On topic: The stupid dregs manning the outrage factories missed one: > [@Jay Leno](#): > > Gov. Palin announced over the weekend that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant. And you thought John Edwards was in trouble before! Now he has really done it. – “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” 9/2/08 Palin’s a moron, her daughter is a hypocrite whore and the simpletons pretending to be outraged are the most worthless people in America. IMHO anyway. 😃 ---

M&O? Totally unrelated question: anyone know why the name of the chaplain was changed for some editions? In my first copy (bought in the UK) he was R.O. (!) Shipman; in my second (bought in the US) he’s A.T. Tappman. ---

You conservatives might want to be careful with the Bush is intelligent meme. That would mean that he did the following things on purpose: Waited several days before sending in Federal help for Katrina. Started a war with Iraq based on false pretense that they were involved with 9/11. Nominated Harriet Myers to the SC. Waterboarded prisoners despite knowing it was torture and against US law. ---

She went off and got her nut off. When did any one say she was espousing no sex. It was her mother who pretended to have a connection with god who did not want kids to have sex. Her daughter was pounding away in back seats while mother pretended to have a connection to a god that hated her having sex. Typical religious people with no grasp of reality. ---

Looks like my prediction was right on. Letterman has officially apologized to Sarah Palin. > **[Live Feed](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/e/live-feed/)** And I’m sure it won’t matter to most of the liberal idiots in this thread, but Letterman gets _exactly_ what I’ve been arguing all along: _“And then I was watching the Jim Lehrer ‘Newshour’ – this commentator, the columnist Mark Shields, was talking about how I had made this indefensible joke about the 14-year-old girl, and I thought, ‘Oh, boy, now I’m beginning to understand what the problem is here. It’s the perception rather than the intent.’ It doesn’t make any difference what my intent was, it’s the perception."_ And: _“It’s not your fault that it was misunderstood, it’s my fault. That it was misunderstood.” (audience applauds) “Thank you. So I would like to apologize, especially to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke.”_ As I figured, Letterman blinked. ---

> [@gonzomax](#): > > He blinked a long time ago. it was not enough. fake outrage can not be easily quieted. So why didn’t Dave just say, “Hey, you idiots. You knew exactly what I meant! Go to hell. And take my sponsors with you!” Realizing that you are afflicted with Palin Derangement Syndrome is the first step toward defeating it. Letterman understands this now. He probably spent the weekend thinking, ‘Wow. Am I so consumed with irrational hatred that I’m now reduced to calling people ‘slutty’ and insulting their daughters?’ That and the fact that CBS lost at least one sponsor (Hilton Hotels! How’s _that_ for irony!) resulted in Dave finally stepping up and doing the right thing. By the way, I think the classiest move now for Governor Palin would be to accept his apology unconditionally and appear, sooner rather than later, on his show. ---

Have I ever said Letterman was your “personal political spokesperson?” And, really…has anyone in this thread even asked me about this? (If they did, I missed it.) Nope, my comment is aimed at the drooling Palin-haters who, even though Letterman himself acknowledges that his joke was “indefensible,” will continue, no matter how stupid they look, to defend it. They are utterly consumed with irrational hatred for the woman and her family.
