Letterman...

[Henry Hawk]

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?"

never heard about any gorilla jokes....nor is this topic about Michelle Obama.....It is about a 62 year old 'comedian'....making sex jokes about a 14 year old girl.

nor will we have to worry about your political aspirations.....

Not with the skeletons in my closet you won't!

let me rephrase...I never heard of it until you posted it.

Precisely! Hence the difference in class shown by the response or lack thereof.

THAT has NOTHING to do with it..............Palin can't fart without the media being there to say how bad it stunk...if anything the lack of class has everything to do with the media...not Palin.

all Palin did was respond.......the media is the one having the hay day with this ..... them and the womem groups who are calling for letterman to be fired........hence that is why letterman even decided to apologies........

the bottom line is letterman screwed up.....not palin.

The joke was in extremely poor taste, as many jokes are, and Letterman should have been clear about which daughter he was talking about.

At the same time, Palin brought this on herself. She painted herself as a god-fearing moralistic fundamentalist... and then pretty much turned the campaign into an episode of Mary Hartman Mary Hartman.

First she paraded the pregnant daughter around on the campaign trail, putting her own pregnant daughter in the spotlight with the boyfriend who was suppose to be by her side but not marry her yet... And then later, when Bristol and the boyfriend were both interviewed, and their own comments defied Sarah's stances... The boyfriend was history.

And then Sarah makes the situation even more ridiculous, with her "dirty old man" and "rape" comments.

Damn...better mark the calendar again!

It's ironic that Palin is now suddenly beating the exploitation drum since she seems to have not had a problem with it in the past:

letterman SCREWED UP........Palin didn't do anything wrong.....and that really bothers those on the left....and I find it all amusing.

Doesn't bother me at all...I still think Letterman's joke was funny and I still think Palin's a skank-whore.

It was a joke for crying out loud. Public figures are subjected to them all of the time. The bimbo needs to get over herself and STFU. If she's not trying to be an attention whore what is she trying to achieve here?

"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."
