Posted on September 4, 2010 at 9:44amBristol has chosen to be a public figure, now that she’s going on a TV show. She’s now fair game for jokes.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 2:39pmI really like Jay, but the question is would have taken such a cheap shot at a Hollywood starlet in a similar situation. I think not.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 9:38amTruth: If it wasn’t for her mom Sarah Palin, Bristol would just be another single mother trying to get by like everyone else. She is going to have to put up with the crap in order to be in the limelight. I‘m sure she wouldn’t trade the opportunity of fame for no scrutiny or criticism.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 9:19amWhy is this young woman in the spotlight anyway. Is her claim to fame that she was born to Sarah Palin? She needs to get a regular job, one she is qualified for, raise her child and go on about her life. She puts herself out there to be used for a few dollars. She should have more respect for herself and her family.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 5:31pmYou have to be “qualified” to be on DWTS? I’ve always called it, “Dancing with the Has Beens and Wannabes”. Bristol has just as much right to be there as anyone else. And if it helps her support her son, she should go for it.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 7:00pmI agree wholeheartedly – she puts herself out there and then everybody complains about how she is treated. When are we going to get it???

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 9:16amI think the audience gasp and than booing tells the whole story. It was a bad comment that Jay immediately knew crossed the line. He apologized, because he knew he was better than that. The problem is that Letterman can make a comment like that, and not care. And instead of apologizing like Jay did, he will try to create a ratings bonanza out of it.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 9:04amGood Gravy People! It was a joke…get over yourselves. Liberals are the ones who get offended at everything! We are stronger than that…learn to laugh at yourselves! We all make mistakes, if we make a public one…well…you gotta deal with the pokes, jabs, and jokes you get! Don’t teach our kids to be wimpy, whiny brats; crying every time someone makes fun of them…laugh and do right! Do right, do right!

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 8:47amIt was a joke, (in poor taste, but. . .) he said it to her face, which is better than most people get from the late night crowd. She made a mistake in the past and he went with the joke. Was it wrong? probably not, would he have done that to a progressive sitting there with him? Probably not, but at least he was respectful enough to apologize afterward when he saw that she did not think it was funny.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 8:12amWHY IS BRISTOL PALIN IN THE PUBLIC EYE. SHE IS A NOBODY. ANYTIME THE MEDIA PUTS here out there. it is only to hopefully embarrass Sarah Palin somehow. Bristol you are famous because your mother is a great and wonderful person. Your biggest accomplishment in life is attempting to ruin your life with a young moron man. Please go away. Let the spotlight continue to shine on your Mom. It is your Mom who is the great person, you are nobody. Please go away for a while…. We’ll see you again, after your Mom and Dad move into the White House!

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 11:53amWhat is the standard by which somebody becomes a nobody? Or a nobody becomes a somebody? And who gets to decide?
Bristol had a choice to make. Confront her challenges in life or run from them. She seems to be doing just fine. I’d say she is a stark contrast to Levi Johnston. He’s on the Jersey Shore path of life. Bristol on another. It’s good for the public to see that contrast. I would have zero respect for Bristol if she were behaving the same as Johnston.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 7:36amLeno’s ratings are low for good reason. He is a blatantly biased liberal in line with his NBC employers, and we are sick and tired of the constant conservative bashing. Leno needs to retire and go tinker with the cars in his garage.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 9:18amI’ve always liked Jay and thought overall he was the most fair between he and Letterman. He doesn’t seem to have a problem poking fun at the left when necessary. Plus he isn’t overtly political like Letterman is.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 1:22pmI agree, Jaimo. He is the most balanced, now. That wasn’t the case during the elections. Every night the same old jokes: Hillary’s in the race too long, McCain is old, Bush is stupid. The only time he mentioned Obama was to set up a joke against someone else. I like Jay, but it got too unbalanced. He’s better, now, but kids should always be off limits. Period. No matter what.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 10:15amAgreed (about Letterman). And Bristol had to know something like that would pop up if she makes that kind of appearance. It‘s a burden she’ll have to carry for a while as there will always be insensitive people around to make your mistakes come front and center.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 10:26pmI wish ALL of you would STOP referring to her son as a “mistake” It was the choice of father that was the mistake, not that previous baby. Obama wouldn’t punish his daughters with a baby, off they’d go to the abortionist on your tax dollar.
