Letterman’s latest show: Top Ten Things Overheard At The “Fire David Letterman” Rally.
As I said they gave him his opening but this was post Palin apology and certainly qualifies as not shutting the fuck up about it.
It sounds like he was responding to other people who wouldn’t shut up. He didn’t say anything about Palin in that Top Ten list anyway, only about the idiots with signs outside the theater.
Fair point.
I should instead have referenced the monolog from that same show.
Mild stuff, certainly, but he couldn’t resist a few last digs.
Who said they’re the last? He’s a fucking comedian. Is he supposed to always consider Palin (who’s something like a goddamn fountain of gold to political comedians) offlimits forever? He can’t make jokes about SARAH Palin anymore because one of his jokes about who he assumed was her adult daughter was misinterpreted?
Boy, the rightwing really doesn’t have a sense of humor, does it?
How is the one with Tina Fey a dig at Palin? If anything, it is self-deprecating.
That.
So, Letterman’s “digs” are that she wears glasses, and that she resembles a popular comedian?
Gosh, what a jerk.
Are you kidding? Check out this awesome zinger by Rusty DePass, GOP activist from South Carolina:

They’re a laugh-a-minute, I tells ya!
Self-righteous people never have a sense of humor about themselves.
In his case I believe they were. His voter drive had a very specific mandate.
Regardless, the fact is that he had a fair undistinguished career as an actual politician with less responsibility than Palin had as Governor of Alaska. He kept his head down and mouth shut in Chicago and basically did what he was told. Now you may not like Palin (well, clearly to don’t) but her political career was at least as distinguished or undistinguished as Obama’s was.
There was nothing political about the voter drive mandate. Registering people to vote is civic minded, but not political. He wasn’t telling anybody who to vote for.
And there is more responsibility to supervising the swing shift at Arby’s than there is in governing the state of Alaska.
By the way, George Washington had no political experience at all before getting elected President. Political experience is not the sole measure of qualifications (even though Obama’s political experience was far more extensive and significant than Palin’s was). His non-political CV blows her out of the water.
Also, he’s obviously smart and she’s obviously a moron. That counts too.
This is a highly inaccurate statement.
In any case, the election’s over. Palin lost, Og be praised. Why are we still arguing about this?
No, but there’s a definite political impetus in deciding WHERE to focus voter registration efforts.
He was focusing it where people weren’t registered. Where else should he have focused it?
He was encouraging the poor and disenfranchised to aspirations quite above their station, in service to the insidious agenda of equality and justice.
How so? Walk me through what he did as an Illinois State Senator?
Er…sure. Are you what, 12?
And the budget of Alaska is significantly greater than the power that an Illinois State Senator has over, well anything.
And Obama’s registration drive seems counter prodcutive given that in his own race the voters actually never had a choice.
It wasn’t his fault nobody opposed him.
I resent that remark.
