The real problem here is the sorry face of the Republican party at this juncture. Palin was first invited to NY to speak at the GOP pow wow.Then she was uninvited to speak,then kind of reinvited then dropped from speaking.Newt did the speaking as he is now seen as the strongest of a weak short list of canidates for 2012.
You guys are masking the weakness of the party and it's foolish line up of losers by bringing up Letterman !! Hell,he's no better or worse then Rush,the king of bad taste.
No the real story here is the double standard of the media and the stupidity of the people at large not to understand letterman, like others, are just entertainers. They should be held at least to the same standard as any of us when making public statements about any kids. His staff failed him, he needs to take responsiblity and if he can't, then he is worthless as an entertainer. If others don't see the problem and still watch him, then they are as smart as a slug.
As for the GOP, it is lost and Newt needs to fade away because if this is all they are willing to put up there, it is a lost party. The funny thing is Andy, they are acting like the democratic party back in '96 with the internal confusion and stupidity. The dems finally got it together when the far left took over the party.
Focus on why Palin came to NY in the first place and the fodder she has created in the media since day 1.All Letterman did was his job for Christs sake. He's a comedian,and Palin has been an easy target since she hit the national spotlight.
I thought the visit was a two fold event, one was to speak at the GOP thing and the other was to be awarded something for her work with disabled kids - or did AP get that wrong?
Yes she is a target, but so are others. The nominee for the supreme court is another but we can't talk about her like we can Palin? There is a difference to me, Palin seems to at least have some integrity dealing with her disabled kid and I have even heard some hateful things from the left about her and her kid, you support those hateful things said about a disabled kid?
Not only did her older girl get knocked up ,he boy freinds Mother turned out to be a dope dealer.Seems Ms. Palin had a busy agenda trying to become a relevant politician and lost sight of being a Mom on a very basic level.She had access to law enforcment to slander a family member,why not check up on what was going on with daughters boy friend s family?
Hey Andy, it's funny you brought this up because many in your circle make allowances for the same exact thing. I mean look at Hollywood as a whole, don't they seem force us to accept this as normalize type of behavior through their work? You can't make claims that this is a bad situation when you have people in your state that seems to promote these behaviors and vilify anyone suggesting it is wrong. It is a right to have a kid and to do what they want regardless what morals are cast aside.
How about the Democratic point of view of working mothers? what happened to that in your judgement of a working mother. Now because she is a republican, she doesn't count as a working mother? What happened to the excuses made by the liberals on why Johnny can't read or why Jane got knocked up at 15 by Jack? Blaming Palin for her failure is her fault while other mothers who "failed" to do their job sits with the system really proves a point of a double standard.
As for her and the tropper thing, that is alaska's problem, just like Clinton using the arkansaw state troopers to get laid - right?
The whole deal is typical of the "conservatives",Do as I say and not as I do.Leo,you are so full of it ,I also suggest you need to get over yourself.You sound down right foolish at times,no offense intended,just sound advise.
No you got it wrong. When people trash Obama for example, the same reaction happens but it is alright because he is your messiah. I am not a conservitive but I do think letterman is wrong in his approach and delivery of his joke. He knows better to do the research, he knows better than to appoligize as he did but because he, like many other entertainers, has a clear agenda of hate, he doesn't care.
