Good link, and some very interesting tid bits there. :thumbsup: One of my favs :

Days after the announcement of Bristol's pregnancy, Conan O'Brien joked, "It's true, John McCain's running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, has revealed that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. Palin said, 'We should never have introduced her to John Edwards.'"

:laugh: Hypocrisy drenched opportunism FTW!

Hey.. the democrats didn't say anything about the Iraq war before it started either. Does that make it OK then to you? What he said is either RIGHT or WRONG.. and what Sarah Palin has said or objected to in the past has absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

You're OK with selective outrage. Gotcha. I'd expect no less from you.

And bonus points for me: You're wrong about democrats not objecting to the Iraq War. Plenty of them did.

Don't you ever grow tired of being wrong all the time? :laugh:

That's just it. Palin isn't "our elected official" unless your from Alaska so get off your moral superiority kick.

Don't be obtuse. Moral superiority? Puh-lease. You making no sense whatsoever. Palin was running for second in command of this country, and was incensed that she was subject to the same media scrutiny and vetting that other nominees are. It was the first go around for her and the "double standard" horseh!t she continually whines about. "Gotcha politics" anyone? The woman is dumber than a bag of hammers, how about you get over yourself and just deal with it?

Letterman is a dickwad and he needs to make a sincere apology.

Looks like you're still not paying attention. Guess your kind is too busy throwing a pity party and trying to make political hay from it all. Nevermind that Letterman issued his first apology to the Palins a scant 3.5 hours after the joke was made. Nevermind that he's made repeated apologies and explained himself in a rational and believable manner, admitting fault and regret, and taking time to bash himself over it. But I won't enter into the fray of debating what constitutes "sincere" in your book, or his - it really doesn't matter. You don't like him, fine, we get it, don't watch his show. Beyond that, you're exemplifying the 'making of mountains from molehills' you were just complaining about.

If the best you can do is to tell me to not watch Letterman then I guess my work here is done.

====================================================
I doubt even God can help Sarah Palin if her 14 year old end up knocked up and unmarried before the age of 19.

If Palin's daughter would have aborted her child Letterman would be praising her as a hero. The left isn't happy unless they are destroying those who disagree with them. Is someone harms one of Palin's children is David responsible for it? His hatred may incite some to violence.

Hatred. JFC you're a moron. :roll:

The gubment, so straighten out before you get on "the list".

I was disappointed in Letterman for his wishy-washy apology last night. He SHOULD have just said that the joke writer (whether it was one of his staff writers or himself) made the error of thinking that it was the older daughter at the game, for that error, he extends his apology. /apology

 

[Lemon law]

Well, who knows how many new scandals Sarah Palin will be up to her eyeballs in before
2012? Or will she try for US Senate in 2010.

I have faith in Sarah to stay in the publci eye, even if it is not always a favorable position.

It's a shame your grasp on reality isn't as developed as the sense of accomplishment you seem so desperate to display. I have bad news for you. You ain't said shit. Get back to us when you feel like addressing the great many Palin embarrassments already provided for you in this thread. Or you could go piss up a tree, I really couldn't care less.

In the interim, I'll take this feeble response of yours to mean you don't have the stones to acknowledge the unpleasant details regarding Palin's hypocrisy, and how it undermines her premise of a double-standard. Going by your previous posts, I can't say I'm surprised.

Spoken like a true wingnut! Grats FNE, you never fail to amuse. Can't argue with facts or common sense, well then shit! Time for a factually incorrect diversion!
You parrots, don't you guys ever get tired of embarrassing yourselves on this forum? (What was the actual number for your lie? 14 Dems, 2 Reps, and 1 Indy? Something like that...)

Keep complaining guys, it will prove a boon to Letterman and ultimately highlight what a hypocrite we already know Palin is. Just what her future in politics needs.

 

[kage69]

Hardly. I can make jokes about my family. You cannot. A joke I might tell about my family would get you into - well let's just say a considerable predicament.

Hypocrisy and opportunism are exactly what Palin is demonstrating here, but what sets it apart from your understandable position is that she is doing it for political benefit in the public forum. When you do that you say to the world "I don't have a problem with this." Palin looks like an idiot ignoring the clear mix-up here, while doing all she can to illustrate Letterman as some lecherous old man who is a threat to underage girls... despite already going on record herself, joking about her underage daughter being impregnated by another older man.
Either statutory rape is a disgusting crime to you, or it isn't. You can't play both sides here and still claim to be offended. Unless of course, you're Sarah Palin...

I'm having a hard time hating Letterman for doing what late night show hosts do, even if there was a mix-up resulting in hurt feelings. Isn't the first time, won't be the last. Even more difficult is taking Palin's outrage seriously: a politician who prides herself on family and morals, joking about the statutory rape of her own underage daughter (wrt to Edwards). If it's so disgusting and taboo, then why use it to make political points?

As was said before in this thread, it's just politics. Funny though, after not being able to sit at the big table with the adults in 2008, she seems to have settled for trying to wring political capital and sympathy from comedians. Pardon me if I'm not impressed.

She still dresses like a slutty airline stewardess and she'll have to live with that.

Sadly enough, that's her one redeeming feature...

I think you guys are giving Palin much more attention than she deserves

The only thing feeble here is your grasp of reality. Whatever a person thinks of Sarah Palin does not give them a reason/excuse to drag her daughters into the fray and insult them in order to get to her. I know that's hard for a hack like you to understand, but if you really have the "stones" you think you have surely you can at least admit that to yourself?? If you can't then "I can't say I'm surprised".

Now there's a "moral superiority kick"! Too bad it wasn't even a little bit original, but no matter :laugh: You do realize at this point you've basically denigrated your already pathetic claim of victory with the impressive position of "I'm right because I say I am," - despite not providing anything even close to a convincing argument? Accusations of "Hack!" from your kind really don't mean anything, sorry. It's like hearing Paris Hilton refer to someone else as 'vain,' or hearing Rush comment on someone being "filled with hate." Maybe if you had shown a little objectivity by trying to rationally address Palin's role here you might be taken seriously, but instead you are content to mimic her faux outrage and cut straight to the talking points.

It's interesting in an almost clinical way to see you Palin supporters exhibit the same kind of projecting that she does though. But anyway, since you seemed to have missed it the first time:

I'll take this feeble response of yours to mean you don't have the stones to acknowledge the unpleasant details regarding Palin's hypocrisy, and how it undermines her premise of a double-standard.

Are you going to embarrass yourself more and make me cut&paste this again and again?

Palin's PR stunt backfired, Letterman isn't going to lose his job, and your self-righteous partisan sensitivities aren't about to change any of that. Just deal with it, and be glad that mommy and daddy are letting you stay up late to watch his show to begin with.

From jonks' HuffPo link:

By Jim David

Conservatives are always accusing liberals of having no sense of humor and playing the victim. Now David Letterman has been forced to grovel, beg for forgiveness and apologize by a conservative with no sense of humor playing the victim.

Poor Sarah Palin. Not only did she lose the election, she is continually the butt of an infinite amount of jokes from a bunch of liberal late-night comedians who are largely responsible for the decay of contemporary culture. This is the same woman who advised us to "screw political correctness" and then has a fit when a comic screws political correctness and tells a joke. This is the same woman who said she knows foreign policy because Alaska is next to Russia, then whined when comics joked about it. The same woman who insists that the children of politicians are off-limits but put her daughter on the cover of People. The same woman who can't even reign in Levi Johnston from discussing his sex life with her daughter on "Larry King Live," much less handle the nation's nuclear codes.

I'll tell you what's really funny: the party of personal responsibility refuses to accept any personal responsibility.

Anyone with a brain knows that Letterman was joking about Palin's 18 year old daughter -- the one who appeared on Fox News talking about abstinence after failing to practice it -- and not her 14 year old one, who should rightfully be off-limits. But Palin, who can smell a political opportunity at 500 paces, doesn't mind twisting the facts if it suits her agenda, and the conservative echo chamber follows in lockstep -- the same people who make vile joke after vile joke about liberals and continually tell them to "lighten up."

Palin ludicrously connected the dots from Letterman's joke to the sexual abuse of young girls and the decline of Western Civilization, but refuses to acknowledge that her comments linking Barack Obama to terrorists could possibly inflame some psycho redneck, who probably attended one of her rallies, to act on it.

You can't have it both ways, lady. You can't get offended at a mild joke about the most famous sexually precocious teen in America (sorry if she's your daughter) and then say nothing when the man who ran your election operation in South Carolina compares Michelle Obama to a gorilla.

:laugh: *enter applause here*

No one needs to do that since she did first.

LOL, if only you knew what you think you know. I voted for Obama dumb ass. But thanks for putting all that moral superiority (that you don't think you have) out there for all to see.

My only point is that so many of you left wing hacks are doing to Palin exactly what the right wing hacks did to Cindy Sheehan.

Sarah Palin should be outraged that Sarah Palin is an unfit mother (and her husband is an unfit father).

Look there's many things about that woman I don't like but I wouldn't classify her as an unfit mothe, just far from being the best mother in America like millions of other mothers. Is she willing to exploit her daughter for poltical gain? Yep. Even Hillary wouldn't have done that with her daughter at that age.
