Open Thread – Palin on Today Show
On the next stop in the “Look at Me!” tour, seems our governor will be making an appearance on the Today Show with Matt Lauer. Topics are reported to be the future of the GOP and the escalating family feud with David Letterman.
In case you missed it, the response from Med Stapleton to Letterman’s 8 minute explanation, and admission that the jokes were tasteless, and renouncing completely that he would ever endorse underage sex of any kind, was this little gem:
“The Palins have no intention of providing a ratings boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show. Plus, it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman.”
Keep Willow away from David Letterman? So now we’ve got Meg Stapleton insinuating that David Letterman is a pedophile? The Palin’s actually had some public opinion on their side on this one. That is until the acid tongue of SarahPAC let loose with its usual over-the-top venom.
So what can we expect tomorrow? More mangled talking points? Exxon is our pal? Franco Sarto red high-heeled cork shoes (not to be used as a flotation device)? Quick, hide your daughters, it’s Late Night With David Letterman? Disinvitation from the GOP fundraising dinner?
Those on the east coast will have the first opportunity to share it here.
Me? I’m going to make sure I’ve had a nice black cup of coffee and splashed some cold water on my face before I catch it on YouTube.

If Palin didnt’ mind the SNL incest jokes about her family, is it possible that her real objection to Letterman’s joke is racial because ARod is brown-skinned? I just find her disdain for President Obama indicative of racist views and well, since her base likely shares those views, there’s probably some unspoken racial anxiety about that joke that a “white” girl would have relations with a “brown” boy and get “knocked-up”?
—————–
very interesting point…she IS one of those extremist, supremacists that want to secede to keep their society pure and follow their own, corrupt rules of law, afterall…procreating left and RIGHT to increase the numbers…I hope Letterman sues her till the moose come home and wins!!! …and I really want them to find some connection between that whack-job 88 yr old killer and any of palin’s hate-mongering he was incited by…enough is enough! if AK can’t reel her in, maybe the rest of us can.

Agreed. You’re right, it goes way beyond partisan politics.
It’s really indefensible. Anyone that tried would be a lot like Beck claiming the Holocaust shooter was a “lefty” – politically, that is (because Hitler was so left-leaning).
Yeah, right. and the sky is green, the grass is purple and the devil is ice skating to work.
They really do have their own reality, don’t they?

It has been recently reported, twice I believe, that Tim Geithner has traveled to China to reassure them that we are credit-worthy. For his actions to undermine the efforts of the Obama administration, I believe Kirk should now be fully eligible for censure and any other penalties the House Ethics Committee can impose. This is over the line – and not merely an act of partisan politics.
Kirk hates America. His part of IL need to tell him that he makes them ill… and that he’s borderline wack. His congressional colleagues need to censor him. Further, he “should not be believed.”

OMG, and they claim that PO is anti-American!
While the neocons are pulling for an Ahmadinejad victory in Iran (it was they who embarrassed Iranian moderates out of power and ushered in the right wingers), b/c war is unlikely if the moderates win, one has to wonder just who America’s enemies actually are. And if there is any room left for doubt that Republicans are desperate enough for Obama to fail to facilitate it – no matter the cost to America – Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) on a recent visit to China, told the Chinese not to trust America’s word about budget numbers, and encouraged them to be skeptical about our credit rating. Yes, a sitting member of OUR Congress did that …

Noticed that the person who used the name “Meg Stapleton” over on Gryphen’s blog claimed that using the governor’s name is a state and federal offense.
I don’t know about the specific Alaskan law, if any re this, but there sure as hell is no federal statute about it. So real or faux, “Meg Stapleton” is wrong.
I do think Letterman has a clear legal case now against Sarah Palin for defamation of character, libel, slander, and possible threatened assault (what was she saying Willow would do to Dave???).
Oooops… this isn’t going well for Tabloid Tweetie. There are all sorts of new voices springing up on the Internet and media all over who are just horrified at this debacle. Mothers are discussing everywhere how SP is so awful as a parent to bring her children into this negative spotlight.
No matter what the groups are doing (NOW), individuals are feeling indignant and very worried that she could be such a poor mother for dragging this out – and for Willow becoming a very recognizable name with nasty associations. I’ve been going from blog to blog, newsgroups, and media comments and if she thought this was a strike in her favor, she’s very wrong. We may not here these voices very often, but they are always there, within people who read, listen and VOTE. Take heart!
Isabella,
I too noticed this morning she caught herself from saying riot. I’m actually surprised she did.
Her and Todd have embellished this so much that I believe Letterman could sue them for slander and whatever else as the wording has been verbalized in very accusatory ways.

Isn’t that crawfish the mike?
Mel mentioned the reference to Sarah Palin’s basketball years and that mirroring what drives her today..
I think perhaps she was a vicious little ball player due to her unusual gene / brain makeup but I also think .. she became fanatical about hearing the crowd roar! When she did something people cheered.. if she just played ball she wouldn’t stand out.. people would be seeing the team not the cuda girl
She goes limp and haggard when interviews are serious and uninterested in her.. when an interview is all about her and there is a crowd.. that woman gets fire in her eyes..
Where in the Lower 48 is SP? Ha ha, good one! Even more fun than Carmen Santiago!
BigSlick “Did Sarah just make a threat against Letterman? Or did Willow? Or was Sarah encouraging Willow to assault Letterman?”
Oh. minute 5:05 Palin almost said RIOT up then caught herself finishing with RISE.
“Willow, WOULD, know doubt want to stay away from (Dave)”. “Maybe Willow has had enough”
HMMMM, does Palin, not talk to her own child she is EXPLOITING to KNOW FOR CERTAIN, how her child feels? Not MAYBE or WOULD?
Holy cow! Was that really Meg on Gryphen’s blog? Are you kidding? Seriously? OMG. I am just shaking my head. Way to look professional. Unbelievable. Meg, sweetie, is this your next stop? And IS that a crawfish on your jacket? If so, that was a fashion risk, and I am proud of you for takin’ risks and progressing yourself, but let’s check with someone else next time, also, too.
New thread now up on Letterman interview.
Oh dear, I didn’t mean to hit submit so many times….big thumbs and little iPhone, sorry AKM!
Did Sarah just make a threat against Letterman? Or did Willow? Or was Sarah encouraging Willow to assault Letterman?
On the today show she said:
“Hey, take it however you want to take it,” she said. “It is a comment that came from the heart that Willow, no doubt, would want to stay away from David Letterman after he made such a comment. And you can interpret that however you want to interpret it.”
“Well is that not perhaps in bad taste also, governor?” Lauer asked.
“No, it’s not in bad taste,” she said. “Hey, maybe he couldn’t be trusted because Willow’s had enough of this type of comments and maybe Willow would want to react to him in a way that maybe would catch him off guard. That’s one way to interpret such a comment.”
Here’s how I would respond if I were Dave:

I think Dave made great sport of SP last night with the Top Ten about Regis Philbin, done by Regis Philbin, about why he (RB) could not be on the show last night. At the end, DL gave RB a huge bouquet of big red roses, just like a beauty pagent winner would get.
I thought it was all too subtle and hilarious. IMHO, it was clearly about SP’s -yes-no-maybe-maybe not- typical response to speaking requests.
We can look forward to a long pillory of the Guv.
Oh it is so much more funny this way 🙂

Attn: Austin/Izzy
Even though GINO will not see my email until she returns I am going to have the satisfaction of knowing it will be waiting there when she does.
I am sending an email telling her that I think it is despicable the way she has used ‘ another ‘ one of her kids ( Willow ) for political gain and throw in some choice comments about Todd as a father for the outright lies and elevating the discussion by used the word rape. Which was never an issue until he ‘fabricated it’. It really demeans the issue as to the people who have lived through it. It showed total insensitivity. I’ll have some other choice words too.
We should all ‘ contribute ‘ to her email mailbox awaiting her return.

Seriously…try a wet TEABAG. After using it once, leave it in a container in the fridge in a little water. This may take a day or two. Dab the teabag on the spot several times a day and let the area air dry. It really helped me. The longer the tea bag stays in water in the fridge..the stronger and better it gets.
My boyfriend has always said he knows all he needs to know about SP from her basketball history. Why was she called barracuda? Cuz she played dirty. All elbows and stepping on toes, and probably argued about fouls called on her. Just did her nasty thing and never looked back. She herself says she learned most of what she knows about life from sports. And I think we’ve all known and detested players like that. That’s what’s happening now. Do anything, say anything, act like you’re the best when actually you’re just an asshole with sharp elbows and rocks for brains. God I hate this woman. The only thing that will bring her down, lie-wise, it to reveal that she is not Trig’s bio mom, which she’s not and which many of us are still determined to prove.
And
Pepperzmom – I had a spider bite a few years ago – symptoms very similar to what you describe. I feel your pain! We’re pretty fortunate up here, to my knowledge we only have two really dangerous spiders, Brown Recluse and the Hobo spider fortunately for me I don’t think it could have been either. Didn’t see the spider, just the web (after the fact) I unknowingly walked into while clearing Devils Club. Bite area was red dot surrounded by raised swollen tissue that was hard to the touch. Took about two weeks for the swelling to go down completely. Sorry for your discomfort and hope you recover quickly!
Technically, when Palin suggests that Letterman is talking about statutory rape by saying “knocked up” in his joke… well, it makes me wonder if Todd raped Sarah because, yanno, Sarah was knocked up by engaging in premarital sex with Todd… oh yeah… Sarah is but one of two Palin girls who got knocked up.
Maybe the joke was directed at Sarah instead of Bristol.
@Closet Mudpup #400:
Wow. Excellent…
Is Bristol in college? According to the Wolf Blitzer interview, she is.

That’s a awesome letter! 🙂
wayney,
Medicating young children is a problem beyond the Palins. Even if it is it is a prescription and legal it can be abuse.
In Alaska Palin and the state are being sued for her position on medicating children in state care. As a working parent, and you have a child who needs to be medicated in order for you to do your job, do you chose your job or the child’s well being? Children actors get some protection from the state. Recently kate&8 have the Department of Labor looking after those celebrity children. Politicians can do whatever I guess. Palin’s children accompany their mother, they aren’t working. The whole situation with a premmie down syndrome baby with a heart problem needs to be looked at in detail. He was 4 or 5 months old at the time. For months of his young life he was on a grueling campaign schedule. He was seen and photographed going into a SNL gig, that was so his mother could appear in that comedy forum. That was after SNL did the incest skit about her family. Would she say she was exposing a child to perverts?

PepperzMom –
Just got off the phone with my friend in W.V. who has dealt with many a spider bite and she wondered if perhaps it was a brown recluse spider. She said her bite marks were bullseye shaped in nature and warm to the touch. Her doctor wanted to keep an eye on the spread of it and made a circle around it as well because like crystalwolf aka caligrl said earlier, spider bites can be necrotic.
Keep us informed as to how you’re doing!

Probably hanging with Perry since they are such big “buds” (why anyone would want to hang with p.rick is beyond me, but whatever).

No problem…
I have a friend living in the mountains of W.V. who is often bit by spiders that seem to want to cause her much ill. I’ll call her to ask if this sounds familiar. She’s a naturalist and only deals with things like this holistically. If I can find anything useful, I will post.
Have you tried a baking soda paste already ? Calamine ? What about that over-the-counter tube of antibiotic with pain reliever ?
Not really pain…just annoying itching! Can’t scratch it…dagnabbit! And you know the old adage about wanting to scratch an itch (no…not THAT one – sheesh!) makes it itch even worse. It’s true…
Thanks for a possible assist from WV….will check back in here in a bit.

Got bite by a spider of unknown origin last Saturday and am continuing to have problems with the bite area….bite area a dimple in my leg, right need the inner knee bending area, then a raised ring, then about 1″ on either side that underneath is hard as a rock and red/heated. On an anti-biotic, but no relief from itching. Dr’s had me mark the current circle of irritation/redness for use in determining whether I will need to go to ER over the weekend if med’s stop stop the infection.
Anyone got a naturalist way to help me with the problem of itching? Neosporin is not the answer for the itching…

You could try aloe vera, either straight from the plant or juice you buy in the store. But I would be very careful with spider bite and follow Dr.s instructions! Spider bites can cause necrotic (dead) tissue! They need to be watched carefully. The redness rockhard/suggests inflammation from the venom. Try icing the area. Ask your Dr. if OTC antihistamines will work for itching. Spider bites are nothing to mess with.
PepperzMom (GA) –
Ha!! You made me laugh big time about the fact that your closed captioning went into meltdown trying to follow Sarah’s blathering. I never thought of that !!! Fabulous!
Actually, that’d make a great segment for Dave that would be safe. He wouldn’t have to say a thing. He could simply look at the camera after his first set of jokes and before breaking for commercial (so that it stays fresh in viewer’s minds) and say , “And….on another note…” and cut to the feed of the closed captioning trying to keep up with one of her amazingly freakish run on sentences. Once it ends, he does a classic Dave pause where he says nothing but raises an eyebrow and he then says, “Aaaand… we’ll be right back “.
Love it!
Re: spider:
That’s “Dr’s had me mark the current circle of irritation/redness for use in determining whether I will need to go to ER over the weekend if med’s DON’T stop the infection.”

Enough of Letter BS! I want to hear how you SA-rah plagiarized Newts speech! I also,too…want to hear how before that said speech you went up and said good things about a man who advocates putting grenades in babies butts!
How about that Sa-rah????

I agree with you. The Newt speech plagiarizing is history. It had it’s news cycle and never caught on.
Using Letterman deflects from this Exxon issue as no one has brought up the issue and asked questions of Exxon being involved with Alaska again considering the spill and the destruction and the 20 years it took to a crap settlement.
If she continues to escalate the accusatory talk of rape and pedophilia, she will be ramping up her legal fund as Letterman may well be in a position to sue her.

Is Palin headed for a breakdown? I am compiling a list of what I have seen on TV in the past 8 days and I don’t even know her.
1) She plagiarized Newt Gingrich.
2) She threatened to be a “no-show” at a GOP event, but then came to it anyway. They had to replace her as speaker because she was so erratic.
3) She is in a fight with a comedian over something he didn’t even really say.
4) She is now taking on the culture in America against women in the media, even though she herself:
a- forced rape victims to pay for rape kits while mayor of Wasilla;
b -made her daughter become a paid spokesperson for a sexy shoe company which targets tweens;
c-laughs loudly HERSELF at degrading jokes about women on recorded radio & TV shows (e.g.,the “Lyda Green” incident, the Hillary remarks, the Montreal radio pranksters)
d – never confronted Eddie Burke for the comments he made about Bristol and “going to keggers” last month
e – has never upbraided Rush Limbaugh or FOX news for the degrading things they have said about women for the past 10 years
5) Signed a contract with the one oil company most Alaskans do not want to be in business with.
6) Called Pres. Obama “the candidate who must be obeyed” on NBC this morning.
These are just off the top of my head. Anyone else?
I am telling you: SHE IS MADE OF TEFLON! Everything that is thrown at her slips off. NOTHING sticks.
REALLY scary, IMHO! I don’t know what or who it will take to stop her, but SHE MUST BE STOPPED!
I think the key here is to absolutely keep Palin in the public eye, constantly, from here on in. Get every single network clamoring for appearances, especially the early shows. If we can keep her on a round-the-clock circuit of “look at me and my indignation and how i won’t sit down and shuddup!” then, at some point, she’s gonna start making some serious blunders. She’s gonna blurt something big, tie herself up in her own rope and won’t be able to untie it fast enough. I’m convinced she’s taking something to allow her to keep this sort of crazy schedule and it’s only a matter of time before it causes her to snap.
There’s a loooong time till 2012. I doubt it’ll take more than 8 months to get her packed and gone from the political arena. I was remembering today a sociology theory based on “the 100th monkey” concept. Per Wikipedia :
>>By generalisation it means the instantaneous, paranormal spreading of an idea or ability to the remainder of a population once a certain portion of that population has heard of the new idea<<
We on Mudflats and all of the other fabulous sites are the first 100 monkeys.

Levi Johnston thinks David Letterman may have crossed the line in making raunchy jokes about Sarah Palin’s daughter.
“I think he might have a little bit,” Johnston tells Extra.
But Johnston — the father of 18-year-old Bristol Palin’s baby, Tripp — thinks Letterman wasn’t being malicious.
See photos of shocking star teen pregnancies.
“I don’t think he meant to hurt anybody,” says Johnston, 19. “He’s a comedian. That’s what he does…People are going to make jokes and there’re going to talk and say whatever they want. You can’t do nothing about it.
“[But] there’s somewhere you have to draw the line with some things….” Johnston continues.

LAST i promise!
About Trig and colic .. off topic .. but was talking to a lady today that said her son had it and the doc offered medicine to make him SLEEP
She didnt want to medicate him so just grinned and beared it
But this could explain his comotose state
Being a traveling gov. she could of asked the good doc to write her an ongoing prescription
a little out there I know..but it just struck a chord with me when she mentioned the meds
I am all for working towards building up young women in America ..yadda yadda.. insert Palin’s talking points here..
but I don’t have a daughter (have a son) but I have 8 neices all reaching the tween years and beyond..
S.P.’s turkey neck yipping her support of this is NOT who I would want them to look up to
She is actually quite supportive of the other side in her actions, mannerisms, responses
Have you ever seen a woman Lick her lips so much when talking?
To Men
When she was interviewed by Katie.. you saw her hunched over, thin lipped, dragon eyes.. when its men she’s leaning forward, licking them glossy lips , giggling the whole bit
This is not her cup of tea to be blabbing about

Well -Been pounding the pavement to see if sarah is still here. No luck , yet. I believe that the background in the interview was at the $9900 a month Villa that Perry lives in. Our Governors Mansion was torched and he picked a place 14 miles west of town in a gated community. If not there , she might have been at the Barton Creek CC and Resort that is near there. If she is still here and goes out tonite , I’m sure it will be to watch the christian motorcycle daredevil Robbie Knievel jump some beer trucks next to our Capitol downtown. I will be out and about on a mission for caligrl ,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let me know if you find her!
Gosh, I sure hope she hasn’t been at Barton Creek Resort… my company does a lot of business events there and I’d hate to think that I might sit in a chair that has had her sorry a&$ in it.
Austin, if you get the chance…yell out “Where’s MY cookies?”
DVD’d the Today visit, and just ran it with the mute button in use and the closed captioning going.
Let’s just say the closed captioning has had a conniption fit….missed whole segments of her long run on and on sentences. I think SP is not only a killer of the English language/grammar, she may just kill the ability for closed captioning to actually reflect what was said.
PS: Paul Begala/CNN is kinda lacing into SP, calling her a “tabloidist” topic.
PepperzMom (GA), thanks for updates!!!
While I think it would be wisest for Letterman to ignore this hornet…
I do enjoy envisioning him play a little clip from Palin’s speech last week: “SCREW political correctness”.
That’s all he’s guilty of.

If Palin didnt’ mind the SNL incest jokes about her family, is it possible that her real objection to Letterman’s joke is racial because ARod is brown-skinned? I just find her disdain for President Obama indicative of racist views and well, since her base likely shares those views, there’s probably some unspoken racial anxiety about that joke that a “white” girl would have relations with a “brown” boy and get “knocked-up”?
Still reeling over this “keep Willow away from David Letterman” stuff. Why didn’t she keep Bristol away from SNL stuff? She brought her into the lion’s den of SNL smut last October? She must have known about their skits that mocked Todd and kids previously? Why wasn’t she indignant (as should be) and speak out about that?
I don’t buy one thing that woman says. And, her disrespect to President Obama during Matt Lauer’s interview, tells on her. Did I also hear her say something about “ticket” again? She is still living in her VP campaign days, thinking that she is STILL on the Rep. ticket, and is taking jabs at the Democrats any way she can. This whole episode is not about Willow, it’s about her opportunity to slam democrats. Plain and simple, she is a pathetic SORE lOSER.

Wolf/CNN showing taped interview w/ SP right now. Her opening response was one run on and on and on sentence re: natural gas….now on run on sentence #2….run on sentence #3 is shorter.
Here goes run on #4, wow an actual pause after a “but”. #5 is about stimulus: one long run on again…on and on and on and on and not a ‘period’ in sight!
#6 re: Obama: debt, debt, debt…”children pay off debt for us”….er, wasn’t that exactly what Shrubster did with spending in Iraq/Afghanistan???
Oy…I give up…the tone of her voice is giving me a migraine!
How about “Sarah Palin, raving lunatic of Joel’s Army”?
“Palin grouped Letterman in with media outlets “where everything is commentary and facts don’t matter anymore.”
Hmm. Does that include Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh? I’ll bet it doesn’t.
“Asked about the allegations that she plagiarized former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in a speech last week in Alaska, Palin said “that latest incident is absolute nonsense.”
No, it’s not absolute nonsense. This protesting too much over a late night comedian is all about directing away from not only the plagiarism but also the deal with Exxon Mobil that stinks to high heaven.
And now Palin is saying she can’t commit to running for re-election. You betcha. The woman can’t even commit to dinner.
I want someone to find that picture of Willow on the stage in Auburn, holding the baby with her tattered Daisy Dukes cut up to her crotch. And send that to David Letterman. Send the pics of Sarah in her micro mini at memorial day and her drag queen platform spikes, also too.

Letterman should sue Sarah Palin and Meg Stapleton for defamation of character for the manner in which they’ve turned this into a “Letterman is a pedo” garbage.
Sarah Palin is so &$%#& stupid… and a political whore.
She knows well that the joke was about the daughter who was knocked up. And she knows well that that knocked-up daughter (did she conceive under Sarah’s roof?) is a public figure by virtue of being the abstinence spokesperson for Candies.
Sarah Palin knows the Letterman joke had nothing to do with statutory rape. But she’s going to milk it for all she can. In many ways, it’s no different than her “no thanks” statement about the Bridge to Nowhere and her false claim to being a reformer.
That woman would not know truth if it bit her on the nose.
Wow, she is just going to run the media circuit about this during what is clearly her pre-presidential campaign, isn’t she? The worst about it is that since she burped about a gas pipe-line for a few moments while in Texas, she’s probably going to turn in all her travel expenses for the decent folks of Alaska to pay for! What a grifter!
But with so many interviews to give about her self-inflicted outrage, she can’t possibly have packed enough black suits and red corky platform shoes. She must have then, gone to Bloomingdale’s! Dave was right!
Has anyone seen a picture of Willow attending this baseball game?
BTW, I get kinda mixed up myself with all the kids and the names. But to be sure Letterman never said Willow’s name when he cracked that stupid joke. Personally I’d have a little talk with the writer……..
I nearly choked when Ms. Palin mentioned statutory rape this AM…. think Matt Lauer was a little taken aback also. It was obvious that Ms. Palin was locked and loaded this morning……..not a pretty thing to watch. Take care Alaska.

I agree, this letterman issue is a red herring! I posted about this 3 times and it got stuck in the tubes! This is the issue American should be talking about. Plagiarizing!
I plagerized this
Top 10 reasons Letterman shouldn’t apologize to Palin:
10) Who?
9) People that name their kids after inanimate objects and horses have already set their kids up for bullying.
8) Palin is too insignificant to warrant an apology.
7) Sarah’s husband would have been watching the kids, but he was too busy chasing balls.
6) Trig and Bristol….”what is hard math and NASCAR’s next stop?”
5) He thought the kids were at the game to solicit political contributions from the Yankees.
4) Letterman’s been doing the Late Night show since Palin was dreaming of one day working up to hawking snowmobiles to locals in North Faraway Alaska.
3) At least he didn’t mention that Sarah was pressing Arod to date her daughter to get more TMZ face time.
2) Palin went to the game because she thought the “Yankees” would be shootin guns at the Southerners and wanted to see a good old fashioned shootout.
1) One word…”condom”
Bristol is a spokesperson for a sleazy abstinence ad campaign. That makes her a public figure and fair game for jokes. Especially if those jokes hint at her past.

What a spurious accusation those Palins are making against David Letterman! If Palin is going to take on the pedophiles. …

Let’s be clear about something… making jokes does not make Letterman a pedophile. When people, well-intentioned as they might be, use and re-use that label, they add credence to the Palin yapping about Letterman. Technically, pedophiles stick with younger kids, not 14 y.o.’s. Not that Letterman has done that in this instance.
Let’s not add any more fuel to the Palin fire by incorrectly repeating their errors.

I gotta leave town over night, has any of the legs said anything more about the exxon deal? are they all doing a happy dance? If so, I don’t understand why.
I’ll try to check in tonight if I can……..
Just two weeks ago Willow had a very good name (for being part of the Palin clan)
She managed to get through the election seemingly well adjusted and decent.. afterwards.. seemed to go on being a “kid”
Letterman takes a jab (not at her)
If S.P. had one tightened screw in her head she would of ignored it.
Of course her base would rile up and Letterman would of given his clarification anyways.
A week or so goes by.. it is dead news
NOW.. the Palin’s have inserted RAPE, PERVERT, WILLOW
Now Willow is all over the headlines with that stigma
Gee great Mom she has
Now everyone in that clan is branded thanks to Bobble Head

Piper.. never goes to school
Trig.. who’s his mamma/daddy??

Latest Sarah quote:
Palin said “it’s no wonder girls have such low self-esteem in America when a comedian can make a remark like this.”
Do girls in America really have “such low self-esteem”?
I always thought American girls were pretty well-balanced myself, I certainly don’t see them as defective in general as Governor Palin does.
Can someone help me understand?
Agreed. Most girls and women I know here have fantastic self esteem and I personally think understanding humor is one of the big contributors. In addition, most girls (and boys) go through some sort of self doubt, it’s called adolescence and it’s part of the natural process of life, most end up just fine after being exposed to some of the realities of life–I’d even venture to guess those that use humor fare better, but that’s a personal opinion.
This whole thing is now a circus and in whining about Letterman’s inappropriate joke Sarah has insinuated:
-Letterman is a pervert (“Keep Willow away from David Letterman”)
-American girls have low self esteem
-Her mere presence will result in a ratings boost for Letterman
-Letterman used the word or referred to the action of “rape”
-Willow was at the baseball game
-Willow would do something “surprising” if she were to encounter Letterman
-Comedians and sex jokes result in rape and abuse of women (but of course, hateful rhetoric about abortion doctors, liberals, Pres. Obama, muslims, Jewish people, athiests, homosexuals, etc., etc.–those types of words are not harmful and cannot be blamed for the actions of those that listen and nod)

The state House Energy and Resources committees have postponed a hearing scheduled for Monday in Anchorage on proposed North Slope gas pipeline projects and Exxon Mobil Corp.’s announcement this week that it is joining the TransCanada Corp. project.
Executives with Exxon and TransCanada were unable to attend, said Will Vandergriff, press secretary for the House majority.
Also invited were executives with the Denali pipeline project, a joint venture of BP and Conoco Phillips, as well as Palin administration officials.
The meeting likely will be rescheduled for later this month, Vandergriff said.

Sorry – post 221 not 222.
OK Mudpuppies—-I have to leave for work but can someone find that ad from Candies that showed a young teenage girl sitting spread-legged on top of a computer monitor? On the monitor is the picture of a rocket ship taking off headed right to her crotch. Sitting in the chair is a teenage boy with his finger pointed to a key on the keyboard like he just pressed “Launch”. It also appears that he has an obvious erection.
Now…if that is not offensive and vulgar I don’t know what is! And Palin is NOT outraged that her daughter (who is now preaching abstinence) is a psokesperson for this company!!!!!!!??????? I would love to find that ad and place it on every blog we can find.
This phony outrage over Letterman is ridiculous. She is re-writing history with her words, not Letterman’s……he should be outraged that she is lying again.
Thanks for your help. Let’s find that ad.

Take your ire out on Palin, not Alaska. There are very few readers from AK at this blog who voted for her (I’m remembering one or two in all the last few months) and since you were not here for the circus, and must be fairly new to the blog since this has been discussed for months in great detail, a blanket statement about AK voters is not appropriate or correct.
One comment then I’m DONE.
Poor Willow, how it must feel to have your name mentioned all over the USA (maybe world by now) in the same sentence as pedophilia & rape. Please do not google your name out of curiosity.
All because your media loving mother and father had to comment for 2 days in a row on a late-night show’s joke.

Palin has succeeded in getting NOW (the National Organization of Women) to swallow her bullshit.
They’ve inducted David Letterman into their Hall of Shame.
But not Sarah Palin.
Hmmm. What’s up with that?
Palin made rape victims pay for rape kits. Palin took funding AWAY from abused women & young mothers. Palin ran on a ticket with McCain after McCain voted AGAINST equal pay for women doing the same job as a man. (Not to mention McCain’s many tasteless and offensive jokes against women and his wife.) Palin is AGAINST educating young women on safe-sex, Palin is AGAINST protecting a woman’s 14th Amendment right to privacy yet Palin exercised HER legal right to choice when she was 13 wks pregnant. Palin wants to deny ALL WOMEN that same LEGAL RIGHT Palin enjoyed. And now Palin is trying to rebrand herself as the defender of women’s rights? (Except for education, birth control and choice. And maybe voting and holding public office if she agrees with the Alaskan Teabaggers.)
Is NOW just plain stupid? Why did they swallow Palin’s press release hook, line and sinker? Is the person at NOW that makes these decisions a Palin supporter?
I really think we need to bring back the term “ranting lunatic” because if there ever was a classic definition of one, it is Sarah Palin.
BTW, have you heard? She can’t commit to running for re-election. Really? Ya think? She can’t even commit to dinner.

Don’t feel too badly, I live in California & we have Arnold. Texas has Perry…there are a lot of looney governors with a lot of ambition & power & unfortunately they often don’t have their states’ interest at the top of their list.
I really think Letterman should make a Top-Ten list out of this. Perhaps something about Palin’s history of taking the “not so high road” in matters such as morality, respectability, and protocol. I’m sure AKM and Shannyn could add to it, but here’s a start:
#10 Hired a Commissioner of Public Safety who had received an official letter of reprimand from his previous employer for sexual harassment.
#9 As Mayor of Wasilla, supported women by instituting a new policy of charging for rape test kits
#8 Advocates self-esteem and empowerment of young girls and women by giving political speeches while wearing skin-tight skirts and red CFM heels.
#7 Teaches her 14 year old daughter about dignity and self esteem by allowing her to go on political tour wearing Daisy Duke short shorts.
#6 Publically called for “Backlash” against Alaska citizens who question her questionable ethics. Immediately followed by public backlash against a former state personnel official who wrote a letter pointing out that cleavage-baring clothing is not appropriate office attire for state employees.
#5 Supports the rights of women by being publically “annointed” by an African preacher whose church’s doctrine focuses on “ridding the world of demons and witches.” After he declared that a local woman was a witch, she was stoned.
Of course, the funniest thing about this list is that it’s all true, and it might shed some light about the reality of Sarah to those who aren’t normally privy to the day-to-day whackjobbery.

So THAT’s Meg Stapleton?! I’m not an Alaskan (although I have come to admire all of you so much since last September! for what you have to deal with up there!) and had never seen a picture before.
“Meg the Mouth” is an understatement. “Mega-Mouth” is more like it!
Boy, that picture of Meg the Mouth sure makes a good dart-board.
I can’t wait. Dave won’t mention the kids again but due to her dragging this out as she has and adding more on to the BS each time she talks, you know he and his writters are going to bombard her over a serious length of time. She thought it was bad now — she ain’t seen nothing yet.
My attitude — she deserves everything she gets. She seriiously thinks the world rotates around her AH.

Thanks for the link. That’s all I need. Sorry Wolf… no can do…can’t watch. She sounds a little apoplectic & highly excitable. She can’t possibly keep this pace up. She’s starting to stutter…..can the end be near? Obama is trying to solve the world crisis & she is going around making s*** up to get tv time.
#222, June 12th, 2009 at 8:31 AM, rocket Says: “”The only thing more ridiculous than Palin are the Alaska voters who elected her Governor in the first place. That’s the best you can do in Alaska? What a sad commentary.””
We feel very sad, also, too, because we were duped (probably willingly, at the time) much of her personality and behavior was known but our esteemed MSM, the Anchorage Daily Snooze, “protected us” from it, that is, covered up for her. In all fairness, I think we wouldn’t have listened at the time. But things are much different now (I hope) in that blogs force more balanced journalism.
My greatest hope is that we give SP enough rope to hang herself by her own petard.
i sent my comments to NOW…….thanks for the link Shadow Heart (see above).
Even though i agreed with Palin’s initial statements about allowing an atmosphere of humor about sex and youth to be a bad cultural policy……all the statements she made before and after AND her own personal actions with her own daughters, as well as the women of Alaska that actually have been raped, totally discount any usefulness of this entire episode in changing said cutural policy.
The higher ground would have been for her to (a) have not required rape victims to provide insurance information to cover the cost of rape kits, (b) to have fully supported the travel to DC for a rape prevention conference, (c) to have used her governor’s office to promote awareness to young women and the community to the abhorent problem of high rape incidents in Alaska, and (d) kept her daughters out of the public spotlight.
but she didn’t do any of those things when they were appropriate to do…. back when no one was watching her on a national level.
so now that she wants to go national — there is no “do over”. damage is done. this is one woman that won’t forget that point.
A Must-Read article that is ‘spot on’ about Palin’s abusive use of her children!

Oh those comments & damn they closed submissions.
I think Dave should uninvite any and all of the Palins & continue to keep making fun of them. After all he is a comedian & has always used sarcastic humor. He can’t let this horrid family take him down. I suspect he doesn’t write a lot of his material & was on pilot when reading the Top Ten. Making fun of their reaction should supply him with lots of new material.
#42 June 12th, 2009 at 5:11 AM NYHawk Says: “”Anybody who thinks that Palin is making too much of a big deal about the Letterman “jokes” “feud” is completely missing the big picture. Palin and her fans complaining ad nauseum about Letterman’s “jokes” really has absolutely nothing to do with Letterman or his “jokes.” This feigned complaining is all very clever misdirection. It is intended to change everyone’s attention from last week’s disastrous story in HuffPost about Palin having been caught plagiarizing.

And, I would add, to distract from the Gift of $2600 seats at the baseball game, which are reportable, Governor.
So, you can be sure that Palin and her fans will continue to “drag this out” for as long as it takes until everyone conveniently forgets about Palin’s plagiarizing problem.

How many minutes will be devoted to Letterman will she be asked to talk about anything of substance???
Hey BooBooBear!
“…Sarah Palin (of Joel’s Army)…”
Excellent! It says so much more, doesn’t it?
So that’s two of us… any more takers?
Cheers!
Has the CNN Wolf “Interview” aired?
G – any excuse to bring in daughter number 2 into her twitlight. It was only a matter of time – remember – Sarah can’t create opportunity but she will be the first to take advantage of one she sees. Unfortunately for her, her choices are sooooo bad. She loves to be trashy, so she loves to be trashed so she can just be more trashy!
g “real curious what you all think about the bizarre thing Palin added about Willow “reacting to [Letterman] in a way that would throw him off his guard.”
What’s up with that? Is she saying Willow would confront Letterman?”
Palin, was repeating what Meg, was whispering in her ear piece. Someone here actually said yesterday, what if, the comment made didn’t mean Willow afraid of Letterman the other way around.
Meg, watches the blog. Palin, was following Mudflats on Twitter, also too.
#SMR
I’ve read your insightful & informative posts over the last half year & glad you are happy in your new home.
I think she is crying foul too loudly and too late.
She was strutting on stage as the republican “babe” with her family and daughters in tow. I think her own behavior has more of an impact on her daughters self esteem than any words can.
I’m real curious what you all think about the bizarre thing Palin added about Willow “reacting to [Letterman] in a way that would throw him off his guard.”
What’s up with that? Is she saying Willow would confront Letterman? Is she setting up Willow for a press conference? It sounds an awful lot like goading someone on in a playground fight.
I can’t imagine saying something like that about my kid. Palin is a really bizarre person. What is she trying to do here, and what do you all think about this statement in particular?
BTW – sorry, Zack, I wish there was a sarcasm emoticon! thanks to those who pointed out I was being sarcastic.
SMR – you are a traitor! Leaving us all behind to deal with the twit…and enjoying yourself besides – that’s just over the top!
Now that I’ve trashed you for leaving us, I can tell you that sis thought you were just great and she so enjoyed meeting you during your exodus from our fair state.
Just saw this comment on another blog! I can’t wait until this bumbling idiot accidentally calls Trigg Bristol’s son or ‘her grandson’ by accident on National TV.
Well, she is also on the Wolf Blitzer show in the afternoon – and seemingly admits that Bristol has TWO kids, since “she is taking care of her young FAMILY”…
My sympathies to all. I thought the WV gov making coal (that”s right coal) the state rock (yep, rock) was humiliating to me but I can’t even begin to imagine.
I just got off the phone with CBS locally and they gave me the e-mail address below to send comments to about Letterman. I intend to send an e-mail supporting an end to this nonsense…..If Palin wants publicity, let her go on Jerry Springer where she belongs
[email protected]
I watched the interview and I have to say I’m really tired of Palin saying that Obama has a double standard that he has come out and said “hey, my family is off limits you can’t talk about a candidates family members” WHEN HE SAID THIS HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HER AND HER FAMILY NAMELY BRISTOL! Quit it Governor. If you are going to go on national television please get your facts straight. Watch the YouTube footage or whatever you have to but quit making this statement that is clearly false.
NOW has thrown their support behind Sarah Palin. I sent them an e-mail telling them I thought their support was misplaced and why. Anyone wishing to do the same here is the link.
http://www.now.org/actionct.html
I thought Gino’s, (member of Joel’s Army) comment about “Bristol goin’ to college and home takin’ care of her young FAMILY” to be very telling. If she had only one baby Palin would have said …”home takin’ care of her son” instead of “home takin’ care of her young FAMILY.” So, I guess that explains Palin and Tawd being away from home 10 days…no worries, her grandchildren are being taken care of by someone while Bristol is taking her college classes. RIIIIGGGGHHHHHTTTT! Nanny at the house watching her grandkids?
Wonder if Sarah is crossing Matt Lauer off her list, like Gretta. She may be down to Hannity being the only show she’ll do.
So AKM or Shannyn (if you’re stopping by) since you’re Huff Post writers why not write up something with the President’s direct quote from the campaign, then add Sarah’s nasty reference to the President this morning, which by the way was a sitting Governor who not only did not call him President, but who also referred to him as the one to be obeyed. So now we should be just as outraged that a US Governor shows such public disrespect to the POTUS.
We can start publicly demanding an apology on his behalf from Ms. Cuckoo for Cocopuffs!
Maybe even round up some of her other recent insulting comments to my President.
GINO from Hell: Now THAT’s a good question!
answer: Never.
When is GINO Palin going to complain about how Sonia Sotomayor has been treated by the GOP Good Old Boys Club?
Who is this Dennis Zaki? Haha, remind me never to get on his bad side. Love the Pics. Keep ’em coming : D
Has anyone sent that link to the SNL skit insinuating incest between First Dud and his daughters to Keith Obermann.
Keith just loves to defend Letterman and probably would air it on his show.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRXQ2ZueP5c
1)Sarah says that Bristol is in college? What college?
2)She’s a hypocrite for trying to demonize Letterman after allowing SNL to get away with far worse.
3)exposing her whole family to public scrutiny, parading her pregnant daughter and boyfriend around, and not having her kids in school
4)I find her behavior and Todd’s lies to be despicable. That it is her and Todd that are exploiting children
5)charging people.. for their rape kits
6)Would even the Repugs risk putting this person in a position of national responsibility, especially if that position involved contact with foreign nations.
———
all good, TRUTHFUL, points…..does the ‘right’ even care about facts? or do they keep themselves in the dark?…I don’t know how they couldn’t know the facts if they really cared to find out…it’s everywhere out there! If this woman is all they have…our country is in danger (they keep screaming about how unsafe we are)…don’t they know about palin?
This last week or so for the Palin Drama series has opened a Pandora’s Box of revelation. As to SP’s character, the somewhat lack of integrity she demonstrates, her seeming addiction to stretch out her children’s drama in the media for personal benefit. If anyone had any doubts that the woman might be fit for governing any office, this week should have proven otherwise. Has she thought about their (kids) future? Everything that is printed about her kids and her responses will be in the halls of history forever? Is this the legacy she wants? She feeds the trolls, then wants to get interviewed to show her “horror”.
Have read up on many leaders and politicians and they show positive characteristics, it’s refreshing, they seem to want the best, they want to leave a proud legacy. Nor do they once parade their kids on stage anywhere. Alaska seems not to be a priority. Her pre-occupation with everyone’s approval of her, everyone’s love, acceptance of her seems to be her priority. Feeding those media trolls by responding to every slight is HER priority.
Her pony shows are getting nauseating. Please, Lord, that a kind family relative intervene for her!
I just posted my comments at CBS in favor/support of Letterman. He needs to know that we’re behind him. He apologized and she’s just being rotten and opportunistic, as usual.
“The GOP political duo and their spouses exchanged laughs, smiles and small talk as they watched the Yanks take on Tampa Bay. At one point, Giuliani snapped a photo of his wife, Judith, with Alaska’s First Couple.”
Willow wasnt at the game in any search that I can find…
For what it’s worth I have sent a note to NOW explaining that since they have implicitly supported what Sarah Palin is doing (i.e. exploiting her own children) I will no longer even consider joining them or supporting their work. I think it was mentioned earlier that NOW has put David Letterman in their Media Hall of Shame. The joke was in bad taste but if Sarah Palin had not chosen to make it all about her the majority of people in this country would not have even been aware of it. I don’t watch David Letterman, only because it is way past my bedtime but thanks to Sarah Palin I have seen more of him in the last few days than I have in a year.
The Palin train wreck rolls on and on and on…..
Most people in the lower 48 want to kick her a$$ back to AK but, she is the GOP gift that keeps giving.
She is so un-Presidential. She really needs to do the Jerry Springer and/or Dr Phil Shows.
HMMM… #274 – I just watched the video clip.
Interesting that they did not respond to that at all, and yet, here with Letterman, she is up in arms about some MUCH smaller, way more innocent, joke…
Curious, is the Honeymoon over? Palin, went to Matt, not Greta?
@EyeOnYou #3 — I found the YouTube video of the SNL skit you mentioned from last September where they suggested incest between Todd Palin and his daughters.
As you said, just one month later Sarah appeared on SNL thus effectively giving them a pass on incest humor. She’s a hypocrite for trying to demonize Letterman after allowing SNL to get away with far worse.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRXQ2ZueP5c
She wants to protect Willow from Letterman eh? You know, I get the serious suspicion that if Bristol and Willow had been Letterman’s children, they would have been a whole lot better off. Bristol wouldn’t have gotten pregnant, because Letterman and his wife would be the educated, sensible types who warned her about safe sex and instead of taking care of a baby, Bristol would be preparing for college, a real one. Palin and her minions are whipping this up into a frenzy. I do wish that Letterman would really let her have it about her parenting skills: exposing her whole family to public scrutiny, parading her pregnant daughter and boyfriend around, and not having her kids in school, unlike the Obamas, who obviously have their priorities straight. I keep waiting for divine retribution to kick in with this poisonous woman.
I called the Anchorage GOV Office, they don’t know when Palin, is getting back but you can leave a message.
Anchorage Office

@graniam – I was just thinking the same thing. Barack and Michelle Obama – What a true example of Family Values.
Gramiam….Amen to that!
honestyinGov “If you choose to do so like me… I am going to send an email to GINO’s office. Telling her that I find her behavior and Todd’s lies to be despicable. That it is her and Todd that are exploiting children… HER OWN. (you get the idea) http://gov.state.ak.us/”
Problem. No one is there to read them.
Now if you wrote a note on a five dollar bill and sent it to her Wasilla P.O. Box, she might.
delightful…..snark………don’t let politicians tell you mining is a good thing.

“Just how bad has the coal ash situation gotten in the United States? So bad that the Department of Homeland Security has told Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) that her committee can’t publicly disclose the location of coal ash dumps across the country.
The pollution is so toxic, so dangerous, that an enemy of the United States — or a storm or some other disrupting event — could easily cause them to spill out and lay waste to any area nearby.
There are 44 sites deemed by the Environmental Protection Agency to be high hazard”
I look at the two young girls now occupying bedrooms in the family quarters at the White House and I say give a shout out to Barack and Michelle Obama as wonderful examples of how to nurture and protect and rear young children in the public eye. No train wreck there.
I understand there is a email going around encouraging people to boycott Letterman and his sponsors. If anyone has a list of his sponsors, please publish, as I will buy two things from each sponsor!
And this one went to the “Cupp/Hannity” nonsense:
“Cupp called on Obama to condemn the comments.
Hannity agreed with Cupp”.
Is Fox now the new home of The National Inquirer, because between Hannity delivering ‘half-ass’ news with edited film to defend his racist attacks…..and O’Reilly spewing wrath at Dr. Tiller till someone took him at his word and killed the man….then I assume they are doing ‘Scandal TV’ instead of journalism.
Has O’Reilly apologized for contributing to Dr. Tiller’s death?
Has Hannity apologized for slobbering all over Palin during his New York interview? Let’s not even get into the Anti-Semitics he drools over.
When will the boys and girls at Fox call for Bush and Cheney to apologize for their Iraq war sending hundreds of thousands of people to their torture & deaths?
As far as I’m concerned Palin deserves an apology when she apologizes to the people of Alaska for “Abuse by Neglect”!
SMR, you are so lucky to live in Calgary. I am sending two of our analysists there and the Fairmont Palliser looks so great!!
If you choose to do so like me… I am going to send an email to GINO’s office.

It sure would be nice for then to get about a 1000 of these.
If you are local Alaskans… a few phone calls to her Office might be in order.
(would be interesting to hear what the feedback from the operator might be…? )
And when does she slide back into Alaska….?
A nice Airport greeting sure would be nice… especially if I could attend.
A nice sign saying something like ” David Letterman is MY Hero”
(should we have a sign thread just for GINO… those cereal names were FUNNY!)
That David Letterman, what an anit-woman cad!
The next thing you know, he might start charging people who go on his show for their rape kits, eh?
Ot maybe he’ll fire the first public safety commissioner in the history of his show to advocate strongly for a new, much more aggressive approach against domestic violence and sexual assault, a week after he announces such plans, eh?
Or maybe the next thing Letterman will do is get himself blessed by a nutty guy who likes to encourage people in Africa and Brazil to stone women accused of witchcraft, eh?
That Letterman, he’s so anti-woman!
Sent this to Huffington:
Through the years there have been some pretty rank jokes made by ‘late night talk show hosts’ (does anyone remember the Clinton/Monica Lewinsky jokes?McCain?)……….I don’t remember anyone calling for a PUBLIC apology till Palin. She and Dude could have written privately to CBS/Letterman, but I believe she saw this as an advantage and another way to drive her followers even crazier while using her kids…again. How like her? By the way did she ever apologize for televising the ‘turkey kill’ or the wolf slaughters or charging for rape kits?
Clearly I don’t condone the joke about her children, nor some of the raw jokes I’ve heard from other comedians on television. She’s made it worse for her children by not being more adult than Letterman was.
Alaska is in a state of disaster with flood damage, people without food or money for electricity…while Palin is making a deal with the Big Oil Companies and prancing around in her heels being a martyr on tv & going down to Texas hopefully to plan to secede with Gov. Perry, but she is not governing her State. So is this the stance she would take as President? Stand still my heart!
Can’t keep up with all the comments so please forgive me if this has been already mentioned
HA HA HA WA WA WAAAAAAAAAAA
the pee’ers are all upset that their “friends” ie ingrahm and morning Joe
Didn’t know and aren’t reporting that the Gov was on the TOday sho to talk about the pipeline HA HA
didn’t they notice 1 minute pipeline 7 minutes letterman
What a bunch of morons if it wasn’t for the letterman bruha she would be looking out her window in Texas watching the tumbleweeds
Oops didn’t proof read very well.
Would even the Repugs risk putting this person in a position of national responsibility, especially if that position involved contact with foreign nations. Especially a person who reacts as immaturily as Sarah?
Must less put our security at risk with someone who responses to real and imagined slights by slinging insults and lies?
Maybe she figures this is the way to the rapture. Start WWIII by pissing of everybody.
Quick waterboard her she IS a ticking time bomb.
David Letterman is a very Rich and Powerful person in Hollywood. His ties go long and deep. The Palin’s DO NOT want to go on implying that Letterman is a pedophile. He may let the first psuedo accusation go, but if that line of thought is brought up again, the Palin’s may very well be talking to their lawyers again. And this time it will be against someone who can easily take them on.
I cannot take anymore Bible Spice. She is evil, vindictive & gives us REAL women a bad taste in our mouths.
It is sooooo lovely living in Calgary — no Palin here, everyone here thinks she is completely insane, the weather is gorgeous, and tonight I am going to listen to David Sedaris at a local bookstore!!!!!
I watched it, and they imply from Meg Stapletons comment that he is a pedophile, however, in a very judgeMENTAL and condescending way.
I think they are making too much of it, and he did say in his apology he was referring to Bristol, the 18 year old didnt he? But either way it was an apology that was not accepted.
As for the Palins boosting David Lettermans carreer, what a joke, if anything he would boost their ratings, the Palins think way too highly of themselves.
Palin insists she wants Letterman to apologize to all women, for how he degrades them. And, no apologies from them on the fact that, they want to influence teens not to get pregnant, we would be naive to believe that they are serious. Instead Palin implies anyone who sides with Letterman is naive. Geez.
Would even the Rpugs risk putting this person in a position of national responsibility, especially if it involved contact with foreign nations, who reacts as immaturily as Sarah. Must less put our security at risk with someone who responses to real and imagined slights is to sling insults and lies?
Maybe she figures this is the way to the repture.
Quick water board her she IS a ticking time bomb.
a thought:
Letterman invited SP & Todd to the show, or even “just” SP. SHE is the one that said no, because it isn’t safe for Willow.
Uh… Willow was not invited. Only SP, with or without 1st Dud was invited. Looks like Willow has now made it under the bus.
Well done Blue_in_AK…I sent CBS a few myself, to thwart the feigned outrage of the outrageous.
Happy Friday everyone…I’m in need of much Palin purgin’ and a-scrubbin”!
😉
WAIT A MINUTE!!! Which community college is in session right now where Bristol is supposedly attending? (Wouldn’t a new high school grad start college in FALL, not SUMMER???)
And ‘taking care of her young family’???
So, did GINO admit that Bristol is the mother of BOTH Tripp AND Trig???
HMMMM….
Sounds like we need to have psychological evaluations for so-called reporters, as well as for civil service.
Good gawd.
Sarah says that Bristol is in college? What college?
My e-mail to CBS: As an Alaskan who has been watching Sarah Palin’s antics with horror since her nomination for vice president last year, I am in full support of David Letterman in this current dust-up with the governor. Were the jokes in poor taste? Probably, and Dave has admitted as much, but for Sarah and her mouthpiece Meg Stapleton to respond to his apology by implying that he’s a pedophile is beyond the pale. Please do not succumb to the pressure which I’m sure you’re receiving from the Sarahbots. The governor is an expert at playing the victim — in fact it’s her “go-to” MO. Don’t fall for it.
the repubs are SO twisted!

“Yesterday afternoon Glenn Beck and two of his guests argued that Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party were “leftwing”; that “political correctness” led the committed white supremacist, James Von Brunn, to shoot a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC; and that ultimately President Barack Obama is the one responsible for the violence because his “bailouts” and “Socialistic” policies are engendering widespread anger. Beck denounced those who claim he is “churning the pot” because, he says, “the pot is already boiling.”
And, again, responding to Duct Idaho:
I have sent an email to Morgan and received no response.
Let me just say that my comments have been “supportive” with questions about the motivation behind all the speculation. I find some of the speculation to be a little over the top. The passion behind the two websites has been interesting, curious, and somewhat confusing. I don’t know why my questions and comments would be less than interesting to them. But, perhaps, they would not be interesting to their audience either.
I’m just saying that I thought the website was for conversation. I don’t know quite the reason why my comments would be lacking, in their minds. I’ve watched the blog for months and I don’t find them to be out of the ballpark for conversation. It has sort of burst my balloon in terms of reading it anymore.
Dangit. I had been thinking that a “mental climate” of something (as in “jokes” denigrating females or about racism or fear) can result in more of the same (denigration of females, or more racism or more fear). Not good. I mean, how can we claim O’Reilly’s rhetoric contributes to hate, yet give excuses to comments made by the left? (I know, the left isn’t certifiable, but still).
If we want to say that words count, maybe we need to make sure our words say what we really mean, without hatefulness and be willing to speak up when something really isn’t appropriate. Shoot, we need to be willing to even SEE when something might not be appropriate.
Anyway. Now, NOW is in the fray, giving the whole deal more credibility than it should.

I really hate seeing two sides of the same coin, sometimes. It’s a pain and a bother.
Sarah’s behavior is childish and that of a 5th grader. If she wants to talk about a joke that was in bad taste… fine, try doing so in a mature manner. Letterman already agrees. He explained that he was referring to Bristol, who is an adult and a celebrity of sorts on various magazine covers and a national spokesperson for Candies. Bristol is no different from Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and other celebrities. In other words, fair game for late night jokes which typically are a bit raunchy and over the top. Dave also already apologized and admitted the joke was in bad taste.
For Palin to escalate this to Dave is a dirty old man and infer he needs to stay away from Willow is ridiculous. Like screaming fire if an usher uses a flash light in a theater.
If Palin was actually doing her day job and working on a $ 60 billion project, she wouldn’t have time for all the nonsense.
All she truly is doing is trying to get airtime in the hope it will generate funds for her PAC.
Governors are boring. No one cares about another State’s Governor and most people don’t really want to hear too much about their own. Governing is pretty dry and boring work.
Enough! Sarah get back to Alaska and your day job. And please try to keep your family feuding out of the news. Give us a break!

“Among the myriad of disturbing qualities of James Von Brunn, the 88-year-old man who shot and killed a security officer inside the Holocaust Museum on Wednesday, is his apparent belief that Barack Obama is not a citizen of the United States and therefore has no right to the presidency.”
remember this interview where sarah laughed at her female political opponent who was recovering from cancer, as the dj called said opponent “fat” a “b—-“, and a “cancer”?
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4a7_1220377291
(they scrubbed all of the youtubes of this!)
epic fail of hypocrisy.
Scarah has the nerve to acuse Letterman of being a pedophile yet she seems to forget that she campaigned in Georgia for Sonny Chambliss who was shown IN A CAMPAIGN AD feeling up his granddaughter.
Once again Palin sends out a smoke screen obscuring REAL Alaska problems:
Alaska is the # 1 state in the country for Rape and has been for 23 out of the last 30 years (FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm).
Alaska’s reported rate of rape per capita is 2.6 times the national average (FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm).
Anchorage has the ninth highest sexual assault rate of any city in the United States, and Fairbanks is ranked first (FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm).
Fairbanks’ rape rate is 4.7 times the national average (FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm).
AK’s Child abuse rate is six times higher than the national average. (Department of Public Safety/ AK CDVSA Annual Report for FY 2006)
I’ve seen what they HAVE posted– there are people who assume that SP did give birth to Trig and they say it quite vociferously. You can always email Morgan to see why a comment didn’t make it through.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andy-ostroy/the-holocaust-museum-shoo_b_214113.html
“On Wednesday, 88-year old WWII veteran, rabid anti-Semite and racist James von Brunn walked into the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC and opened fire, shooting to death a heroic 39-year-old security guard. Nine days earlier Abdulhakim Muhammad, a Muslim convert, fatally shot army recruiter Pvt. William Andrew Long, 23, in Little Rock, AR. The day before that, controversial abortion Dr. George Tiller was shot dead in his Wichita, KS clinic. And ten days prior to that the FBI arrested a four-man homegrown terror cell that planned to blow up two Bronx synagogues while simultaneously shooting down a commercial jet airliner. There’s something crazy and violent in the air lately, with much of it rooted in an alarming increase in intense right-white hate.”……….
………”Those piling on the Napolitano-bashing-wagon included leading conservatives such as House Minority Leader John Boehner, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and radio blowhard Rush Limbaugh. The attack on Napolitano was so vicious, so partisan and so premature but now she and DHS appear quite prescient, don’t they? Funny how two months and back-to-back murders by right-wing wackjobs can shine a whole new light on things.”

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-papantonio/right-wing-extremism-hist_b_192213.html
“Right-wing extremism is on the rise in America. The similarities between the German madman at the podium then and the freakish bunch promoting their extremism today are astounding. Today, fringe groups are using issues like immigration, race, and big government as a few of their reasons for outrage. Just as they were in Berlin circa 1923, in America today fringe crazies are only a tiny minority with big mouths. But this time hate isn’t only directed at Jews. It is hate that targets anyone who disagrees with this tiny minority’s banal view of the world on topics like religion, politics and cultural mores. There is another similarity as hate politics rises in America. The overwhelming majority of citizens still lack the courage to shout down the hate talk of an absurdly small minority. That silence has been deafening these last eight years.”
Here’s the kicker re the Monegan trip: The conference he wanted to attend was free to law enforcement. He already had the travel voucher to pay his airfare. A copy of said voucher was displayed online somewhere.
As far as I know, he never made it to the conference, thanks to SP. If he *did* make it there, please correct me! And as we all know, he was eventually fired supposedly because he didn’t share her priorities or some such. Insubordination, maybe.

Palin/Prejean 2012! The beauty pagent loser/mean girl ticket!
Showing oneself to be petty and thin-skinned is a sure way not to get elected to any political office, much less national office.
I was worried Sarah would still be squawking when I got out of the shower…
Finally, she went on to promote a very expensive, largely government funded project to get government owned gas to markets to benefit the government of AK, so it can pay more socialist dividends to the people of AK- and ends up with her tag line opposing government control and spending!
Is this woman an idiot? Will anyone call her out on these inconsistencies?
Rhetorical questions, both.
PalinDeception has comments from everyone. But it can take a while for the moderators to get through comments, and they don’t post comments that are disrespectful to other posters.
I say to Dave — Keep it comin’ but don’t have to include the kids for it to be funny!
By the way, I’ve given up on PalinDeception. They seem to post comments only from folks who are FULL SUPPORTERS. And, they wonder why the MSM won’t tap in.
Going after Palin in other ways seems to be the way to curtail her political future. So, I’m all for Dave’s humor!
I think the repubs, conservative talk jerks and Faux news are using this joke business as a smoke screen distraction from their hate rhetoric connection to the Holocaust Museum shooting. That is a real issue. They’re trying to “make” this joke crap into a real issue.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/11/krugman-slams-glenn-beck-_n_214645.html
Are we even sure that Willow was at the game? Or is everyone taking Sarah’s word for that?
Here’s hoping that Rachel or Keith O. actually play the clip where he makes the joke and then ask the audience… Where did Dave use the ‘ R ‘ word…?
They should point out the hypocrisy of all of Palins statements and that THEY are exploiting the Children. As as someone noted Keith should bring up the rape statistics for AK as well in the conversation. Sarah is trying to make this a heated political story… the statistics are part of Her political record.
“The Huffington Post has learned from a station insider that in a sit down with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, the Alaska Republican said she had made no decision on her political future, whether in-state or nationally.”
AAAAARRRGGGHHHHY!!!! So, her claim-to-fame keeps on going, and going, and going…
WHEN WILL IT EVER STOP???
WHERE IS THAT ICEBERG????
She has no intention of doing anything for Alaska as gov again. You can tell, she is starting her petty vindictive streak against Alaska for not bowing and singing her praises. There is not one word about the flood relief, stimulus or attention to anything AK, There has also too not been a repayment for those per diems.
This thing has really got legs (thank you, GINO!). There are over 1143 comments on this Huffpo article so far:
Conservative Columnist Blames Obama For Letterman’s Palin Joke
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/12/conservative-columnist-bl_n_214655.html
Proletterman piece, kind of funny as it must have been written right before thew Palin flap!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31271743/
She’s going WAY overboard, I think it will work against her. As my son stated, “Palin opens her flapper yet again. But her mouth’s twice the size of her brain.”
SP intimated that Willow might take some sort of physical action against DL.
I guess it runs in the family…
(of course DL NEVER invited Willow but the Palins are USED to making sure someone pays for their kids travel adventures).
she probably gets royalties from Ziegler, gotta remember more fodder and sales for the upcoming book is good also, too, you betchya
Kevin Clarkson who’s pro-SP commentaries often appear at ADN’s website has urged people to write to CBS which I immediately did (just not what he hoped for). Click on feedback at the bottom of http://lateshow.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/

Conservative Columnist Blames Obama For Letterman’s Palin Joke
I think it would be perfect if Dave just let it drop and move on to the next topic.
I bet all those old white GOP dudes are rolling on the floor in hysterics.
I don’t think Dave is gonna sweat Scarah’s opinion……..it’s her mental feud.
“He told the audience that “everything’s fine now” between him and Palin, then adding that the Alaska Gov. called and invited him to go hunting.”
The only thing more ridiculous than Palin are the Alaska voters who elected her Governor in the first place.
That’s the best you can do in Alaska? What a sad commentary.
Watched the interview, how many times did she us “statatory rape?” I would feel more compassionate to her voice on this issue if 1) she didn’t use the rape term regarding the joke 2) If Bristol, a legal adult, hadn’t chosen (though likely by mother force) to be the national face of abstiance (after getting knocked up 3) if Palin didn’t dress slutty and 4) if Palin wasn’t the nastiest trash mouth politician in the country.
Does anyone else see the irony that the state Palin is governing has the highest rape statistics in the country?
Why is no one asking her about that? She is concerned about a comedian’s off joke about her daughter, yet women are raped in her state at a higher rate then anywhere else in the US.
She got rid of Walt Moneghan supposedly because he went on a conference without authorization on preventing sexual violence.
So here again she is all talk with no action.
I hope Letterman calls her out on the rape statistic. Rape has a worse effect on self esteem then a joke.
Great catch, petepeta ! I didn’t notice that – the crawdad ! Looks like a picture from a 50’s B-movie of the sci-fi genre – “Attack of the Killer Crawdads” !!
“AHHHHHH !!!! Get this thing off my shoulder” !!!
She pretends to be so hot and bothered about the very idea of rape and abuse of girls, but God forbid she should ever address the exceptionally high rate of rape and abuse in AK…the highest in the US, if memory serves.
Crap!
That should be “admission”, I think.
Dictionary is far, far away!
🙂
Who is taking care of TRIGG and PIPER?
Bristol be damned… she’s an ADULT with her own dilemma.
But what about the LITTLE ONES?
Why isn’t Social Services keeping a tab on this household? OBVIOUSLY, by self admition, Bristol thinks it’s “hard” to have a baby. HOW IN THE WORLD is she tending to Trigg and Piper as well (in a POSITIVE way)?
These idiots disgust me!
Lucky me, I don’t DO morning, so I didn’t watch her on GMA or whatever. 🙂
However, MSNBC is of course running clips and talking about it, so I didn’t escape totally.
What was up with her hair all slicked down flat today? Wierd!
Oh, and let me also say this: I want to kick John McCain in the shin, too for subjecting us all to her.

I liked her remark about the legislature suggesting that the gas pipeline progress has been overstated. She dismissed it as political posturing.
Like she would never do that…. say things JUST for effect.
Bristol-
One sure way to get credibility for your political agenda, is to wrap it in a ‘completely unselfish compassionate plea for the poor innocent victim of …’ whatever.
I don’t know why we are surprised by this, it’s typical Scarah, garner sympathy and outrage for how she’s treated, same old same old, I doubt she’ll ever stop playing this card. Just like a spoiled evil brat.
Palin CAN”T run for president AND Governor because by the time the 2010 election for GOV is over, she will be in Iowa sucking up to fundies.
there is NO way she can pretend to want to be Gov, while she is running for Pres.
She would ONLY run for Gov if she were NOT going to run for President.
Everyone should make an effort to post the real President Obama quote on all blogs you visit,to counter her outright lies!!
quote from President Obama
I have heard some of the news on this and so let me be as clear as possible. I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people’s families are off limits, and people’s children are especially off limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics, it has no relevance to governor Palin’s performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president.
And so I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18. And how family deals with issues and teenage children that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that is off limits
I think Dave Letterman has the “snark” down pretty well after 30 years.

And, I can’t recall who said it in the beginning of the Palin/Letterman discussion but I too also too want to kick Letterman in the shins for opening this door for her. Argh!!
Not me. I’m positively delighted that Dave unintentionally opened this door for her. Remember, she has been carefully confining her interviews to only those “safe” interviewers like Faux News. Now she is eagerly accepting all comers in the belief that she’s got a righteous cause. She briefly uses her kids as an opening to wider political discussion, then she starts falling on her face when she can’t give a coherent or straight answer.
Our prayers are answered, folks. Now her idiocy will be spread far and wide, cable and broadcast, for all to see!
Ok. Figured it all out. She dressed Willow like a hooker, to see what she could fish for free publicity. She hooked Letterman – a very big fish. I think this was planned all along, and they lucked out. I feel that the statements were planned weeks in advance, with only a little tweeking from the mouthpiece. I’s like the queen for a day walk across the stage. All planned, to get her free pub’s. It just seemed like Palin was looking everywhere to get a story – any story – out. Her followers are so dumb, she knew that her fundraising was lacking, and she needed an influx of cash to pay for her half family vacation to the lower 48. So, they came up with this plan, in the hopes someone would take the bait (jail bait, in this case). Her blind followers will pony up more $$, to get the big bad media. I think it was all planned from the git go.
That said, I did take the liberty of sending links to places the palin’s can purchase modest clothing for their daughters. I can see how it must be a huge problem in finding things that don’t make her or her children look like they walk the streets, from shops in Alaksa.

Hmm…..it’s a tough one but I think Letterman has to hit back. I agree with EyeOnYou…..if he doesn’t, it will be interepreted as defeat.
My guess is Letterman will get on with his show. He has nothing to gain from prolonging this.
He gave a prolonged very public apology, pointed out a misintrepretatin on the Palin’s part.
He doesn’t need her issue to boost his audience, but she needs her issue to boost hers.
Let Sarah use her children and PR props so that we all can see.
That’s a great picture of Stapleton. Is she on Quaaludes, and what’s on her jacket, a live crawdad?
OMG, this is hilarious! The self esteem of young women is injured not by Letterman’s comment, but by the unmerited advancement of women like Palin. Oh, and let’s not forget the wonderful message sent to women about their worth and value from pageants, where women are paraded around like livestock, vying for votes based on their physical appearance. The institutional objectification and exploitation of women is and always has been one of the most destructive influences on the self esteem of generations of girls and yound women.
Zack – don’t feel bad, I had to read it twice before it clicked.
Irishgirl – thanks for the morning Joe link, it was v. interesting.
Donna says: “Apologies if people already know it–but Huff just posted that Palin has refused to say whether she is running again for governor.”
She will let them know at the last minute. Possibly too late to nake the deadline for filing. It is her MO. Drama queen.
Ripley in CT “Ok, I just watched (without sound) a little of the Lauer interview. Does anyone else think she blinks wayyyyyy too often?”
Her own damn fault running around the country Pac Partying. Probably tired. WTF is she signing a HISTORIC pipeline deal in Texas for? She is trying like crazy to stay out if AK.
As many here have already stated, Letterman NEVER said the word “rape”.
I don’t see how you could “rape” any of the Palin’s anyway – seems to me they are all more than willing to spread them for anyone. You can’t “rape” the willing.
Besides, Alex Rodriguez is WAY out of the Palin’s league – he would never stoop that low to have sex with ANY of them.
There’s a great line in the Clint Eastwood movie High Plains Drifter, where one of the three outlaws is talking to his old girl in the saloon; “I could do better than you in a 2-bit fancy house” ! (Fits all the Palin’s to a “T” !)
Back at Post # 51, I think sjk hit the nail on the head: Trigg is at home, bonding with his REAL Mother, because Bristol didn’t make the trip to NYC.
Ummm… the day MY daughter’s “self esteem” or “comfort” or “lack of abuse” or any OTHER thing comes from a late night talk show host is the day I sit down with her and have a VERY long talk about where “esteem” comes from!
It comes from within, not from beyond. It comes with confidence in one’s self that is nurtured by… oh, I don’t know… HER UPBRINGING. Her concerned parents that tell her she’s OK, no matter what her views, their support in her efforts, their unconditional love, etc.
Palin is SOOOOOOO frickin’ far off the track if she thinks a lame joke at 11PM is “esteem shattering”.
Then, she mentions the abhorrent Ziegler! Could there BE a more mysogonistic (sp?) idiot than he?
PS: Who is taking care of little Trigg? Doesn’t he need a mommy and daddy at home? Or is Piper caring for him, in all her parenting experience?
I can’t BELIEVE she and Dud would go away for THIS long with only one child out of 5. OK, Track is supposedly in Iraq… But then we have Slutty Bristol – running the house as the eldest. Probably having quite the hey day without mom and dad interfering in the party. Then we have little 8 year old Piper and littler yet 1 year old Trigg.
Bristol made such a HUGE point about how “hard” it is to have one baby. HOW IN THE WORLD is she managing her own baby, her DS (supposed) brother, and a precarious 8 year old?
Or, are they “splurging” on a Nanny when they can’t even afford the bills (legal) that they have?
Again… BARF. Bleccchhh!
Quick, quick, go over to ADN regarding sarah’s interview on the Today show. 24 comments, one “for” Sarah…The rest against & alot of them very funny. They’ll be getting rid of those soon & the C4P will be there to meltdown
about how everyone picks on her & she’s the greatest, smartest governor ever, blah, blah , blah………………..
palin went back to her fav “those hungry markets”. gag.
she completely ignored Matt’s comment about the natural gas glut. the natural gas industry doesn’t need alaska gas because they are very busy trying to produce non-traditional forms of natural gas from shale formations in the northeast, and texas. Exxon has a history of jerking the state of Alaska around – not only on the retribution dollars after Valdez – but also the Port Thomson lease. Palin is pulling a fast one on the Alaskan voters — making them think the gas pipeline is going forward — by arranging a deal with a company that has not produced natural gas these past 20 years when they had the leases to do it……?
oh – and she cleverly talks about the hungry markets in “north america”….not the united states………because that gas pipeline is going to Alberta Canada to be used to produce oil from the Alberta Tar Sands. Only after Canada is through with the gas will it ever be piped to the lower 48 (i believe Detroit was the destination – someone else may recall the exact location) and that was projected at 18 years AFTER the pipeline was built.
i have no qualms about looking far into the future to plan for our nation’s energy needs……..and i realize that seriously large projects like the gas pipeline require extraordinary planning. BUT, i do not like to be mislead that this gas will go directly to the US…..when in fact, it will go to Canada first.
if you notice the graphic on the Today show — it indicates the pipeline STOPS in Alberta……….see what i mean? maybe matt ain’t as easy an interviewer as i once thought…hmmm.
Does anyone else feel bad for Willow? She has always been my favorite Palin.
She agrees to go to the NY event, and now she is the object of GINO’S latest publicity stunt – another child under the bus. Willow seems shy and low-key.
Bet that she has learned to stay away from these appearances in the future.
Poor Willow.
Watch Palin’s full interview with Wolf Blitzer this afternoon at 4 and 6 p.m. ET on The Situation Room.

don’tchya see, Scarah is the EXPERT on all things, anyone with a differing opinion is naive, foolish, gullible, doesn’t know what they are talking about.
forgot the link: [email protected]
Letterman didn’t call Palin or flight attendants sluts. The quote was “Bought makeup from Bloomingdales to update her ‘slutty flight attendant’ look”
Male and female flight attendants wear uniforms. Letterman has seen more then I have. I bet some can get to looking pretty slutty. It’s not saying all the uniforms look slutty. It’s a joke about Palin’s look. Who knows what he saw of her recent public displays. She did look out of sync for a politician and came off as low life in dress for some of the recent video and pictures. Who would she attract with that look and who likes that? Dirty old men. Letterman was not that, he was telling us with humor what she is looking like to others.
http://www.airbaltic.com/upload_pic/outlook/oct-nov/formas.jpg
Whoever she has accompany her that is young or old and dresses in the Daisy Dukes to help raise money was a disgrace. Not everyone will look up the names for all the fleeting images they may see. Her handlers should be able to present a better image. Maybe they try and she is just out of control. Now she calls Letterman the liar.
Hoping to intimidate all critics. She hates to hear the truth but she has cleaned up her look for the day. Now if she can stop sounding like she is on speed.
Ok, I just watched (without sound) a little of the Lauer interview. Does anyone else think she blinks wayyyyyy too often?
Gov. Sarah Palin refused to commit to running not just for the 2012 Republican presidential candidacy but also for reelection as governor of Alaska, during an interview on Friday.
The Huffington Post has learned from a station insider that in a sit down with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, the Alaska Republican said she had made no decision on her political future, whether in-state or nationally.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/12/palin-refuses-to-commit-t_n_214816.html
for whatever Matt let palin get away with sayin’ without trying to correct her or pin her down…I see many cards and letters heading toward the Today show in the near future, right, Mudpups?
ADN SUCKS, lol. Thousandths of comments about TODAY and they only have 21 submissions.
176 BuffaloGal: And, I can’t recall who said it in the beginning of the Palin/Letterman discussion but I too also too want to kick Letterman in the shins for opening this door for her. Argh!!
That was me. I want to kick him with steel toed shoes, to boot. No pun intended 🙂
Apologies if people already know it–but Huff just posted that Palin has refused to say whether she is running again for governor.
As for the Letterman thing…come on: the woman has exploited what she apparently views as her sexuality with the Naughty Monkey shoes, the short/tight skirts, the double entendres (drill, baby, drill), the calculated image of her and the Dud as hot. Candies is incredibly sexually suggestive and both Willow and Bristol are completely inappropriate in their dress. Suddenly, she’s Ma Engels?
I’m all aboard the agreement train: She’s gonna crack. I hope the “iceberg” is her undoing. Timing is everything. She can’t possibly handle it all. Well, not without serious medication…. hehehe
I really dislike that woman. And I have a really poor view of people who say they “love” her. They are clearly uneducated about her activities.
Is it true that Gino will be on CNN this afternoon with Wolfe B . ?

Buffalogal, when I tried to view it over at huffpo it froze up for me too. I started it from the beginning & it ran fine. Warning: she does get shrill
& continually talks over Matt throughout the interview.
============================
c in co – Tried again but it’s still freezing up. I’m going to take it as a sign that my blood pressure probably couldn’t handle it.
I did tho get the chance to listen to Prejean blather on about being setup and everyone being out to get her. As I watched her point and cluck and talk over Matt this morning I got a very real sense that Palin had her ear last night and pumped her all full of “Doncha let him make you sit down and shut up. Get in there loaded for bear. This is the time for the Christians to rise up against the unknowing heathens!” The two of them sound exactly alike.
And, I can’t recall who said it in the beginning of the Palin/Letterman discussion but I too also too want to kick Letterman in the shins for opening this door for her. Argh!!
Love Dave. Palin can’t take a joke either. Call a spade, a spade. Dress like a slut, get called a slut. Pipeline to nowhere. Go home to the Alaska northwoods and stay there.
Agree that she sounds like she is heading for a breakdown. she’s in way over her head.
Zack, lol, it happens, I’ve done it a time or two, no worries.
one more snark about the stupid interview if you can call it that……..did you notice she purposely dissed Matt by not saying his name in greeting him or saying goodbye, jeez is he the enemy also, too, are boogymen behind every door?
it was absolutely not necessarily the usual garbled assassination of anything resembling the english language. i wonder if willow is enjoying the spotlight that her mother has dragged her into tfor her own gain.
what’s that i hear? more piggybanks being busted open for sarahpac?
it’s win win for dave and for sarah, although not for sarah’s family once again. one rebuke would have been enough. ignoring it would have actually been the best way to go is sarah really worried about her kids.
After viewing the clip & reading part of the transcript, this is what’s bothering me. She accuses Letterman of creating low self esteem in young girls, connecting the dots to a degrading statement made about young women that does contribute to some of the acceptance of abuse of young women (sorry, just repeating her spewing wordsalad). Her daughter Bristol recently became spokesman for a program Candies sponsors. To me Candies ad campaigns are exploitative of tweens and are very degrading. I find their ads much more offensive then Letterman’s jokes. Yet, Sarah has no beef about that & apparently applauds the company her daughter represents.
Just tuned in…OMG…she’s such a media whore!
She’s so obtuse; she never “gets” it. You never start a running battle with a comedian. I’ve been watching Dave and yes, there are no more jokes about kids. But now there are increasing jokes, sly comments, and innuendos about GINO herself, and the longer she fuels this fire, the more Dave (and other comedians) will pick up every word she says and do a riff on it.
He actually doesn’t need to say a thing. Last night on Dave, Kathy Griffin told Dave GINO was a moron, and the audience loved it. If she wants national exposure, she’s going to get it…right up the wazoo!

http://www.usmagazine.com/news/sarah-palin-david-letterman-owes-apology-to-women-across-country-2009126
These are two of the comments I posted under different articles on HuffPost
“Sarah Palin has made her national career on the backs of her children.
That she has no more decency than to do that, should tell the “family values” folks a lot about her.
It is Sara Palin that has blown a passing moment of bad taste into a media circus. She has thrown both her teenaged daughters under her PR bus for the sake of her Greater Glorious Suffering.
If she wanted to protest Letterman’s jokes, a letter from her lawyer or her spokes person would probably have elicited a civil apology from the Letterman. And probably a polite invitation to his show. He got a couple of jokes off on McCain but their on air time was polite and upbeat. Sarah would have gotten the same.
Palin and the Dud chose histrionics and gross exaggeration and the introduction of the word rape and the publicity that those acts and word s would bring them.
Sarah’s willingness to use and destroy those whom she uses to help her advance, go back to her earliest days in politics and probably earlier than that. She is a user and a backstaber.
Don’t cry for Sarah, she loves every minute of the attention, cry for her children whose lives are being crushed to death by her greed and ambition.
“There she goes again. Holding her children up for public inspection.”
If she didn’t want them noticed and commented on by the media she should have left them at home and in school.
How many times in the interview did she bring Willow to the public’s attention, to the press’s attention – in the last two days?
Willow has been fortunate so far in that she has stayed below the radar of public scrutiny. Now it is Palin who is continuing to put Willow’s name as the focal point of a problem she, Palin, created and continues to create by wanting and seeking as much public time as she can scratch up, even if it means throwing her own children under the PR bus.
If you have not read Bertold Brecht’s “Mother Courage,” take a look at the main character. She threw her children under the bus of the 30 Years War. Palin’s moment in history may not be as climatic as Brecht’s anti-heroine, but her selfishness is and her children are real, not fictional.
The Palin family is not an example of the best and not even of the average American family’s ethics and morals. She sent McCain’s ratings over a steep cliff and continually embarrasses her own party nationally and has totally alienated her own party in her home state.
Sarah, dear, the only reason you still get face (Mouth) time in the media is because you are cheap entertainment.”

Add to it that by playing the victim, she is stuffing her $$$chest again. Her minions feel so much empathy for her, they have to show it with $$$ contributions to her various PACs.
I wonder if the IRS will pay any particular attention to her? (Including to those $2600/person seat tickets at the stadium?)
How was I supposed to know. Sometimes Palinbots troll liberal blogs. And it’s early, I’m tired.
Letterman DID sorta mock Todd’s first comment. After reading it on the air, he remarked “He should get a talk show”.
@159 SourDough Mullet-You nailed that rgt..
okay back to FACTS Scarah………let the MEDIA talk about you as governor, Exxon, Alaska…….no more distractions, we are not interested in your family.
We all need to get in touch with media outlets, give links to Exxon specific blog articles here on the Mudflats, Halcro, Shannon, Phil, all the AK progressive blogs!! give them information to use in stories! Help them get the real story out there. Let’s rally behind them. Scarah groupies aren’t the only ones who can push their cause.
Does anyone have time to compile a list of the best write ups?
lets blitz the world media with the real issues! not this family drama distraction crap.
Wow, her whole rant was that his words have more meaning than we know and lead to bad bahavior…
Like shooting liberals in church, trying to assisinate the president, killing abortion doctors, targeting Jewish people…Yes, you’re right Palin. There was another horrible remark about women I remember, what was it? OH! That’s right: “If a man can’t rape his wife, who can he rape?!”.
Ewww, I wish I hadn’t watched that! She is bitchy, wouldn’t stop her run-on sentances, seemed to go on thinking she was being attacked and brought up the “double-standard” on Obama’s family versus hers AGAIN!!!!!! Oh my.
@148 and Zack: (For the record, I thought the letterman jokes re: willow/bristol were not appropriate) but by complaining and taunting Letterman, SP invites him to repeat the jokes hence further vicitmizing her daughter. IMO Letterman is done with this and in order to protect Willow will not repeat them. Slutty flight attendant will be repeated. We can hope.
I see Letterman turning Palin into a censor for his jokes and somehow managing to mock her sense of humor and or fair play.
@ Zack #133
“Well, if my child had been embarrassed by a joke on Late Night TV, I would certainly react by making sure everyone in the world who doesn’t watch Late Night TV knew about it, keeping it in the news cycle for three days” (g #106)
I don’t think this is a Palinbot statement. I take it to mean that by blowing this thing up, Palin took a joke made to an audience of late night TV, and now not only that audience, but everyone who watches TV, cruises the internet or reads a newspaper has heard about it. It was a tongue in cheek thing.
I think Letterman should also go after the Dud, the Dud insinuated himself in this brouhaha so deserves everything he gets.
Letterman should make a joke about Todd, pronounced ‘Tard’, along the lines of “The governors husband Tard, who wanted the be America’s First Gentleman, conveniently forgetting his long ties to the rabid anti American secessionist group AIP, who actively encourage their members to integrate themselves into the main stream”.
You get my drift?
Haven’t read the other comments yet, but my 2 cents is that it really looked like Sarah is teetering on the precipice of a nervous breakdown. There was a lot of hysteria in her voice, her eyes were a bit wild, and she was over-animated to the hilt. I’ve seen all those symptoms in people who’ve ended up hospitalized with acute nervous disorders, often prescription drug-induced.
I almost felt sorry for her (and THAT’S serious). It seems like Sarah’s out there running amok without any handlers besides Meg Stapleton, and frankly, she’s probably more nuts than Sarah. I’d bet money that she’s headed for a very public meltdown sometime soon.
She (sp) is lovin every minute of this..^uckin trainwreck her and her whole family…Loved the “charles & Dianna from the Klondike” LMAO
I felt Sarah should have tied her hand down. It kept flying up and pointing. It was annoying to see.
As for her looks, she should have dressed appropriately for the memorial service to fallen soldiers here in Alaska instead of the mini skirt. The comment made about her appearance ‘slutty flight attendent’ might not have been made. There IS a way to be sexy and professional. She missed the mark.
I just saw the very first glimpse of the video on HuffPo, and could not get over her greeting to Matt: “Hey…”
WHAT KIND OF A GREETING IS THAT for a politician? Does she know common courtesy, like “good morning”, or “hello, nice to be here” or some such thing? I cannot get myself to watch more than 11 minutes. Sorry.
Now, after my rant, I will go and read the rest of your comments!
(Oh, and “GOOD MORNING ALL YOU MUDPUPPIES!!!” 😉
Your governor is one of the most insecure folks I’ve ever encountered.

Hmm…..it’s a tough one but I think Letterman has to hit back. I agree with EyeOnYou…..if he doesn’t, it will be interepreted as defeat.
I think Palin doesn’t realise what she was in for when she opened her silly mouth. There is a clear point to be made here about being responsible for what we say – and the right wingnuts have made a living out of irresponsible speech.
lexky – here is a link to NBC’s contact info:

gino can attack a unwed teen father Levi, but don’t attack her unwed teen daughter..
she can dish it out but can’t take it.. here I sit buns a flailing giving birth to another Palin.
Is she ever in Alaska?
Zack @ 133, me thinks you need a sarcasm lesson.
The poster you referenced was being massively sarcastic in a very humorous way.
Slow down and read for content.
lexky
She is not only hammering that Letterman is a pervert (child molester) and that statutory rape is the problem. She also has a child who is afraid of him.
Zack “Well, if my child had been embarrassed by a joke on Late Night TV, I would certainly react by making sure everyone in the world who doesn’t watch Late Night TV knew about it, keeping it in the news cycle for three days.”
Are you a Palinbot?
Zack, I believe the jest of the comment is the whole wide world does not watch Letterman or care about a 5 second joke but Palin, brining her tantrum into the news for three days (And counting) now everyone heard it.
She sure is looking old and haggard.You can botox a lot of wrinkles away,,use collagen for the cheekbones,etc,but that old looking chicken neck will give you away everytime.
Palin is Tracy Flick.
Let’s see what kind of behavior is in bad taste. Telling everybody that your 17 year old unmarried daughter is pregnant is in good taste? Arranging for her to pose with the baby and high school diploma for the cover of People Magazine is in good taste? (Hey kids, get your diploma and a pretty baby too). Having that girl advocate for abstinence when she has not practiced it herself is laughable and invites the worst kind of jokes. If I’m not mistaken, John McCain has made some pretty tasteless remarks about Cindy during the campaign. Where was the outrage about that kind of locker room humor? Finally, no one has produced a picture of Willow at the Yankees game. She is being mistaken for Rudy’s wife.
opps….Craigh = CRAIG
heh
shouldnt she be upset that this is more popular than her precous pipeline?
or is any press good press.
I hope the other late night talk show hosts weigh in……Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Craigh Ferguson, Conan, Kimmel……this could prove to be a very enjoyable time in our lives…..watching the GINO get eviserated on TV every night. Hey – she wants the spotlight? She’s got it!
tomorrow is a palin free day for me, whos with me?
I am beginning to notice a pattern in the word-salad of Sarah Palin (of Joel’s Army).
1. When she refers to “… Americans… “, the subliminal message decodes to “Don’t dare ask me a follow-up questions about what I’m saying.”
2. When she refers to “… America…”, the subliminal message decodes to “I haven’t got a single fact or a single reference which I can quote to justify the lies I am telling.”
Samuel Johnson said “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” This is what Sarah Palin, of Joel’s Army, is – a scoundrel!
She knows that her interviewer will be unlikely to challenge any statement containing a reference to “America” or “Americans”, for fear of seeming to be unpatriotic. She uses patriotism as a refuge! She hides her ignorance behind the name of her country. And, sadly, she gets away with it 🙁
Why Sarah Palin, of Joel’s Army? Well, I think it’s about time this particular menace should receive some serious publicity e.g.
“Sarah Palin, of Joel’s Army, attended…”
“Joel’s Army member, Sarah Palin, said…”
“Meg Stapelton, spokesperson for Sarah Palin, of Joel’s Army, said…”
She’s had it too easy, for too long, about this aspect of her truly sick character. If, every time her name was mentioned, her name were associated with Joel’s Army, the MSM would be forced to pick up on it. She wouldn’t last much longer.
I think that Dave should let her have it full force. If he just shuts up it looks like a victory for Palin and her supporters. They will claim that they won and were able to silence him, and will just go after others in the same manner.
Here’s one comment from Lisa DeMoraes’ column in the Washington Post this morning:
“figjam wrote:
I suspect that there are many of the rational population of the USA who are like me. I could not tell you if it was Zamboni, Monkey Wrench, Venus Fly-trap or any other of her brood who had accompanied Miss Eskimo Pie to the Yankees game.
We as a nation and particularly the media, need to give this sub-literate less attention so that maybe she will get the message, go home to Alaska, crawl into an igloo and not inflict her moronic ramblings on the lower 48 anymore.”

Which do you think would drive her crazier? Any thoughts mudpups?
—-
He should not mention her on air and just send out his lawyers.
oh – oh – wait….I am having a deep thought – but it involves David Letterman so I guess it’s okay. I watched him last night and he only mentioned SP once, a pretty funny one about a hunting invite. He did not mention anything else really except to comment every once in awhile about being in trouble this week. After Stapletongue’s statement, and the interview this morning, I’ve started wondering which would be better: a full out snark assault (a la John McCain’s folly) or not mentioning her at all as if she’s just not important enough to mention? Which do you think would drive her crazier? Any thoughts mudpups?
I think Palin is scared that Willow will do the very same thing that Bristol did, and Ellie May lashed out at Letterman for that reason.
The video is on HuffPo – I couldn’t stomach watching it. So I read the transcript…
A few gems:
*Palin told Matt Lauer he was “naive” if he believed Letterman was joking. Pot? Meet kettle.
*She not only insinuated Letterman was a liar when he said he was referring to Bristol, not Willow, she also didn’t back away from the press release statement which indicated that Letterman couldn’t be trusted around Willow, a 14 yr old. YOWSER.
*She said Letterman’s comments contributed to the abuse of young women. Gee – how refreshing. Demanding someone take responsibility for their words. I expect Palin to call out O’Reilly, Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter, Hannity et al for their hate mongering rhetoric day after day after day which contributed to the latest spate of domestic terrorism we’ve witnessed.
(I know…..I’m not holding my breath either….)
“Well, if my child had been embarrassed by a joke on Late Night TV, I would certainly react by making sure everyone in the world who doesn’t watch Late Night TV knew about it, keeping it in the news cycle for three days.”
Are you a Palinbot? Sarah palin is full of it! He was talking about Bristol Palin who is 18 years old. And, Sarah Palin herself, is not known for her truth telling skills. David Letterman, and many other comedians have been making tasteless jokes, for years. Where was Sarah Palin all those other times jokes were made about young women and girls? No where, that’s where. He’s also made jokes about losts of people’s kids. Yet she is the only one out there using the opportunity to exploit her children, so that she can get free publicity. It was the Palins who threw the 14 year old into the mix. They always do that. Throw the under-aged children into some kind of controversy. Palin should have never made her family a campaign issue. The Clintons were very protective of Chelsea Clinton, and the Obamas are very protective of their children. The Palins just parade their children around, which allows them to be under constant scrutiny. They actually WANT publicity for their children! They made sure Bristol Palin and the grandson were on the cover of ‘People’ magazine, for all to see. It was also the Palins whom used the word “rape,” and then insinuated that David Letterman was a pedophile. Now, the palins have crossed the line. They are slandering David Letterman. The Palins don’t deseve an apology. Sarah Palin was part of the “Hate-Talk Express.” Her kind of rhetoric has caused these right-wing extremists to act out violently. When is Sarah Palin going to apologize to President Obama? Never. She’s a hypocrite.
Letterman should tell Sarah to just file an ethics complaint, then when her complaint is dismissed, he can tweet about it.
the nbc email didnt work for me. help
Is it just me or am I missing something?? For her to make statements saying Letterman’s jokes add to the abuse of young girls is mind boggling. This from a governor of a state where domestic violence is ranked one of highest in the nation – check, incest ranked one of the highest in the nation – check, rape ranked among the highest in the nation – check, charges women for rape kits, check. These were at one time were someone’s “little girls”. She as a woman not only as a governor has done nothing to combat these issues in her own state and she’s going on about a joke made in poor taste. She’s the joke. It makes me wonder what kind of childhood she had that she has this gigantic disconnect from these issues, to me it seems to be more then just religious conviction. The fact that her sister is scared to death of their father, something doesn’t fit, I think the woman doth protest too much. From what I know about abused women from first hand experience is they usually become sexually withdrawn or sexually promiscuous. This is just my observation and opinion and is not based in fact by any means I’ve just wondered this for a long time now her views on this are totally “out there” I’m just wondering where it all comes from.
maybe now is a good time to check into Scarah funneling money into a certain church……….hmmmm? course she’d make it look all personal wouldn’t she, but baby, facts speak for themselves so suck it up, no one is above the law.

“Obama’s move follows an investigation by IG Gerald Walpin of Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who is an Obama supporter and former NBA basketball star, into the misuse of federal grants by a nonprofit education group that Johnson headed.
Walpin was criticized by the acting U.S. attorney in Sacramento for the way he handled an investigation of Johnson and St. HOPE Academy, a nonprofit group that received hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal grants from the Corporation for National Community Service. The corporation runs the AmeriCorps program.”

Lol..I’m sorry, before I comment…that picture is hilarious. She looks drunk.
I watched part of the video (sound off, can’t stand to hear her talk). What’s up with the look? I don’t normally like to comment on a person’s appearance (and SP gives us sooo many other things to work with) but my gosh – that hair!! I know she’s probably trying to hide the extensions that everyone’s been harping about but she just made matters worse. It look’s like one of Phil Spector’s wigs. I see she used a smaller trowl to put on her makeup this morning but still a tad too much blush there GINO dear. Lastly, it’s coming on summer in Texas – and it’s morning – couldn’t she have worn something other that that tired looking black suit that she’s worn to at least 2 other appearances in the last few days? (meow – I know, just saying is all) Just a few shallow thoughts this morning – she really doesn’t inspire me to have deep ones.
How long has she been in Texas? Is that where she was left Trig and Piper? It’s not good enough for a fish picking birth but it works for baby sitting?
Is it just me or does she talk faster and faster and faster with each sales pitch for the gas line?
She will have a great career selling Adderall.
She is clearly out to destroy David Letterman and show anyone who steps across her line of acceptable humor what will happen to them. It is all about “statutory rape” because she says so. Now Letterman’s name is synonymous with statutory rape. Wouldn’t old “I told you so” love to see him go down and for CBS media to eat crow?
Zeigler is no doubt working on his next documentary.
Anybody remember Johnny Carson? My dad used to love to stay up late and watch his show. We couldn’t because of the adult content. Johnny could be extremely lewd and crass, often just by his facial expressions.
Once again, sarah makes a mountain out of a molehill just to extend her 15 minutes of fame. I hate how these people are so quick to take offense, as if everything’s about them.

Also, too, I declared Alaskans, are in outrage over Palin’s, antics, please do not judge us by her actions, Etc..

Thanks for the email address…just sent a comment to NBC.
Full interview about her wonderful gas pipeline(she acts like the gas is scheduled to start flowing tomorrow) at 4pm EST on CNN. I’m sorry Alaska!
Vote now stand at 47.1% Yes and 52.9% No. The yes vote has been climbing steadily now for a while. Somehow we need to get the No vote out there more.
Who’s house was Palin, at giving the interview?
#111 John (Canadian Mudpuppy)
Just voted….the no’s are going up.
Oh for heaven’s sake. He’s a comedian. He makes bad, tasteless and inappropriate jokes – and admits it. He never said RAPE and he never said “Willow” – it was a dumb joke. No one takes his Top 10 seriously. It’s for cheap laughs as he says.
If she doesn’t like it, she’d better get out of the public forum. Parading your children around for politics is pandering and (gasp) could be construed as prostituting them for votes. The word “prostitute” does NOT have to imply sexual purposes. The word prostitute is descriptive of what SP does to get political interest. She prostitutes all her kids. Including the little one who appears drugged on a daily basis.
I am sending my comments about this interview to NBC. If anyone else is interested, their e-mail is:

One thing I noticed on the Huff Po link to the video is that–before you click the play buttion–the picture of SP has the rectangular block with the “play” button right over her mouth. It looks like her mouth is taped shut. That image gave me a great deal of satisfaction.
Has anyone posted this vote on the HuffPost. It could make a big difference in voting.

Well, if my child had been embarrassed by a joke on Late Night TV, I would certainly react by making sure everyone in the world who doesn’t watch Late Night TV knew about it, keeping it in the news cycle for three days.
She will probably get more tv time out of this. Fox will surely have her on soon.
I think this was Sarah at her most “dignified” and she presented herself as a snarky teen-aged member of her high school’s Student Council. Naturally, she can’t be expected to address Barack Obama properly as “President Obama,” because snarky teens don’t speak in that manner.
David Letterman stated that he was referring to Sarah Palin’s 18 year old daughter and Sarah brushed that off – essentially calling him a liar. I believe Letterman 100%. The joke was tasteless, but Letterman clearly was not referring to Willow, who is 14. In this sense, Sarah is worse than many teens, who would not willfully distort what people. It’s a blatant form of dishonesty.
since palin’s followers are bitter, shallow, ignorant ppl…they are probably proud of palin’s pitbull comments
This is such conjured up crappola……who wants to start their day putting their foot through their TV out of disgust & anger.
I thought it was interesting that someone made the comment, Alex Rodriguez hasn’t come forward to ask Letterman to apologize to him!! That joke would do him more “damage” than Palin’s daughter(s)….

Does anyone else see Sarah Palin’s way of doing things
very Cult Leadership like?

Buffalogal, when I tried to view it over at huffpo it froze up for me too. I started it from the beginning & it ran fine. Warning: she does get shrill
& continually talks over Matt throughout the interview. She just makes
me so sick. Will she ever stop dragging her kids through the mud? With all the current domestic terrorism going on I think she should refrain from asking anybody to “rise up”. I think sarah, rush, seany, billo & others of their ilk
should feel some responsibility for these wingnuts going over the edge. It’s like they’re prodding at rattlesnakes….

David Letterman apologized for his bad taste -it was Sarah who inferred it to be Willow and Todd who added the rape word.

And I want to know why we never see Trig any more? She carted that baby around with her everywhere during the campaign, he was her badge of honor and she never missed an opportunity to shove him in our faces. Yet she didn’t take him to the anti-abortion thing a few months ago, he stayed in the car at the recent teabag thing, and now he’s MIA again. Is it because his real caregiver, Bristol, now having Tripp can no longer travel with them? Because he can no longer reasonably be dosed into a comatose state? What’s going on?
…………. me too, Candy – I want to know specifically why Trig Palin was kept away from his mommy’s acceptance of an empty award for her work for people like TRIG!
she’s saying other’s are naive????
I love Matt’s “can you really connect the dots”……LOL.
double standards…….”the candidate that must be obeyed”……..poor Scarah, she just can’t get no respect.
why does she not realize EVERY time she squeaks and squawks about “her” treatment “her family” it makes her look more and more STUPID and like a big cry baby that can’t handle it. Gawd, play what you said about Hillery Scarah, over and over and over! Can you discuss something? can you exchange ideas with a person? can you show that you can consider another viewpoint?
Then explain to the citizens of the United States exactly how this pipeline is going to work, since my tax dollars are going towards it, just how good a deal have you struck for my dollar? I want details about that issue, not your famdamily, I’ll gladly not talk about them if you won’t, deal?!
You bug the crap out of me, you are SO closed minded it wreaks!
She is such a tool.
I feel defeated and revolted by Sarah Palin, I want to scream she is just twisting and inciting a fight against Letterman. I find hard to believe that Matt or any other journalist doesn’t know the Palins modus operandi by now.
Truly a bad idea to watch her spewing her vile but AKM made it a tour de force now the her lifting opinions from other has been exposed….did you noticed how she went on to reading the email that give her that idea about young girls and low self-esteem?
how old is willow. she said this morning she was 13 right? ive also heard 14 and 15.
ive never been able to comment at imm. min.
Just came back to house to ck. in……..the drive time local rock n roll shock jocks are tearing her and Todd to shreds…..they don’t know she’s here……….I’m furiously hitting redial to tell ’em…gonna give the ‘flats a shout out if I get on…….if she hangs today….I’m finding her…digital camera is charged….She probably will shut down the facebook……..they keep givin’ it out…..a bunch of like-minded people listen to these guys…….goin’ back out…….I’m findin’ the beotch….
I’m watching the interview now, and Ellie May is so stupid, I feel so sorry for Alaskans that you have her as your governor. Letterman was talking about her unwed mommie daughter.
OMG, she needs to diagram one of her sentences to realize she talks like a crazy person. Oh that’s right she is crazy.
My next thought is this: Does Levi have a little bro who’s spending far too much time behind closed doors in the Palin household? (with Toddy at home, playing mamabear?)
Well I just can’t bring myself to listen the video with volumn on. Her remark re: Willow was uncalled for. She more than insinuates that Dave is a “dirty old man.” Two things happened here re: SP and Staplegun. 1) SP issued the “we wont go on Letterman (ny-nah) ” and added the “plus Willow zinger” and Meg in all of her lack of wisdom, abilities and control let it stay; or 2) Meg spoke to the governor and they both thought the little “Willow Zinger” was appropriate or funny or both. Meg has no control over this woman. Any professional “spokesperson” would have said “Hey Sarah this is over the top” or “Hey sarah you’re vicitmizing WIllow in the same manner you accuse Letterman of victimizing her” …or “Hey sarah…I am not issuing this statment.” They both love the limelight. I would love to know how they ever paired up as a team. My bets are Stapes is already looking for work in the lower 48.
The mid-screech pic of Staplegun is priceless..any way to get it over to HuffPo?
Is Willow now a 14 yr old hoochiemamma Jr. who is also an alaksan gang member, and would take our a high powered rife out of her daisy dukes and help David L meet his makers? Is THAT what this bimbo is saying? This woman is really, truly an idiot. If someone had said something bad about my 14 yr old, I’d be upset, but not THIS much. Hummm. me thinkest you protesteth too much. Wonder what is REALLY going on in the Palin household, that Willow could not be trusted to stay back and play house with Bristol?
Geeze. Get her OFF the stage, get her parenting lessons and keep her screeching voice and idiot ‘idea’s’ OFF the nataional radars.
Reading as I usually do here every morning before I get down to work (thanks as always to AKM and all the posters for their insight, wit and info–you make my day!!)
IMHO, the Palins are no better than the Gosselin family of the reality show Jon & Kate + 8 in using their children to stay smack in the limelight. Their added comment on keeping Willow away from Letterman was over the top after their opportunistic whining about the Late Night kerfuffle. Dave is a comedian. They are very, very willing public figures. Ms. Wasilla was pushing her brood on the world from the very start–wouldn’t it have been, uh, TASTEFUL for Scarah NOT to parade Bristol, Trig (and Levi) around like show ponies during the campaign? And for young teen Willow to wear something a tiny bit more modest than hot pants at public appearances last week? ‘Nuff said.
Now, Dave should take the bull (s**t) by the horns and start presenting the REAL SP to his audience. Perhaps his writers should read Mudflats and work the some of the very informative material found here into what I’m sure will be many future references? Just a suggestion . . .
Hey mudflatters. I am not able to comment on Immoral minority website. Anyone else having this problem?
Almost not able to read the comments and my software locks up and shuts down.
The lady in the picture looks like Pee Wee Herman – and I like Pee Wee Herman. Oh, her name is Meg S. and her job is to be Sarah Palin’s interpreter. Got it.
When politicians’ children who have become adults go out in the world and use their celebrity status to make money by expressing their opinions, they lose the mantle of protection afforded to “politicians’ children” and should be treated as the adults they are. This applies to “stick grenades up the babies’ butts” Reagan and to “look at my cute baby and all the attention I’m getting because of him but don’t have sex” Bristol.
The hypocrisy of Palin using her looks and sexuality to attract followers, but then acting outraged when someone calls her slutty is a stunning example of cognitive disconnect. What appalls me is how many feminists are falling for her take on this. We need to be able to openly confront issues like a woman playing on her sexuality or the awkward details of childbirth. We can’t treat it like “secret women’s business” and still expect to be treated equally.
And I want to know why we never see Trig any more? She carted that baby around with her everywhere during the campaign, he was her badge of honor and she never missed an opportunity to shove him in our faces. Yet she didn’t take him to the anti-abortion thing a few months ago, he stayed in the car at the recent teabag thing, and now he’s MIA again.

i guess there is an email going around asking people to boycott letterman and his sponsors. ive been waiting for this.
Aussie Blue sky: that this woman is obviously spending zero time with her mentally handicapped baby.
that baby may be with its mother
Bristol
she said, “willow has had enough of these comments.”
Really?
I haven’t heard of any and I am pretty up on Palin gossip.
Maybe she shouldn’t drag her along and let her wear short shorts?
someone should email this to Scarah, so she can get it straight…….
Exact quote from President Obama!!!!
“I have heard some of the news on this and so let me be as clear as possible. I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people’s families are off limits, and people’s children are especially off limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics, it has no relevance to governor Palin’s performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president.
And so I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18. And how family deals with issues and teenage children that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that is off limits.”
She sure didnt care enuff to supervise the candie girls sexual and substance activities while she was plotting to become the leader of her insane little world. Obama said “families are off limits”. BUT NOT TO COMEDIANS! …And certainly not to a “family” that parades around in tabloids, gives interviews with babies that make no noise or movement to faux news and issue PRESS RELEASES from her official office on the status of her kid and her baby daddy’s educational and job status.
DL never mentioned anytihng like rape, or statutory rape, which could have happened to Bristol with Levi if it happend in another state. She was 16 or 17 when she got CAUGHT banging Levi..OR did she start bangin’ at 15 cause dear gov IS STATUTORY RAPE FOR REAL!!!!
I am outraged at their usage of their kids, and have the gall to use ’em some more!
whew! Valium time….
When Lauer asked if they could talk about the feud with Letterman SP said, “if we have to” but she perked up like my dog when I ask him if he wants to go for a ride.
Matt Lauer should maybe apply for a job at Faux News, the way he just let Palin lie – she said Letterman’s jokes were about statutory rape and that Willow was at the game(where?). He also didn’t even notice how disrespectfully Palin said the president’s name and omitted the title of President. I am so infuriated. I will donate to anyone that initiates a recall of Palin.
I watched the interview this morning while getting ready for the day, so I had two TVs on. The 2 sets are a few seconds off so it was like listening to psycho stereo. My groggy 15 yr. old came down, realized who was on TV and said “Gosh Mom, it’s like a word salad buffet.” He’s so smart.
I wonder how many people thought, hey, didn’t she brag all during the prez campaign about the pipeline being built? now it’s going to come out it’s not even been started, hello……..

i read on immoral minority that there is no pictures or video of willow at that baseball game. if thats true why would they put willows name out there themselves?
________
Yes, they put Willow’s name out there. Letterman never mentioned Willow’s name and so far as I know still hasn’t. He did point out, AFTER the fact that he was talking about Bristol and he had to read her name off a card. And to the best of my knowledge no one has come up with a photo or any video showing Willow at that game.
Let’s not forget that not only did the Palin’s put Willows name out there but they included all their daughters names on their statement. Or Todd did anyhow. Instead of just saying…my daughters, he named each one of them personally.
Tell me they aren’t using these kids.

Every week Dave’s Friday show is taped after he tapes his Thursday show on Thursday.
——————–
In Australia we never ever get to see a Friday Letterman show because we have Australian Rules Football (the single most exciting game in the world) instead. Even outside the football season they never have Letterman on Friday. Now I understand why. Ironically, my team is the Hawks. Thanks, NYHawk! I love the Hawks and I love NY! 😀
Yes, I could not believe how she threw Willow in there. Weird mother!
From the story on Huffington Post:
Later, Lauer pressed Palin to explain a line in a statement from her spokesperson that “it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman.” Lauer asked, “Are you suggesting that David Letterman can’t be trusted around a 14-year-old girl?”
“Hey, take it however you want to take it,” she said. “It is a comment that came from the heart that Willow, no doubt, would want to stay away from David Letterman after he made such a comment. And you can interpret that however you want to interpret it.”
“Well is that not perhaps in bad taste also, governor?” Lauer asked.
“No, it’s not in bad taste,” she said. “Hey, maybe he couldn’t be trusted because Willow’s had enough of this type of comments and maybe Willow would want to react to him in a way that maybe would catch him off guard. That’s one way to interpret such a comment.”
What the heck? The stuff she’s saying here about Letterman is crazy enough, but what is she saying about Willow with this last bit? Is she speculating that Willow would do something (what, I can’t imagine).
She’s shoving Willow into the fight herself, she’s doing a classic, “Let’s you and him fight.”

FYI: Every week Dave’s Friday show is taped after he tapes his Thursday show on Thursday. (So he tapes two shows on Thursday so that he does not have to go to work on Friday.)
So, any response from Dave about whatever Palin said today will have to be part of his Monday show.
How can she say that about ‘he who mut be obeyed’, not giving him any credit for what he actually said

http://www.newsvine.com/_question/2009/06/12/2922412-should-david-letterman-apologize-for-comment-about-sarah-palins-daughter
Does anyone else see Sarah Palin’s way of doing things
very Cult Leadership like?
Be afraid of the government (calling it “the Feds”), remarks about Obama (today saying “the One who must be obeyed), don’t trust all the corrupt politicians in Washington
Be afraid of the media. Don’t trust them. Letterman, Couric, two people that have been respected and followed for many, many years by people. Calling Couric snobby and played with the tape to make her look bad cutting out parts, Letterman is now a Pervert she wouldn’t let her daughter near.
Get people afraid of the government and not watching mainstream media.
Hello?
With her many appearances / personalities she could be anyones mom (hockey mom and slew of kids), neighbor, friend, sister, or lover (her red shoes, hair extensions.. ect..)
She is governor of Alaska.. a small remote state where a large population is native and therefore desperately dependent on her, hands out fatty checks each year to make herself popular, she wants to drill at all cost no matter the environmental consequences but will only prove to make her more powerful (money)
And tie all this together with sharing a feel good syrupy bible message tied in with good time America in the 50’s apple pie, hunting, church going… country music
I know it sounds silly… but hello?
Oh, I can’t wait for AKM to ‘rise and shine’ this morning and give her take on this.
Typical sarah, although I was surprised that Matt was as hard hitting as he was (guess he was trying to look like a real journalist).
As to her appearance, she looked like a man to me.

The sad thing about this constant running around all over the country, which has exactly zero to do with here elected job, is that this woman is obviously spending zero time with her mentally handicapped baby. This is very detrimental to this child’s social and mental development, which is critical during the first few years.
This woman made the choice to have this baby, but is not willing to spend the time and energy necessary to give him the best life possible within his ability. This child will pay for his mothers negligent for the rest of his life.
————————————————
Thank you, riley, also too. I would like to re-inforce this fact, also too.
Where is poor little Trig’s mommy and daddy?
i think dave might let this one go. i hope he dont. i guess we will find out tonight. im following dave on twitter now. everybody watch tonight if you can
and why did Matt let her get away with saying Dave used the word rape, he didn’t did he?
The Palins won the “Attention” lottery and they are milking it for all it’s worth. This is the best thing they could have wished for to have everyone see her and give her money. Her base will agree with her but intelligent people will see what she is doing and shake their heads.
anti anti…..good response to this “female self esteem image” bs she’s using as her excuse. hey scarah, I’m female and you don’t speak for me! get over yourself.
“why would they put willows name out there themselves?”..because Bristol has already HAS been knocked up. Where is Trig been for this entire trip of mama bear? Summer camp with Piper? How can she leave him for all this time? Or is his real mom there to do the work?
If she wants her family to be ‘off limits’, she should stop parading them around dressed like little whores or otherwise.
BTW: Letterman didn’t let up on McCain. It was like an every night thing there for a minute. I bet he doesn’t let up on THIS psycho case, either.
And well he shouldn’t. He should go ON AND ON AND ON making fun of her, her remarks, her accusations (Willow shouldn’t be around him!), etc.
She is no match for Dave and she is “naive” to think she is.
Stupid, blathering idiot!
i just have to laugh at the way she totally changed her appearance from over the weekend to what we seen this morning. i wonder if there is a way dave could get her for slander. she basically called him a child molester.
did someone dye her eyebrows? they were scary at first……….very thin also too.
that evangelical “manifistations” word, gag……I don’t think we need to worry about her running for prez, but we may have to have remotes glued in hand to change channels or turn off the tv for the next ? years……go to faux scarah, those folks love you.
groupies are saying she uglied down, got all stark……they want her pretty back.
Well from everything I’m hearing from all of you that saw the entire interview, maybe I’m blessed to not be able to get the dang thing to load.
I found a few articles that are up about it already and it sounds perfectly awful and typically Sarah , only more so.

If she is going to drag her child onto a stage, dressed as Willow was at the event, she should EXPECT disparaging remarks and so should Willow.
Willow is plenty old enough to determine that showing her butt cheeks peeking out from her shorts is SLUTTY. Sarah is old enough, also, too.
Oh, and Sarah is also too the ADULT and should have DEMANDED that Willow dress more appropriate to the event and publicity it was bringing on.
To have a comedian pick up on the whole Slutty Palin Household isn’t really a far stretch. The dots are connected quite easily. Much easier than Palin’s round about way of connecting them.
I confess… I had two, maybe three gulps of last night’s refreshing adult beverage in the fridge. I threw it down, waited for it to hit the blood stream and THEN watched the clip.
I was scared. I drink when I’m scared. 😉
She is such a liar! I distinctly remember President Obama saying that the families of all the candidates, including the Palins should be left out of things. How covenient for her to omit that. Who the hell does she think she is?

It is going to be very interesting to see how much more Palin is willing to drag this out (the Letterman Feud).
__________________
Anybody who thinks that Palin is making too much of a big deal about the Letterman “jokes” “feud” is completely missing the big picture. Palin and her fans complaining ad nauseum about Letterman’s “jokes” really has absolutely nothing to do with Letterman or his “jokes.”
This feigned complaining is all very clever misdirection.
It is intended to change everyone’s attention from last week’s disastrous story in HuffPost about Palin having been caught plagiarizing. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-dunn/palin-plagiarizes-gingric_b_212228.html)
And, as an extra bonus, the Palins get to play victim again and keep their name in the news.
So, you can be sure that Palin and her fans will continue to “drag this out” for as long as it takes until everyone conveniently forgets about Palin’s plagiarizing problem.

Lauer really got her on questions regarding the gas pipeline.
And she is sooooo defensive regarding the Letterman debacle. And she is whining and bringing up Obama and the campaign. And keeps going on and on…
There are 30 pages plus of comments already.
You won’t remember that I accused Mrs Palin of actually having hair extensions. What reasonable governor would do such a thing?
Wanna see those hair extensions, strand by strand?

How ‘presidential’ is this?
Well. Well. Well.
What is this nonsense of which you speak?
Oh Sarah.
I too am the mother of daughters. And I thank you , Sarah ,for providing a most excellent tutorial on how one should never respond to a perceived insult. You are, without a doubt, the meanest girl in high school. In the words of your bloated, pill-popping, gassy mouthed boyfriend Rush, may you fail. I hope you fail Sarah. Absolutely not necessarily so.
Not since Barack Obama has anyone made a Democrat look so good.
The Palins let their fourteen year old daughter dress so provocatively on stage at the autism event, and now they’re indignant? Willow’s outfit was more appropriate for a Candies’ Abstinance rally.
If Lettergate makes the MSM finally pay attention, fine with me!

I hate when she describes Alaska she goes into “tourist” guide mode, “our great beautiful plentiful natural gas” and BS like that. Need more coffee. She just wouldn’t shut up and answer Matt’s questions. She worried about how women get perceived and she wanders around the country and her state with the short skirts and red ho shoes???? Gimme a break.

I wish twitter would hurry up with the new GPS realtime locator feature ……….if she tweets……..it shows where she’s at
Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh! Late getting into work because of Blamey Whinehouse. What bizarro stuck-in-junior-high-school world does this woman come from? Aaaaaarrrrrrggghhhhhh! I need a drink! It’s gonna be a long day.
exactly CO Almost Native……..imagine the righteous indignation over international affairs! yikes.
Aussie, that knuckle thingy bugs me too!
ny dem
she is in the video of palin giving a speech with a white sweater. shes on the left you cant miss her. her business is almost out for the world to see.
Dang! The video keeps stopping 2 minutes into the interview. I think my computer is taking a stand against her now.
However, in those two minutes I noticed that 1) Like Memphis NY noted earlier, she looked like an actual Governor and 2) she was much less shrill and, for those 2 minutes at least, she was discernible . I was shocked to actually be able to understand what the heck she was talking about. (but, it was only two minutes afterall. i’ll have to catch it on youtube later )
My theory ? I think she’s been paying close attention to the likes of Mudflats and all of the other great sites that have her totally pegged and she’s reverse engineering , in a way. By watching what we’re all calling her on ( her wardrobe, her attitude, her word salad, etc) and she’s making changes. She’s toning her voice down, she’s going to start dressing more professionally, she’s paying attention to attempting to speak in proper sentences. (good luck on that one!)
I’ll bet she’s even been going over Audrey’s time lines and photos over on Palin’s Deceptions and is coming up with stories and explanations for every situation. (this morning I even entertained the ponder that she might be actually having “empathy belly” photos staged around the house and yard so that she can produce candid pregancy pics at some point)
(o damn – i probably just gave her a new idea!)
People people, please. Calm down. It’s not Letterman’s fault, it’s not SP’s fault. it’s Obama’s fault http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/12/conservative-columnist-bl_n_214655.html
The “slutty” remark must have hit home – for awhile. For the Today show interview, SP is made up to look like the stereotype of a prudish old maid school teacher. Can she be more obvious? LOL!!! The whole interview made me sick – her answers & holier than thou garbage. Matt Lauer asked some to-the-point questions but she was riding high on her wonderfulness. Please – OH – please, let the iceburg grow & come crashing down…….
Man oh man is she a TOTAL HYPOCRITE!!!! Matt asks her to explain the comment about keeping Willow away from Letterman…, he says “are you saying that Letterman can’t be trusted around a 14 yr old girl? and her response…”Hey, take it however you want to take it”…”it is a comment that came from the heart that Willow would no doubt want to stay away from David Letterman after he made such a comment and you can interpret that however you want to”. Matt then asks “is that also not in bad taste Governor if you are suggesting that a 62 yr old man couldn’t be trusted” and Palin responds..”no it’s not in bad tastes..it’s not in bad taste”…and then goes off on reading an email from her blackberry someone sent about people needing to rise up and take a stand against these kinds of comments that lend themselves to easier acceptance of abuse…when Matt gets a disbelieving attitude and asks how she can connect the dots between a joke and abuse of kids, …she finds a way to do it by claiming that these kinds of comments allow people to be more accepting of poor treatment of girls which in turn leads to abuse. I notice she is picking up on the habit of overtalking when she doesn’t want to listen to the other point of view so…
That was not our Capitol grounds in the background…….It’s all blocked off down there today…….Robbie Knievel is jumping a bunch of beer trucks on a motorcycle tonite. It looked like she was at one of the high falutin’ country clubs west of town. I’m on the case……..I want to yell at her before she slithers out of town……….
That’s correct lexky, it was Rudy’s 20-year-old daughter Caroline at the Yankee game with her Dad and the Palins.
Does Meg really look like Bristol with a haircut or is it my imagination?
Aussie, I noticed that also, too. She had a school marm librarian look on, LOL……no disrespect to marms and librarians. She didn’t pull anything new or authentic off in my eyes and still came across as the victim, she should lose that chip on her shoulder and act like a rational adult. She’s so……….creepy.

I, for one am going to stick by my guns and not waste time on this person. The best we can do is ignore her existence just as much as possible and use the system to see that any credible evidence of her misdeeds is brought to light and she is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Anything else is a pure waste of time and only serves her aim to keep herself before the public. I hope David Letterman has the good sense to leave this entire mess in the dust and not respond further to her thirst for publicity. People are already beginning to see her for what she is. Let the woman shoot herself in the “Franco Sarto red high-heeled cork shoes”, and not allow her to distract us from our purpose, which is to mitigate the damage she has done to Alaska as much as possible until she can be defeated. I am getting somewhat uncomfortable at the tone of remarks about her lately. I feel like we are letting ourselves lose sight of what really matters, Alaska. In the scheme of things, Sarah Palin is a flash in the pan. Her 15 minutes has been over for some time.
Sorry for the rant, but I have seen and heard far too much insanity on the TV and radio this week. This is just too much!

That was much worse than this in my opinion, but Palin had no problems doing the forgive and forget with that situation and happily allowing herself to be used and mocked on the very same show just a month later.

Excellent point. Today comes on in 15 minutes here. They’ll probably tease for a bit. KO went after the Palins last nite.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/#31275917
I want to kick Letterman in the shin for giving this Chooch another reason to be on the airwaves. Shame on him for bringing her more press.
I loved the top 10 list, but it just gives her fodder for her victimhood. Hopefully, the more intelligent ones of “them” will understand that he’s a COMEDIAN. Not like the Queen, who wouldn’t understand subtlety if it struck her in the noggin. HARD
What a spurious accusation those Palins are making against David Letterman!
If Palin is going to take on the pedophiles, which I would applaud, she could start in Alaska where the rate of child sexual abuse is high.
Besides, I noticed there were no objections to Eddie Burke salivating on air over Bristol during her abstinence tour radio interview with him. He’s much closer to home and therefore more of a possible danger to her young daughters, no?
And, to cast aspersions on Letterman when Palin’s biggest cheerleader, Limbaugh, is the one that visits known child-sex-tourism spots is beyond hypocrisy.
Lastly, EyeOnYou, I agree with you that the SNL incest skit was much more objectionable than any of Letterman’s jokes.
First let me say, SP is so full of it. Also, she just wants to stay in the lime lite no matter what at the cost of her kids, husband, mother and dad, it does not matter as long as she gets her face out there. Shame on the media for wasting their time and ours.
Second, Meg Stapleton looks drunk in the above picture. Does she always look this goofy?
anyone catch the full comment “he who must be obeyed”
Arrrgh…I missed it. I lost track of the time and just caught the last minute where Matt asked her if she felt after all she had done and being the VP nominee last election was she entitled to “first refusal” on being the face of the GOP and she replied that no, no one in the GOP felt that way, instead they were all about walking the walk and not just talking the talk!

In my opinion all she (and her family) cares about at this point is getting in the news and staying there. They are of the mindset that there is no such thing as bad publicity and if it is bad, they just play the victim card.
