Palin: Letterman owes apology to young women

MSNBC ^ | 6-12-09 | Jerry DeMarco

I noticed that during the interview-video at link- Lauer seemed to be quite a bit more respectful toward Palin than I've seen him in the past. Watch the video, the more I see of Palin the more certain I become that she REALLY is The One!

[pollywog]

I think there needs to be a strong effort to remove Letterman. I’ve been searching the CBS site to find a address to write the “ top dog”!. Anyone want to link it here?

Maybe he should even consider the Admiral Boorda solution, since lieburrals seem to like death so much.

It's refreshing to see Conservatives challenging the State-run media. This trend must continue.

CBS’s Letterman is in competition with NBC’s MSNBC to find out which network can be the most crass, intolerant (i.e., Liberal) one. Liberals turn a blind eye to hate when they’re the ones projecting it.

Story has been posted already about how Sarah Baracuda cleaned Lauer’s clock (with the full video interview).

During the campaign, Gov. Obama said family is off limits,” Palin told Lauer. “The ‘candidate who must be obeyed’ adhered to that,” she said. “But they haven't done that on the other side of the ticket. So that's a political double standard.”

“Gov. Obama”

Typo? Hope Sarah didn’t actually call him that in the quote. (Can’t watch the video at work.)

[Paperdoll]

IMO Letterman should be banned from public airways permanently for his filthy mouth. I think Palin should sue to socks off him, to put it in a ladylike way, but, of course, she won’t do that. Never liked him. Now I know why.

[Genoa]

What? Did she really call Obama “governor”? And “the candidate who must be obeyed” sounds a little out of character for Sarah.

My only complaint with the interview is that Sarah seems to have left out the Ummmms and Ahhhs and Uhhhhs of a truly gifted orator like Obama.

[hoosiermama]

Direct quote from the inked article....Maybe they edited it....WHo is the “candidate that must be obeyed....bHo or McCane?

[Genoa]

Maybe they left out a comma. “The candidate, who must be obeyed, . . .” That removes the sarcasm.

Don’t waste your time calling. CBS will simply route you to a voice mail box that will never be attended to. In fact CBS wants you to contact them and get your frustrations out there rather than doing something truly effective.

If you want to seriously do something to get CBS’s attention to have Letteman clean up his act, contact an advertiser and voice your displeasure to them for supporting Letterman (a polite call or email to a female VP of marketing is your best bet) and then email a copy of the correspondence to the Cairman of CBS, Les Moonves at LMOONVES@CBS.COM (Putting financial pressure on the network was the only way to finally get Bill Mahr to be too radioactive for advertisers and get him removed off of network TV).

From what I can tell, there are a lot of women in high offices who control large advertising budgets and they are not pleased with Letterman. The advertising slots were bought and paid for a long time ago as a block of multiple shows and times so there can realistically be no immediate impact. Your contacting the advertisers however will give them the ammunition to their management to make the case that the negative impact of Letterman is not worth the cost when they buy the next blocks of advertising.

Furthermore share your tips on what’s working with your fellows.

Not just Gutterman but any writers or approvers of the “joke” need to get the heave-ho also

Disgusting beyond belief

I watched the video and thought she did a FANTASTIC job defending the importance of NOT slamming young women in depraved ways. I think she put Letterman to shame, without going overboard.

I loved....LOVED...her (with a sigh-lol) "if we must" comment when Mat, wanting to move rapidly from the pipeline discussion to the letterman crap, asked her if it would be ok to talk about the letterman issue. Tooooooooooo funny! She is gaining more and more savvy and less and less trust of the main stream media!

Wasn't it WONDERFUL when she brought up the double standard of the main stream media (NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and ABC-my words to clarify) by uhbama groupies in the press being willing to trash the children of opponents of uhbama with great abandon.

Yet they were only to willing to shut up about the kids of "he who must be obeyed" YES----she said this! "He who must be obeyed" tooooooooooo much, I LOVE HER! (Uhbama, uh.... said his..uh... family ....uh..uh..off..uh.. limits!)

Matt had NO COMMENT cause there was NOTHING he could say to disprove that FACT!!!! It was priceless.

PRICELESS!!!!!!

The candidate who must be obeyed is Obama.
