How come no one is outraged at Letterman's shots
at Elliot Spitzer and Alex Rodriguez? Why aren't bald Jewish men and Hispanics rising up demanding an apology?

2. That's who I thought the joke was mostly about.
Specifically the one trying to keep Spitzer away from their daughter.

5. It is A-Okay for straight men's sexuality to be the butt of jokes
and even better if they can be demeaned, that's what equality means.

6. because they are adults who volunteered for public status and are compensated for it


Palin's kids were Shanghied and weren't even told what they were doing standing next to John McCain.

8. She wasn't age of majority when she got sucked into all of this
and was manimpulated in front of the cameras.

Her actions show that she is still a child and should be sheltered, as most 19 year olds should.

Palin is an idiot for 'putting' them out, a careless mother and now a grandmother.

But we should not assist and we should ignore the children and Letterman, who makes $ 20 million a year should have known better.

9. Sorry, but she's an adult now.
She's the one now publicly promoting for an abstinence program. She's a public figure and is open to mockery just like any other public figure.

11. I commented on another thread about feeling sorry for A-rod...
but Spitzer got caught with a prostitute so that automatically opens him up to ridicule by late night comedians. I'm pretty sure that's in the comedian rule book somewhere.
