US Election 2012
In this age of out-of-control political correctness, it never ceases to amaze me how thin our skins have become. Can anyone around here take a joke anymore? I'm referring to the latest — and utterly ridiculous — furor being made over the comments David Letterman made last week about Sarah Palin's daughter. Palin, of course, went ballistic.... [Well, guess we know where "Chuck Barney" stands on the filthy old man issue.]
... continues to be offended by David Letterman's joke "about the statutory rape of my 14 year-old daughter.... " referred to Letterman as a "so-called comedian..." Letterman made one joke in his opening monologue about the ongoing controversy, saying, "I think everything's fine now: She called and offered to take me hunting...." [Actually a good idea. Let's take Cheney along! And take this writer, who says,] suggests she still doesn't get the idea that Letterman's self-admittedly "cheap" joke... had nothing to do with rape...
Gov. Palin pushed back at Letterman again this morning, issuing a statement via Palin PAC spokesperson Meghan Stapelton. "The Palins have no intention of providing a ratings boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show," Stapelton said in an email to ABC News. "Plus, it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman."
Sarah Palin lambasted late-night comedian David Letterman Wednesday for "sexually-perverted comments" about one of her teenage daughters - and rebuffed his moves to make nice.
Some say she needs to decide if she's running for president surreptitiously or overtly.
Palin warned that the government is planning to "bail out debt ridden states" so it can "get in there and control the people." "Since when can you get out of huge national debt by creating trillions of dollars of new debt?" Palin asked. "It all really is so backwards and skewed as to sound like absolute nonsense when some of this economic policy is explained." [video]
Mitt Romney returned yesterday to a conservative gathering where his 2008 presidential campaign was both birthed and buried, helping to establish the onetime moderate Massachusetts governor as a movement favorite, de-facto leader of an out-of-power party, and an early, default front-runner for the 2012 nomination.
