Palin Hits Back at Letterman

Katie Connolly

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has responded to an off-color joke about her 14 year old daughter Willow made by Late Show host David Letterman Monday night. During his regular monologue, Letterman joked about Palin's daughter getting knocked up by Alex Rodriguez after the Governor's recent visit to Yankee Stadium. MSNBC has Palin's response:

 "Concerning Letterman's comments about my young daughter (and I doubt he'd ever dare make such comments about anyone else's daughter): 'Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/NY entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands -- that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone's daughter, contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.'"

I am a grandmother of two girls, a mother of one girl.  I am old enough to have heard every kind of joke, and I admit that I am not that easy to shock.  David Letterman has apologized on air for this one.  I think the class thing to do is let this one die a natural death.  But the right wing nuts will not let it go.  Palin is a no starter.  Let her go, too.  As a woman, I am never going to think she has a place in the political game.

I'm not pissed, I'm logical.  if David (oozing liberal) Letterman had said that about the FRAUD Barry Soetoro a/k/a Obama's kid his nuts would have been cut off! I hope the rest of the country simply boycotts his show....

Let’s see there’s   lawyers representing Barry Soetoro a/k/a Obama because he needs them for what? Perhaps they are trying to keep information from the public as in:

Barry Soetoro a/k/a Obama

1) Where were you REALLY born?

2) What is your REAL name?

3) Are you secretly a Muslim?

4) Why did you have your records at Columbia University SEALED?

5) Why was your wife Michelle disbarred from being an attorney?

6) Did you travel to trouble-torn Pakistan on an Indonesia passport at the age of 20?

7) Did you cheat on your wife Michelle with both a man & a woman?

8) When did you stop using drugs?

9) Are you connected to the shooting death of Donald Young?

The "DOC" posted online and widely touted as "Obama's birth certificate" does not in any way prove he was born in Hawaii, since the same document is easily obtainable for children NOT born in Hawaii (in 1961 HI issued BC’S to foreigners). The true " Microfiche birth certificate” – which includes info like the name of the birth hospital, attending physician – is the only document that can prove Obama was born in Hawaii, but to date he has not permitted its release for public or press scrutiny.

Chill Pill- maybe we were all just joking and you need to lighten up. Don't be so defensive and angry.
