no apology to Alex was necessary. I don’t mind the apology that Letterman was forced to make. It’s the whining and “OMG I’m offended” crap that ticks me off. It shows that Sarah and her supporters are so desperate for attention that they’d grasp at straws like this to get it. When I first heard about the story, I gave it a big “so what?”. Sarah should have done the same.

It’s sort of making fun of the fact that Alex Rodriguez will jump on anything that moves and is female (or, quasi-female, according to some reports). However, A-Rod wasn’t even mentioned in the apology! I’d feel bad for him, but I – like most right-thinking individuals – dislike him slightly for reasons I can’t fully explain.
