Palin v. Letterman: Is she still mad? You betcha

... and out of line -- and I'm a liberal Democrat who thinks Palin was way out of her depth as mayor of Wasilla.

There are so many other ways to have a chuckle about Palin. No one watches Letterman anyway. But Sarah Palin does love her a good dust-up as do her devoted followers, so why give her another excuse to put herself in front of the cameras? I fault Letterman because 1) he wasn't funny, and 2) he should leave the kids alone, and 3)he gave Palin another crack at the "media" and play the victim.

It's not too hard to separate the posters with children, especially girls, from those with out them. Anyone with children, especially daughters, should be outraged by Letterman's comment. Plain and simple.

This isn't a rift between Ds & Rs, except for non-child bearing posters, because that's all they have.

Palin should be supported on this issue by all parents regardless of politics.

so funny. You say I blubber when I talk about Obama - doesn't hold a candle to you blubbering over Sarah.

Letterman is a late night comic - his joke was routine fare for shows of that nature. I have a daughter and a granddaughter and he didn't offend me and I have fought for women's rights for years. Sarah sets herself up time and time again for the jokes and she loves every single bit of it because it keeps her in the limelight. As the celebrities in California say: You can avoid the limelight if you really want to but when you go to the Ivy for lunch, then we all know you are wanting the media to flash the bulbs. Some of the most beloved and highest quality Hollywood stars know how to avoid the media and Sarah knows how too but as I have said she loves looking at the returns each evening, the ones with her in them that is.

I knew you were a phony a long time ago, with your grandiose, support this and that. When something is too good to be true it usually is -- that's you Panda.

Because if you're really that awesome of a person like you keep telling us you are, Letterman should outrage you.

By the way, Panda, if Letterman had said that about Obama's daughters? I'd still be calling Letterman a pervert.

Would you?

A person who thinks rape of a 14 year old child is a sick SOB . This little girl never did one thing too you pervert .

I believe Letterman has more respect for Obama and probably wouldn't do that to him but who knows with the comics, you get surprises. I also liked Wanda Sykes at the Press Club dinner but I am sure you were offended. You are getting awfully pious in your old age, Jeetz, but can still spew the crud from your mouth as we all know on this site.

You know you love your attention - just like Sarah.......

First, I think Todd Palin should take him up on his offer to be on the show. Then Letterman can look into the eyes of the Father of the 14 year old girl that he made sexual jokes about. I am not condoning violence, but I wouldn't hold it against Todd if he pulled a Jerry Lawler and Andy Kaufman on Dave. But he could probably just "should flinch" at that pansy and make him wet his pants.
Second, CBS fired Don Imus for less. What will they do to Letterman?
For any lib willing to answer. Did Imus deserve to be fired? If so, then so does Letterman.

I have had a busy week and haven't taken the time to watch the Letterman clip yet. Might not watch it at all since I am sick to death of Sarah and her poutrage and I rarely watch Letterman anymore. Don't really want to give either of them any of my attention.

I find it sad that a comedian's comment on a late night talk show gets this much attention while much more important issues need our focus. And what will change? Sarah will continue to act a fool and Letterman will continue to be politically incorrect. It's what they both do to stay in the limelight.

Imus eventually got his job back so what difference did it make to fire him?

I also think Letterman has way too much power for CBS to even consider firing him so that is a silly topic as well. And who doesn't think millions more tuned in to watch him this week? I am also willing to bet Sarah's ratings went up.

So they both gained from this little spat and we all lost brain cells discussing it.

he spews on the air waves and what about the people who hang onto his every word? I harangue on loss of moral values all the time and it seems we all are guilty of it in one way or other these days.

But to me Sarah Palin opens herself and her family up to ridicule and has done so since Day 1. I can hear her but can't quite feel for her. Same way with Paris Hilton - what does that woman have going for her other than to know how to get the media attention and dollars from the stupid people who take the time to give to her.

Is this the most important political issue for Palin to base her next Presidnetial run on?

Now if we are talking about impregnating Sarah, i'll fight you other bastards to be first in line!

hahahahaha!

Too funny. But gawd would I love to see that. Can you imagine the audience Letterman would get if Todd Palin walked onto his set as a guest. This might be worse than live waterboarding.

For certain all of Alaska would be watching and I imagine the rest of the country would be tuned in, too. Friday night fights, yowsa.

Damn, just realized it would probably end up pay-per-view. And Letterman's wife would probably be home checking out the pre-nupt for a loophole.

"Made ya flinch!" Gawd, that made laugh. Thanks Craig.

It was mean and out of line, but come on. The Pitt bull prefers talking family drama over real politics anyway.

The joke genuinely pissed Palin off, but only because it hit close to home (how dare you mock my daughter for getting knocked up - she kept the baby). Letterman wasn't joking about the 14 year old, he was joking about the out-of-wedlock birth and mocking A-Rod for being a hound.

It's always something with the crazy family from Alaska. At least the Palin's have replaced the need for Jerry Springer.

Palin it tough as nails did the snowmobile iditarod with a broken arm . Letterman would loose his bodily function at the sight of him .

need an old sock?

just another weakling liberal comment .

all these open minded, tolerant, modren liberals finding humor in a joke about the sexual assault of a girl who's only fault is they hate her mom.

Then you make fun of the *Palins* being back-woods folks?

Classy.

Of course, our good rightwing friends are always vigilante over jokes about Palin's daugher.

You all remember their outrage when Jay Leno told the following:

Gov. Palin announced over the weekend that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant. And you thought John Edwards was in trouble before! Now he has really done it. -- "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," 9/2/08
***

I don't but I'm sure they will remind us of the exchange the Palins had with Leno over this.

When Imus made his ignorant comments, some good actually came from it. It opened up conversations between rap producers and prominent African Americans about the degredation of women in rap music.
I have an idea. The Palins should agree to go on Letterman, but only if the revenue goes towards the Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

It would be funnier if she did so on Conan. :)

Seriously, it's time to stop mocking girls and women as promiscuous. What did Bristol Palin do? She had sex with her boyfriend. Like millions of other 17-year-old girls. For some reason Bristol is having to deal with a level of public shaming that other girls don't, and that her partner in "crime", Levi, does not. It's infuriating. And now that she realizes that being a single parent at 18 royally sucks, she wants to help other teens not to make the same mistakes she did. I think that's noble, although probably ineffective.

Drum, if I had known at the time that Leno had made that joke I would have been livid with him too. People make so many sexist cracks it does sometimes seem pointless now to go back and be angry about it. But it's not right and it's not healthy. It's time to stop worrying about who said what to whom last year, five years ago, twenty years ago, and just say it's time to stop NOW.

This episode has been the last straw and I'm so mad I'm actually making phone calls and sending letters and emails. I'm even rethinking the propriety of making slut jokes about Paris and Britney. So I'm getting involved and it seems like others are too. Maybe that's the key to making some change in our society's craptastic attitude toward women and girls.

You are so unraveled this evening, you put this post on a thread from two weeks ago. I brought you over here so wouldn't look so stupid.

Are you OK Taco Freud? Are you having a meltdown?

Mrs. Taco Freud didn't leave you for her boyfriend, did she? Your anger would make more sense if she did.

All of your posts since early last week have been like the following that you produced this evening.

Then if you're an adult male, justme, why don't you go out and knock up a seventeen year-old.
Then go to the police and share that with them. Come back and tell me what you found out.
=====================
You are not just a weird old man, you are a disturbed old man.

But, you are now the moral police?

It was an opinion, Taco boy. And like spincters, everyone has one. But this is clearly fishing on your part. I own you, enchilada, and you just don't know how to ease out of it. I'm just gonna keep squeezing you.

Now go see if you can find another conspiracy like your Dan Beyer idiocy. (smile)
