Obama said families were off limits as part of the campaign, meaning he or his team would not use Palin’s family as an issue.
Letterman is a different story. Not only is he not a politician but rather a comedian, but Palin isn’t running for anything so this isn’t even a campaign.
In case you weren’t aware of it, Letterman does a lot of things Obama wouldn’t do such as tell jokes about Obama, making sexual references about Bill and Hillary, and having a top 10 list on a nightly basis which by most accounts isn’t even that funny.
Seems to me that once again Palin has shown she has very thin skin, and if she can’t handle a pesky late night comedian, how does she (or her party) think she could handle interacting with world leaders, defusing a terrorist threat, or acting as a leader to our military?
In my view, this whole Letterman debacle has only shown yet again that the woman isn’t cut out for a national office. Take away the skirts, the hair pulled up, and the schoolteacher glasses and you don’t have much of substance remaining.
As I see it, as long as she continues to flap her trap about nothing, any comedian has the right to crack jokes about her.
Sarah preaches abstinence ONLY education – and yet Bristol is knocked-up by a self-proclaimed “redneck jock”… and Sarah is just too simple in the head to see the cognitive dissonance of that situation:
it BEGS jokes – hell; they practically write themselves.
Dave showed some real class to apologize (even though the faux Grand Oil Party outrage was bullshit.)
Now that they’ve gotten their apology, the GOP-ers can get back to telling their own jokes:
…escaped gorilla is just one of Michelle Obama’s ancestors. (Rusty DePass, R-SC)
…the mass-emailed photo collage that depicts President Obama as eyeballs on a black background (State senator Diane Black, R-TN)
…Obama’s gonna tax aspirin because it’s white and it works (Mike Green, R-SC)
Real classy, guys. It’s not offensive if you’re a Republican? Is that the deal? And those are just racist jokes from this past week. If we want to go back farther and get some “daughter” jokes, we have:
…did you know the White House also has a dog? Yeah, Chelsea Clinton (Rush Limbaugh, R-evolting – Chelsea was 13 at the time)
…the reason Chelsea Clinton is so ugly is because Janet Reno is her father (John McCain, R-eprehensible)
the hypocrisy is so obvious…
You forgot the guy who sent out the ‘Obama the Magic Negro’ CD as a fundraiser for the GOP.
I found this story interesting, I guess you could say Sarhoid is a little ‘slow’ in her complaints;
I seriously hope she doesn’t think she has a shot at being prez.
The Palin supporters yelling “terrorist” at her rallies whenever Obama’s name was mentioned are the same people who convinced me to make up my mind and vote for Obama.
I heard he was a A-Rab.
My favorite was the woman in WV during hte primaries who said “I don’t like the ‘Hussein’ thing”.
Man, I see a lot of persons afraid of Sarah Palin!
It seems he wasn’t making fun of Sarah…What was it that President Obama said in his campaign.
