all apologies

late night tv still in the news, and this time it's disturbing.

ok. so due to nbc's nail-in-the-coffin replacement of jay's time slot with conan, we had the jay vs dave debate last week. no-brainer:dave wins that debate. hands down. oh you are wondering why jay has higher ratings? have you sampled the intelligence of the american television watching population lately? there's your answer. jay appeals to vanilla. and stupid. he's a no-talent hack who steals his specialty bits from howard stern. old, tired news. done. but now, we are in the throes of a darker late night tv controversy.

david letterman tells a joke about sarah palin's knocked up unmarried daughter and the likelihood that she would also get knocked up by alex rodriguez while she attended a recent yankees game. it was funny. it was topical. it was smart, and it was good. and now,the ill-vetted former vice presidential candidate is marching all over the media complaining about it.

come again, sarah?

sarah palin parades her child and the teen aged sperm donor of her unplanned grandchild in front of every single camera she could find to serve HER needs, but no one else can? oh wait, she DID let everyone else use her, at least she did not complain about it. until david letterman did it. WHY? why didn't jay leno have to apologize for HIS jokes about palin's kid? like THIS one he told a studio audience:

"hey did you hear Sarah Palin's daughter is pregnant? Oh boy, John Edwards is in big trouble"

not to mention, what late-night comedian did NOT use palin's knocked up kid as a punchline? jay, conan, kimmel, kilbourne, stewart, colbert...why isn't she calling for all apologies? are you KIDDING ME? or is this no surprise from the woman wanted to be our vice president on the evangelical family values tour ticket with an unwed knocked up teenager?

her defense: she says that dave was talking about willow, her 14 year old. no, sarah, NO ONE ELSE saw it that way. NO ONE. you are lying. i know you have your own carl rove masterminding this effort, but he will be exposed, too. in the meantime, using your logic (underage children should not be targets of off-color jokes), why are you not calling on your former running mate to apologize to the Clinton family? Or have you conveniently forgotten this "joke", told in front of tv cameras by john mccain:

"why is chelsea so ugly? because janet reno is her father"

chelsea was 12 years old, sarah. if that. where's the outrage, sarah?

clearly: she has proven herself an opportunistic media whore;
the republican party has imploded a la the nonsense of hers and others' evangelical bottom-feeder hypocrisy;
and that david letterman is the late night comedy king.

hmmm. i think i am starting to like this broad.
