		<description>I'm glad NOW is finally getting to this. In the spirit of gender equality, I (and any other man who finds the current state of our popular media offensive) insist on NOW's comitment to publically censure ANY female commedienne's act that in any way depricates men, ANY TV sitcom in which men are portrayed in role dumb idiots, etc. Since NOW has no sense of humor, let them start by cleaning out their own backyard, where most female comedy acts are based on slagging men.</description>

		<description>Im sure NOW had a hard time putting Letterman 
on that list since he's on there side, The extreme left wing. Even Obama calls women
babe, or honey. But we can't touch those left wingers saying anything off base.</description>

		<description>I too, am so sick of these big shots making cracks about sleeping with kids!!    Larry the Cable guy made a similar "joke".  Making a predator type comment "funny" makes it no less pedophilic.  Makes me mad sick.</description>

Lets see who has no morals?

Defending an idiot who calls for "Rape" of someone's daughter - Is Moral?

Defending the person who is subjected to such heinous and vulgar abuse.. Is Moral?</description>

		<description>Yes, Palin is outraged, and so was Harry Truman. 
It goes with the territory of being a parent. 

As for the press, I agree. They are eating this up while ignoring her success in getting the natural gas pipeline in Alaska going...that should help fuel prices a bit.</description>

		<description>"But you are ignoring the actual point of my essay. Guess you didn’t bother to read it, or the NOW announcement that I linked to."

Oh, yes, the talking points that were covered so well in your essay. I addressed that nonsense before. But, I guess you didn't read what I wrote.


Letterman is NOT a sick, rude idiot and all those who attack him have no ethics or morals or brain power to see the hypocrisy at work.

I do have to congratulate Palin and her toadies for one thing. Palin's hyeterical false outrage has deflected attention from real issues again as she has masterfully manipulated the far right wing media and their apologists. When bigger issues such as the economy, the ongoing wars, the collapse of the auto industry in the US, rising fuel prices, etc are pushed aside in favor of what one comedian said about a politician for day after day, one has to applaud the false outrage orchestrated by Palin. Most folks see through the smoke and know what she is again doing. Sadly, some do not.</description>

		<description>Letterman is sick and disgusting.  He has all the moral and ethical maturity of baboon.  What's worse, he really thinks he's funny.  If arrogance was a virtue, he would be wearing gossamer wings and a halo.</description>

		<description>What utter nonsense. It is amazing how the Palin lovers as well as Palin herself ignore the fact that she trotted out her family to exploit them repeatedly while attacking Letterman for a stupid joke. Family isn't off limits when they get shoved down the throats of every American on a weekly basis. She chose to exploit her family. To now foul and make up nonsense about Letterman is pathetic.

And what is really sad is some folks actually are falling for her nonsense. To rephrase an earlier poster.....Proof that conservative Republicans are the biggest pollutant on earth.</description>

		<description>letterman,... have a hatred for women and use their perversion as a means of entertaining simple minds who in reality, come about as close to having sex as a 900-number.

And we may safely assume that Bristol Palin was the only female in the United States who is an unwed mother.  Likewise it is simply deplorable that her mother should encourage other young women to abstain from sex until marriage.  It is a known fact that liberals do not have sex or become pregnant outside marriage, and that is to be highly commended.

Makes one wonder as to why liberals demand for no restrictions on abortions since they do not engage in sex outside marriage or produce unwanted pregnancies.  Amazing.

		<description>Mr. Letterman is not a "woman hating bigot".  Rather, he is a hypocrisy hating satirist.  The joke he made about Sarah Palin's daughter getting "knocked up by Alex Rodriguez" at a Yankees game was directed at her older (18 year-old) daughter, Bristol Palin, who has been travelling around the United States advocating the virtues of abstinence to teenaged girls -- 3 months after becoming an unwed mother herself.  Since Bristol had a history of getting "knocked up", it makes her fair game for the comedians since her mother (the great and infallible Sarah Palin) puts her in the spotlight whenever it's convenient for her politically.  

The joke he made about Sarah Palin's "Slutty flight attendant look" was directed at Governor Palin directly.  He did so not because Governor Palin is a woman, but because she is a lying hypocrite.  He has targeted many such people before (George W. Bush, Carl Rove, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, etc.) because their actions and statements at many points in their careers deserved to be held up to ridicule and scorn.  If anything, David Letterman owes an apology to flight attendants, not Sarah Palin.</description>
