Autonomy's Journal: The Only Freedom is Self-Determination
Posted by Autonomy in General Discussion
Sun Jun 14th 2009, 12:28 PM
I am getting a bit annoyed at the narrative being developed that Letterman's "Palin Jokes" were in bad taste, bad jokes, poor judgment, and worst of all, offensive to women. I thought the jokes were funny and hit the mark. It seems to me that Letterman calling the jokes "in poor taste" is just doing his usual self-deprecating shtick, and everyone else is jumping on the "Don't offend Sarah Palin" bandwagon.

The daughter who got knocked up at 17 and whose mom is running on an abstinence-only education platform got knocked up by A-Rod during the Seventh Inning STRETCH!!! HAHAHA!!!

I DO NOT believe the 18-year-old daughter should be protected by the media the way the minor children of presidents are. Chelsea Clinton was shielded because she was under age, the Bush twins were not because they were of age...

Personally, I want more like those jokes. Keep 'em coming, Dave. Kick and/or recommend if you feel in any way the same about this made up "issue".

(Btw, way to look presidential, Sarah :p)
