Sarah Palin is the public figure here - she's the adult to stepped into the spotlight. She's can defend herself, and so she's fair game. Her kids, on the other hand, should be off-limits.<br /><br />My essential point was that sometimes bringing attention to someone like Letterman is what really gives them his power. As stupid and tacky as Letterman's comments were, those comments alone won't boost his ratings - but everyone across the planet talking about what he said WILL.Jason Baugherhttp://www.thebaughers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507098756489505132.post-36193079279279364762009-06-10T00:25:01.374-04:002009-06-10T00:25:01.374-04:00Jason I know you are right but when did it become ...Jason I know you are right but when did it become okay to make that kind of "joke" about a 14 year old on national television?Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892433094729392295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507098756489505132.post-80816934026425982532009-06-09T23:28:52.999-04:002009-06-09T23:28:52.999-04:00Why bother?

Letterman stopped being funny years ago when he stopped being original and started just regurgitating the liberal party line, ridiculing Republican leaders every chance he gets. Sadly, I don't think he even knows any better. As long as the big-shots shake his hand and tell him what a good boy he is at cocktail parties, he'll keep up the same schtick.Jason Baugherhttp://www.thebaughers.com/noreply@blogger.com
