And there is nothing wrong with not getting the joke, or thinking it was over the line.

That's fine, I personally don't think it was that funny, he could have gone without that one. But the media and everybody else should not make this into a big deal.

Nobody goes to Michael Jackson's aid when they made all the jokes about him. I'm just irrated of the general demeanor of the public and sensationalist stories.

OH?

I don't know why but that made me laugh.

I feel sorry for all of us, tothetenthpower,

This is a sad day when we are debating the right or wrong, of the attacking an innocent child on prime time TV.

Here's the thing, it isn't really about the kid, he hates what the mother stands for.

This is his platform.

sadly, heh, I get David Letterman's jokes. Heh. That's a weakness in me that my wife often rails against. No. Not Letterman's jokes, but my ability to enjoy them and make my own jokes like his. lol.
Okay. Sarah Palin jokes are on the table. She entered the discussion. No longer just a bystander, she became a national, yes, international player. Nobody is off limits for such stuff. Her daughter however? Um.........while I wouldn't personally make a joke about her, heh, like this,...ummmmmmmmm, I'd do her. Heh. Yeah, off limits. Except she entered into the spotlight by her appearance on TV speaking out for abstinance. She's now a player. She is fair game. And so is her baby daddy, cuz he entered the spotlight. If a parent brings up a child into the national converastion, I am pretty much set on ignoring the child. Just to not be a prick. And, yes, I know people will bring up other people's children, like when Cheney was in an debate. I found all to be despicable.
But when said child enters into the fray on their own, then, no holds barred.

However, why did Letterman even think he needed to bring up Sarah Palin now? Or her offspring? Surely he can find enough material concerning the present government figures, Eh? Jay Leno's writers can find it, why can't Letterman's writers find such things? Oh, that's right. Agenda!!!!!

Well ofcourse she's not a slut, she made a mistake, but people are going to laugh at her expense. Even if she wasn't famous there is somebody in Alaska making fun of her right now.

It is sad isn't it?

She must be a pretty strong young women.

I'm not defending Letterman, I'm defending his right to say whatever he wants, and not have it blown out of proportion because of prudes.

Well go right ahead.

I have been called many things, but prude has never been one of them. This was an uncalled for attack that wasn't funny. It shouldn't be defended and I would say that he should apologize, but it wouldn't be a real apology.

I am still at a loss for the reason you are posting in this thread if you really don't care for the guy or what he says.

They hated her becaue she was not some brainwashed elitist. She was a well educated, plain spoken mother with a special needs child. She is attractive, without trying to be sexy or slutt. Basically she's the mom next door, who has conservative values, believes in fiscal responisbility, and does her job to the best of her ability.
I also believe the extreme left hated her because of Christian beleifs. And her daughter is not the first to be raised in a loving Christian home and get pregnant. It happens.
I am sick and tired of David Letterman and Bill Mahr taking potshots at the Govenor's daughter. The govenor is fair game, she's a public figure. But the children (and in my opinion, the spouse) is off limits.
I would challenge either one of these idiots to sit down and talk one on one with her, and then air it unedited. I daresay they would both be shamed but their performance against her.
