Sarah Palin Calls for Uprising Against Letterman for Joke About Her Daughter

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called on the public to rise up in opposition over David Letterman’s “degrading” jokes about her daughter this week. In a Friday morning television interview on NBC’s “Today” show, Gov. Palin said the late-night comedian’s remarks are a “sad commentary on where we are as a culture, as a society, to chuckle and laugh through comments such as he had made the other night, I think is quite unfortunate.”

Letterman’s explanation that he was referring to her 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, instead of her 14-year-old daughter, Willow, who accompanied her recently to New York, was met with derision by the governor. She called the remarks a “very convenient excuse” that took him a couple of days to present. “It was a degrading comment about a young woman. I would hope that people really start rising up and deciding it’s not acceptable. No wonder young girls especially have such low self-esteem in America when we think it’s funny for a so-called comedian to get away with being able to make such a remark as he did and to think that that’s acceptable,” Palin said.

David Letterman is a DUMB MORON. You’re so unfunny. I don’t watch late night talk show because they are lame and have gotten worse. What the hell is it worth watching on late night TV? None! NADA! If Free Republic can bring down Dan Rather, a veteran CBS reporter, than they can bring down Loserman. Don Imus got fired for making comments and he has done that many times. Not that I am a fan of him. Well, Letterman’s days are numbered. I predict he will be out soon. I made the same prediction of Bill Maher of Politically Incorrect in 2000 that his show would be canned by 2002. Turned it was in part because of comments he made not too long after 9/11, an emotionally charged time.
