Funny!
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

BTW ... where is the "conservative" press on this one ...

Rusty DePass, a GOP activist and former chairman of his state's elections commission, wrote of the First Lady Michelle Obama on Facebook this weekend.

First, an aide to state Attorney General Henry McMaster had authored a Facebook post about the escape of a gorilla from Riverbanks Zoo Friday. DePass then posted the following response on Facebook: "I'm sure it's just one of Michelle's ancestors - probably harmless".

The funniest joke Letterman made didn't get much press ...

[Palin] "bought make-up at Bloomingdales's to update her slutty flight attendant look"

because HE made a poor joke?........that he even admits to?

Letterman made an ass of himself.......and he is trying to smooth it over.

Sandy how would you feel if someone made a joke on national TV about YOUR daughter getting knocked up?

Would you laugh and move on, or would you call him out on it?

Why does she wait until now? If you read the article I posted you would see that this has been going on for a long time.

On Sept. 2, during the presidential campaign, Leno, for example, told this joke on "The Tonight Show": "Governor 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."

On Oct. 10, O'Brien, then host of "Late Night," quipped: "Sarah Palin is going to drop the first puck at the Philadelphia Flyers hockey game. Then Palin will spend the rest of the game trying to keep the hockey players out of her daughter's penalty box."

"Saturday Night Live" has also parodied the Palin family in questionable ways. In a skit last September, a mock reporter joked about incest in the vice presidential candidate's family, saying, "I mean, come on. It's Alaska!"

Palin not only didn't protest, she appeared as a guest on the program a few weeks later.

Is this why she is so upset now?

"A more cynical view may be that Palin had more than enough media attention last fall, and that her Letterman broadside was designed to renew attention when the spotlight is dimming. Palin may even have been aware of a Gallup poll released last week showing that she attracted less than 1 percent of Republicans who were asked to name the "main person who speaks for the Republican Party today."

I really don't know WHY she didn't get pissed at the other...

the question is, did letterman screw up?........did he cross the line.......?

I think he did.........but, he is also possibly a little desperate to keep up his ratings because of the new Conan O'brien hitting the scene...

and Palin has every right in the world to swing back.....I know that I would.

If my daughter was knocked up and I put my political aspirations ahead of my family, I would deserve it.

I pretty sure we won't have to ever worry about that problem....

Maybe he did. But the true class shows in the differing responses.

Did Michelle Obama go kicking and screaming to the media about the Rusty DePass gorilla "joke?"

No, we won't because my daughter is an adult and she didn't get knocked up in high school.
