Letter to the Editor: Letterman [Where's the sisterhood?]

Dear editor:

Calling all women. Where are you? Mr. David Letterman just unleashed a very cruel joke on one of our fellow sisters. I've been made to understand that any woman would never tolerate this ugly unjust treatment of any woman.

Sarah Palin's daughter was verbally attacked and abused by the thoughtless, unkind man. Where is your outrage? Is your lack of support because it is Sarah Palin? Why? She's a woman and I might add, a very pretty lady. Or do you consider her a dumb conservative right wing loon? I'm absolutely appalled at the lack of support and caring. What do you think her 14 year old daughter is learning about "The Sisterhood?"

Many women keep telling me, "We are not jealous of Sarah." We just think she's an absentee mother. Oh, please. Is it because she chooses life? Is it because she's a successful governor? Is it because she expresses her outrage about our present government? Is it because she believes and expresses her moral outrage about our values as Americans or does she make you and I feel a bit guilty?

I've always understood that since the 1960's that women would always be there to support other women no matter what.

If I ever need your support it looks as if I'll probably have to change my name to Hillary, get a college education, and become an elite Progressive liberal who speaks with a silver tongue.

No! I'd rather be a decent human being and try to help when and where I can.

"Say it ain't so Joe."

My sincerest apology to Governor Palin and to her family for all of the nasty things American women and men say. Especially your "sisters" whom I though had enough education and speak great English who have hurt you to your very core.

Sincerely,

Barbara Alson Smith

Warren

From NewsBusters.org, June 9, 2009...

Seven months after Election Day, and the attacks on Sarah Palin keep coming.

On Monday, CBS's David Letterman on the "Late Show" shamelessly went after the Alaska governor and her family during his opening monologue, as well as in his "Top Ten" list.

Top Ten Highlights Of Sarah Palin's Trip To New York

10. Visited New York landmarks she normally only sees from Alaska

9. Laughed at all the crazy-looking foreigners entering the U.N.

8. Made moose jerky on Rachael Ray

7. Keyed Tina Fey's car

6. After a wink and a nod, ended up with a kilo of crack

5. Made coat out of New York City rat pelts

4. Sat in for Kelly Ripa. Regis couldn't tell the difference.

3. Finally met one of those Jewish people Mel Gibson's always talking about

2. Bought makeup from Bloomingdale's to update her "slutty flight attendant" look

1. Especially enjoyed not appearing on Letterman

"One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game, during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked-up by Alex Rodriguez."

The irony of it all is that while we understand that Letterman apologized and Sarah Palin accepted his apology, it didn't change anything. Too many people still thought he was a washed up ass before this incident and his apology wasn't much of an apology either. He basically said that we were too stupid to understand his joke.

...and for that he was sorry? I'm sorry he's such an ass. :-) Really! I am! :-)

Hold on- tonight he just slammed Rush. Anyone catch it?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Who watches that fool? I'd rather stare at a test pattern or Dialing for dollars.

[Matthew Weaver]

I do not watch CBS and am boycotting its advertisers,. I see today that Olive Garden has dropped its advertising. Maybe others will follow.

[AlaskaErik]

The sisterhood is only outraged when a liberal is slighted.

[Misterioso]

Fellow sisters??

[missanne]

I missed it what did Letterman do to slam Rush!?

[mojo114]

I’m sorry I don’t remember. You can bring Dave’s show somewhere. First thing out on the show.
