I believe all he meant was the fact that he was referring to the 18 year old troubled kid, not the 14 year old kid. His intent was to make a joke about the former, not the latter.

awakaman – You’re right.

Neither Leno or Letterman are big in the college community from what I can tell.

Letterman was still pretty big when I was in college. Tito and I are showing our age. It does not surprise me that college kids are not watching Letterman. Leno is for older folks, of course. (And he is terrible. Also more offensive.)

Besides, if the stoned kids can remember watching Jon Stewart the drunk ones can remember Letterman

The effects of alcohol and pot are different.

Letterman is obviously a moral giant — and the bigger person — compared to Sarah Palin.

He made a boorish crack. Went too far and caught some backlash. Apology (sincere or otherwise) is the end of it. He isn't losing any audience over this issue as any of us who would be angered by his garbage weren't likely to watch his show anyway. End of the day it’s a nothing. He made a boorish crack.

Good one awakaman :) I admire Sarah Palin's convictions. I am sure she was a good mayor and as far as I know, has been a good governor. Yes, she has a somewhat messy family life but so do a lot of good people. No family is perfect. But, that being said, I cannot believe she was really the best possible GOP veep candidate McCain could come up with, and it became painfully obvious to me during the campaign that she was in way over her head. I say that not to insult her intelligence or moral character, but as a simple statement of fact. And I do not think I am being a traitor to the pro-life or conservative cause to suggest this. “I know I’ll take my lumps on this website from the Palin fan club, but to you I say that I recommend that you spend some extra time in the confessional discussing the unhealthy amount of time you spend surfing the photos on the State of Alaska website.”
