Sort of like how Bristol Palin, teenage and unmarried, was knocked up by the Lothario of Wasilla. The remark was perhaps tasteless and inappropriate,but to compare it to a joke about a five year old being raped is just beyond comprehension.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684585771504918945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-707992561843166192009-06-17T10:10:47.979-04:002009-06-17T10:10:47.979-04:00I think the difference between Antoine's ad li...I think the difference between Antoine's ad lib and Imus's is that evidently Letterman's was scripted. Ad libs arise from the unconscious mind and humor usually pushes the edges of the acceptable to be funny. For those who ad lib the censor sometimes fails to kick in. But unless I read it incorrectly Letterman says he checked with staffers before he told the joke? I don't know if Letterman's monologues are scripted, and I don't even know if the joke was part of the monologue, but I have always thought them to be scripted. If it was an ad lib then Letterman took a shot at two tall poppies and missed and hit a kid. Two kids actually.lgudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774491337993415578noreply@blogger.com
