-there are a significant number of women who were abused as young girls.......this is another one of those issues best left alone. Much like the Down’s Syndrome baby. It was crude and pointless. The only purpose was to slam the Palins....as that is what happened and all anyone will remember — “those Alaskans......not like us, did you hear? Incest. Psst, pass it on....” — I doubt the charge will stick against the NYTimes at all. It should, but it won't. I just don't watch that tripe.

I think most comedians DO leave this issue alone. Palin's daughter, Bristol, has had so many allegations planted out there across the internet. Now, SNL, uses her in a skit to supposedly make fun of the ridiculousness of these allegations. But Bristol is still the means of the joke.

“The only purpose was to slam the Palins”

Hey there!

When I watched it, I got the opposite impression.

And I think many people aren’t aware that this talk about incest has been going on for awhile now thanks to the Dailykos and DU websites.

Ever since Palin was announced, there has been a daily barrage of whacko unsubstantiated rumours coming from these garbage sites. littlegreenfootballs sometimes chronicles the worse of the worst.
Then “serious” reporters like Olbermann and the NY Times gang pretends these rumours are “news”.

It got so ridiculous that Steve Schmidt reported the McCain team was getting demands from reporters for a dna test.

We had a fellow freeper who has his own humor blog run a similar type of satire on these whackos. It was posted here and no one was outraged.

The SNL skit made the same point - and now there’s outrage.
