Letterman’s Sexist Assault on Sarah Palin - Free Pass?

WedNEWSday - June 10th, 2009

The Response

Governor Sarah and Todd Palin respond to the attack:

In a statement to FOXNews.com, Palin accused Letterman of making “sexually perverted” and “inappropriate” comments that she doubted he would “ever dare make” about anyone else’s daughter.

“Acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone’s daughter, contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others,” she said.

Palin’s husband, Todd, echoed her sentiments, telling FOXNews.com, “Any ‘jokes’ about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it, and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too.”

David Letterman if this is some sort of desperate attempt to garner ratings, then certainly your time has passed.  If you truly speak these words from your heart, well then, let’s just say CBS should disassociate themselves from you as quickly as possible.

The Attack

Turn the page. Now we have disgusting, demeaning, and nasty comments aimed at Palin from a liberal (shocking that a liberal would be disgusting, demeaning, and nasty, eh?), and the mainstream media is nowhere to be found. Just watch the following video, and listen for the reaction to #2, updating her “slutty flight attendant look”

Jim Treacher: It Might Not Be the Best Idea for David Letterman to Joke About Underage Girls Being Raped

The thing is, that joke isn’t about Bristol: Palin brought her 14-year-old daughter Willow to the Yankees game with her. 

That’s right: A state governor went to a baseball game with her underage daughter, and a national talk show host made a joke about the girl being sexually assaulted by one of the players.
