Members of TeamSarah.org, that ever-growing national group of feisty supporters of Gov. Sarah Palin, have complained to the Federal Communications Commission about a joke David Letterman apparently made about Palin.

Complaining about a joke that someone "apparently" made is ridiculous. Either they made it or not, and if they didn't, then don't complain.

And if the joke was indeed that Dave and Paul were "aroused" by Palin -- well, they might as well complain about half the commentators in the nation and most of the red-blooded American guys on Free Republic.

This is pretty silly.

He did make the joke. And it was lame and dirty.

[redk]

With this dork it's different. He turns every current event into an excuse to bash Palin. The guy thought her church being torched was the height of hilarity. He deserves whatever happens to him.

Thank God someone else around here has some common sense.

Agreed. David Letterman is irrelevant. He’s a has-been who hasn’t been funny since the early 80s. Why get upset over him?

[Bunkasaurus]

The Sarah Fan Boys are a bit sensitive.
Pretty sure they picture themselves in tights rescuing her from the Dragon.

Thank you for pointing that out. She was surely ... ahem!... much "admired" here on FR during the campaign, "hot babe" that she is and all. Her looks were constantly commented on.

It's rather coy of "Team Sarah" to not come out and say which comment they're referring to, and the whole exercise in indignation is rather pathetically comical in itself.

I was watching the show (don’t ask me why-—it was just on). The “joke” clearly was of a sexual nature; Katie Couric was in the guest chair and was obviously uncomfortable (blushing and saying “no comment”).

Other broadcasters have been fined by the FCC for less.

The ‘apparently’ was a touch from the Drive-By Media.

They allegedly give a pass if it was a “tingle up my leg” emergency.
