Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman react to Rush Limbaugh's attack...

[cynatnite]

Anyone shocked by this?

[Old and In the Way]

1. Can you imagine if some progressive/liberal commentator had called one of their daughter's a slut?

Or even called a whole class of women the same? They'd have gone ballistic. Yes, Ed Shultz called Laura Ingraham a slut...
but he did apologize directly and promptly to her. And it's not like Ms. Ingraham didn't have a platform to fire back on that remark.

2. Letterman apologized to Palin for

something far less inflammatory:

David Letterman apologized to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on Monday night's show, saying he takes "full responsibility" for a "beyond flawed" joke in which he had quipped that Palin's daughter had been "knocked up" by Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez.

Just after his monologue, Letterman sat behind his desk and apologized to Palin's two daughters, Bristol and Willow, Palin and her family and "everybody else who was outraged by the joke."

Letterman continued, "I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception."

Despite the apology, Palin supporters tell the Los Angeles Times that they still plan to hold a protest rally today outside the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City, where Letterman tapes his show.

So that apology wasn't good enough for Queen Palin, but it's OK to let Limbaugh run roughshod over Fluke.

3. And Shultz got a week's suspension out of the deal too.

Just sayin'
