Palin vs. Letterman, Round One

| | Comments (0) |


David Letterman's joke about Sarah Palin's fourteen-year-old daughter, Willow, being knocked up by Alex Rodriguez in the seventh inning was in bad taste, but rather sloughing it off, the Palins blew the whole thing out of proportion by issuing a comment implying that Letterman is a pervert. He's a comic who sometimes makes bad jokes and sometimes doesn't and this one belonged in the junk pile.

Either way, methinks I smell a rat in the Palin household and maybe even some guilt. While teenagers can get in all sorts of trouble, most of them don't wind up becoming parents, so it looks like the Palins are questioning their parenting skills and judgment.

The peeved Palins were right, however, when they said that Letterman wouldn't have made a comment like that about other people' s (meaning the Obama's) kids. First off, he would have had nothing to base it on and second, he would have had Al Sharpton and the NAACP practically knocking down his door.
