You Know Who I REALLY Feel Sorry For In This Whole Letterman/Palin Brouhaha????

[Beetwasher]

Conan O'brien.

:rofl:

Palin is essentially guaranteeing Letterman will be the new king of late night. His ratings will be through the roof.

Man is she stupid. What the hell does she think she gains by doing this? Letterman has EVERYTHING to gain.

1. I always feel bad for her kids who seem pretty normal. It isn't their fault who their Mom is.

I can't even stand to watch her on TV. gag

[tridim]

2. Yea, I never thought about that, but it's probably true.

Conan's writers are probably very jealous of Dave's writers right now.

[Beetwasher]

3. Something Like This Could Cement Letterman Into The Top Place

Permanently.

If I remember correctly, back when Leno and Dave were first going head to head, there was some sort of big semi-scandalous thing that happened on Leno's show, and that put him on top and he never looked back.

4. Yeah it was poor schmo Hugh Grant.

And hey, when the far right boycotts CBS, they will have to fire him and he can skip to the bank after making a HUGE new deal with NBC or ABC.

[hfojvt]

5. the other thing that might be guaranteeing it

is Conan's lameness. His monologues would be embarrassing at a high school talent show.

6. Is it wrong that I feel a little sorry for A-rod?

Maybe he's offended that someone would think he would have sex with a Palin? :shrug: TMZ should ask him.

9. Did Rodriguez get some teenager pregnant? He's kind of a victim here too

[aikoaiko]

7. Her statements appeal to the conservative base who were beginning to forget about her

Really, having Dave continue and her responding with some sense of attack on New York liberals and defense of family is in her best interest.

This, my friend, is how politicians stay in the public's eye.

[Beetwasher]

8. Who Cares?

She can't do anything w/ just her idiotic, looney base. This does way more for Dave than it can ever do for her. She's an idiot, but I say, let her keep it up.

[aikoaiko]

11. who cares? Well you asked, "What the hell does she think she gains by doing this?"

So I answered your question.

[Beetwasher]

12. It Was Rhetorical, She Gains Nothing

She stays in the spotlight as an idiot. That gains her nothing.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog should interview her.

:evilgrin:

[BurtWorm]

13. All she wants is to be talked about still.

She (or someone close to her) thinks she needs to stay in the public's eye through 2012 to stay atop the GOP field.

Dumb! She doesn't know how to be a national politician. She only knows how to be a tabloid star at best.
