Thanks - someone who understands. ....
I'm more than old enough to be her father and I'm a dad, not a mom, but I just can't stand the thought of how much suffering that poor 14 year old girl - or her sister, for that matter - are going through.
Letterman makes a mockery of half-apologizing. Right this minute, on MSNBC, Arianna Huffington and some lib idiot guy are blaming SARAH for putting her daughter out in public while at the same time defending Letterman saying that clearly he didn't mean the 14 year old (although he mentioned her by name) and that somehow an *18* year old girl is "fair game" including, I guess, jokes that she is a whore for Eliot Spitzer's enjoyment and a slut (like her mom, from a different "joke") having sex with a professional baseball player during a public game.
The level of absolute filth and depravity of the soul this shows about these people and their ideologically-driven apologists is incomprehensible. Even highly flawed narcissists wouldn't stoop so low. But these people do.
We should *not* let up on this and allow it to be railroaded by the old and disingenuous "it's a joke" canard. This stinks to the max. It is a biased and appalling attack on the Palin family and excuses behavior that I do not believe belongs in any society much less the public airwaves.
