The remark was aired live, but CBS removed it from the transcript it makes available to media, including the New York Times, which publishes Letterman’s opening monologue on its blog site.

No one watches Letterman, so who cares?

NY Times Airbrushes Letterman's Willow Palin Sex Jokes From Their Website.

4:30- Some brain dead liberals do watch Letterman, and you are just hoping no one cares so his gutter remarks are kept under the national media radar. I do believe a lot of people care when an old gas bag thinks a public 'knock up' of a 14 year old girl is a funny joke. It indicates how mean and nasty liberals really are. The Democrats are the party that cares for the little guy? Now that is a funny joke!
Letterman is a old TV pedophile attacking a 14-year old girl with statutory rape jokes. Now, he comes back with he thought he was attacking an 18-year old teenager. How warped is that? CBS ought to fire him, but they are going down into the dumpster with Katie Couric already, and probably think one loser to replace at a time is difficult enough. I am going to write the sponsors of my disgust for attacking youngsters. How low can these reprobates go? It was one thing to attack a female governor with lies, but quite another to attack innocent children for sport.
One irrational liberal commenter remarked that Letterman’s is a late night program, and children should not be watching, so the Palin children are fair game. So I guess you can call Obama’s girls crack whores as long as it is in a late night program. Obama admits to drug use, so it might be in the girls DNA as well. Now isn’t that a funny joke for Letterman the creep to explore, and the even creepier audience to clap and stamp about?
One jokester wrote about how ugly Michelle Obooma is, and the liberal press came out in force about how mean that is. Now let’s think about this, someone with eyes thinks Bling-bling is ugly, and that opinion is attacked, but Letterman can wish rape on a teenager, and that opinion is just an opinion. Even hopeless liberals must see that this selected and suppressed news reporting is part of the reason journalists are no longer credible. Every so-called journalist that is now losing their jobs should look at their part in the death of newspapers. Unless journalism can clean up its act, I see no following online either.
Why doesn't he invite Todd Palin on the show?
I bet your ratings would double (for one night).
Oh, I forgot, can’t have any real men on that show.
Letterman has crossed the line of decency.

If you’ve ever watched the old movie, Teacher’s Pet, then you can see about when true journalism ended.
As the movie indicated, “man on the street” journalists were gradually eliminated and replaced by “journalists” who attended elite colleges.
Once the journalists were no longer “average Joe’s” and became elitist children of elitist colleges any and all ethics in journalism ceased to exist.

Todd Palin would clean the old geezers clock. The old lecher isn’t about to let that happen, chicken shit media pedophile that he is.
MOO Stan.

Letterman hasn't been funny since he moved from NBC to CBS. And lately, he's gone from "not funny" to "downright unpleasant". I hope Sarah Palin *never* goes on his show, if for no other reason than to deny him a ratings boost.
And it's hardly surprising that they have installed memory holes at CBS so that they can try to pretend that stuff like this never happened.
If Letterman were a "civilian" and obsessed like this over someone, we might have him arrested for stalking. But since he is a so-called "entertainer", it's OK for him to behave like this?
At the root of it all, here's what I want to know: What is with Letterman's Palin obsession? The election was 7 months ago. She's the governor of ALASKA, for crying out loud. Does Letterman obsess equally over the governors of Missouri, or Indiana, or Florida, or New York? No. So why is he fixated on Sarah Palin? Is he in LOVE with her? Or is it that his creative well has run dry and he just has to keep rehashing the same material over and over again? (Kind of like the Democratic Party does each time they CONTINUE to blame Bush for bad things that happen. It's kind of like the "two legs bad, four legs good" bleating of the sheep in Animal Farm.)
Again, this is the same David Letterman that thought that burning Sarah Palin's church down was funny.
This isn't comedy, it's sick hate mongering from another left wing bigot.
Revisionist reporting seems to be the new standard for the establishment media. purging everything they screwed up yesterday so you won't think it happened. Stalin was very good at that. Strange, wasn't Comrade Cowznafowski in that picture yesterday? Oops, sorry no such person as Comrade Cowsnafowski. Gothcha.
The TV audiences for these late-night shows is tiny by prime-time standards, so why do they get so much publicity? Nobody watches!
///Does Letterman obsess equally over the governors of Missouri, or Indiana, or Florida, or New York? No. So why is he fixated on Sarah Palin?///
Maybe because she's a dingbat who continues to demonstrate her dingbatness and who some far-right diehards think will deliver the White House to them in 2012?
10:37, the only dingbat is Biden who gets dumber by the day. Also, any Obamababoon voter as well.
"Maybe because she's a dingbat who continues to demonstrate her dingbatness and who some far-right diehards think will deliver the White House to them in 2012?"
So then Dims would prefer to run against a STRONG GOP candidate in 2012?
Nice logic.
Biden is such a dingbat that the media dare not report his stupidity on a daily basis. Gov. Palin sounds like a genius compared to Joe the blowhole Biden. The media always pitted Obooma against Palin instead of McCain. She was an easier target, but trying to belittle her intelligence while never questioning the student failure Obama really was, is biased reporting at its worst. Obama was an ACORN community organizer, Palin the governor of our largest state, and no liberals questioned the experience disparity. Now the dregs of the media are circling the drain. Too late to admit the truth now, a big and needed flush is not far away.

Nobody listens to Imus, but the media made a big deal and even Obama and Clinton thought he should be fired. Of course his statement was demeaning to blacks.

It would seem many people care about Letterman attacking a child. He has to go, he has allowed his hatred of a US governor to drag him into the gutter. There is no reason for him to continue his vendetta against a woman, unless he is just that sexist, and unhinged.
Letterman needs to go!
File a complaint with the FCC, it's easy to do.
Help rid us of David Letterman, please.
God forbid if someone had said this about Obama's daughters. If the comments had been made about Malia and Sasha, Letterman would have been fired on the spot, no questions asked. Why should Palin's daughter be treated any differently? When did it become ok to publicly slander a politician’s child, or anyone’s child for that matter? It's one thing to talk about the politician but something completely different to involve their family, especial children whether they are 14 years old or 18.
The extent that TV commentators have gone to defend this loser is amazing.

I don't think Don Imus will be referring to the Obama girls as nappy headed hoes...
Where is the outcry from Al Sharpton? Where is the indignation?
The double standards have once again appeared.
CBS , why don't you make a statement? You have stooped to an all time low. Fire him!
