    Why are you so sure of this sucker BJ?
    Because he said so?...How cute. Regardless like I said the joke affected a 14 year old girl. I'm sure you are both excited and proud!

    So sexist jokes are "okay"...? Jokes that are sexually implicit which AFFECT minors are "okay"?, racist jokes are "okay" too?

    It's "okay" for kids to emulate this and make racist or sexist jokes at the school yard...

    and it's "okay" to joke about your momma's supposed indignified looks?

    Wow...pass the the mash potatoes!

    The joke only ever had anything to do with a 14 year old girl because Palin chose to make it about her. If it weren't for Palin's fervor about turning this into a political opportunity, her 14 year old daughter wouldn't even know about it. Leno made a similar joke about Bristol and Edwards and Palin didn't say a word. SNL made incest jokes about the Palin family before Palin happily appeared on the show. The difference between then and now is that she is a washed up national joke now. She had to do something to rehab her career and she knew she could count on silly people like yourself to indulge her/your common love of being outraged.

    Of course, Palin's been using her children to advance her career all along; this is just one more instance of the same. But it wouldn't work without fool lemmings like yourself, so congrats! You're making a real difference!

    Anytime your name is mentioned publicly, how does it not affect you? Especially if it is based on ignorance?

    Please encourage Letterman to continue the course...Why stop now?

    Write to him in support of sexist or racist jokes. I expect written documentation of such action from you within the next 48 hours.

    A 14 year old girls' name in connection to the factual circumstances which substantiated a sexist "joke" albeit based on ignorance by the media...

    I'm sure you are proud and particularly excited as well.

    so now we're complaining about the media because any reasonable person would know who letterman was talking about?

    who brought up the fact that the other daughter was at the game

    ...and it is very conveinent and especially exciting to some to target the 14 year old girl through supposed ignorance of all facts. Very convenient
