I was going to just send this out in an email. But I had more and more to say, so I thought I'd just turn it into a post. Lucky you...
David Letterman has been old news to me for almost a decade. Never really found him and his writers to be all that funny. His "Top Ten's" were pretty good, but I always felt that #2 was consistently funnier than #1 and I could never figure out why his writers didn't see it. Sorry, I digress.
So Letterman opens his yap, and this weird and creepy crap starts falling out of it. I couldn't find the actual video, but here's a link to the audio.
At first, these might sound like they're slams on Elliot Spitzer and Alex Rodriguez, but if you think about it, he'd never say these things about Obama's kids. He's talking about a 14 year old girl. Willow Palin was the only Palin child to attend the Yankee's game. This dirty old man is just pissed off and angry and disgusting.
It kind of makes you wonder why he would even pick out (and pick on) a former candidate for VP that lost. She was in N.Y. for some "kids with special needs" function. So, why the "slutty flight attendant" comment? And why go after Palin's kids? Why mention her at all? Dave and his group won, right? She should be old news. Unless there was something more to her candidacy (past and future) that the rest of us don't know about. Are David and the Dems really that afraid of one woman, from Alaska, that they have to keep firing on her, almost a year after she's stopped campaigning against them? Kind of pathetic really.
And for all those that would defend Letterman under the guise of "it's just a joke, it's his job, it's what he does", imagine it was your 14 year old daughter. Imagine I had just typed a sentence that conjured up the image of your 14 year old daughter and Alex Rodriguez having sex in Yankee stadium. Now, imagine that I had about 10 million readers (oh, to dream). Ten MILLION people are thinking about YOUR underage daughter having sex, in a public place, with a skeezy baseball player. That's not funny. That's not a joke. That's not a job.
Unfortunately, it seems, it IS what David Letterman does.
