I am not a hater of Sarah Palin. Even though I certainly wanted her and McCain to lose last year, I thought she got a bum rap by the press. I hate almost all of her policies but the attacks on her were directed sharply at her family and her intellence. I am someone who likes to see someone in the political arena who is not your typical Washington clone. (although maybe not as VP...). Sarah provided me with lots of laughs during the election, some intential, some not. I simply respected this woman as a hard working mother. Even though again, I would NEVER want her elected, seeing how some went after her kids was not pleasant to watch.
That being said...
Kudo's to David Letterman! Yes, without a doubt, the joke was in poor taste, really poor taste, but...when your on 4 or 5 nights a week for as many years as Letterman, that is bound to happen. But... Palin's reaction and comments about Letterman are just as bad or worse than the joke that began it all. For someone so outraged at his comments, she certainly jumped right into the mud with him. Sarah, I liked ya...not a lot, but a little but no more. Kathy Griffin summed you and your husband up quite nicely on DL the other night and I will leave it at that.
I am sure Letterman regrets his comments, they were in very bad taste, but Palin's subsequent comments are just as bad.

Leno is better
David Letterman's last, pathetic and desperate attempt at grabbing ratings and nothing more. He thinks he can pull what Leno pulled back in the 90's and get all the publicity from it and rise to the top.. well sorry Dave, you're not funny, never have been funny and this just shows an old man has-been trying to stay alive in a time when he's simply nothing more than a dinosaur.
Your days are over Dave, let it go with a little bit of dignity.
And there is, in no way, anywhere near the crassness, tastelessness and disrespect on the side of Sarah Palin's rebuttal in comparison to what Letterman said.
Imagine if someone had said Obama's girls went to the ball game with their slutty looking mother Michelle and they got knocked up while there and mom just laughed and said "Oh, those girls"..... do you think for one fleeting second that the press would have rolled over and taken that? NO. So in my opinion, David Letterman is a piece of crap and he finally revealed himself for what he really is. A mouthpiece for the liberal left and a true Obama brainwashed zombie for sure.
I hope it's his ruination and brings him down and we soon see him replaced with someone who is TRULY funny, and truly original.
This has been my opinion. If you don't like it, then your mother's a slut. So there.
God dude, and you like Kathy Griffin too......? Sheeshus. Your taste in comedic talent is way lacking.
Griffin's just a piece of trailer park lesbian trash herself..... and UGLY as walking fuck.
I feel for ya man and I no longer will frequent your blog. Not that you give a rat's ass one way or another. Consider yourself deleted.
I certainly care if someone leaves, but it is your choice. I LOVE Kathy Griffith and prefer Dave over Leno. I think Palin used Letterman to get herself back in the Headlines. I do not agree with his joke, it was in bad taste.
But...if this one post is going to have someone leave the blog cool.
LOVE your blog...but I think some of your "readers" should get a life. They're getting upset over your political comments (which aren't even that outrageous) in a blog about FAVORITE HUNKS! I mean REALLY. Your political views are not nearly as important as your "artistic" views in this case. However if you happen to make a statement that I don't agree with (and you have)...Its pretty easy for me to GET OVER IT. I know why I come to your blog and it sure ain't for politics. But maybe that's just me.
Personally, I like Conan more than Leno OR Letterman anyway.
