UPDATE by RAM: The following statements were issued by Gov. Palin and Alaska's First Gentleman about Letterman's treatment of their 14-year-old daughter:
"Any 'jokes' about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too."
- Todd Palin
"Concerning Letterman's comments about my young daughter (and I doubt he'd ever dare make such comments about anyone else's daughter): 'Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/NY entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands - that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone's daughter, contribute to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.'"
- Governor Sarah Palin

“There are three people who are my friend. The person who loves me, the
person who hates me, and the person who is indifferent to me. The
person who loves me teaches me tenderness. The person who hates me
teaches me caution. And the person who is indifferent to me teaches me
self-reliance.”
— Dinger
That is pretty good....:O)
But, I'm sure Dave knows show business better than me. That is why he is rich and famous.
Emailed everyone on your list.
“Emailed everyone on your list.”
I read somewhere that FR now has 300,000 members...if we all did that...
Letterman made another sex 'crack' about Willion Palin. Calling it a joke implies it was funny.
“Letterman had a long-term relationship with former head writer and producer on Late Night, Merrill Markoe. In fact, Markoe was the mind behind several Late Night staples, such as “Stupid Pet/Human Tricks”.”
When they broke up, he stopped being funny...
what would really be good is if we were able to get someone in every night and just boo everything he says.
I think Sarah and Todd’s responses were just perfect. They didn’t sound like loud, angry parents. There was certainly an edge to their comments, but they also made the larger point about just how out of touch popular entertainment is with the average person in this country.
I’m still waiting for John McCain and his dumbass daughter to denounce Letterman’s comments.
Don’t hold your breath.
Well the only cajones in DC seem to go with the Cheneys .. the VP/Lynn and Liz.
You can say that again...did you see Liz on Larry King tonight? She was amazing as usual.
I dropped cable a few months ago ... couldn’t justify paying all that money to watch BHO/Nancy and their syncophants in the media. Even Fox was making me sick. Life has been so peaceful since. (come football season, I may have to reconsider).
