You’re right. We should raise the discussion to the same level of discourse used by the liberals when discussing Palin, Cheney or “W.”
Generally they lie and spread unsubstantiated rumors, which MSM repeats.
Letterman did have some nasty things to say, and Tina Fey mocked Palin unmercifully, but I think even that did not sink to this level.
I do like the fact that it has the dems steaming, though, and for that I think it’s worth it.
