Roundtable: Palin Proves ‘Feisty’ Against Letterman

I could not believe my ears this morning watching this totally biased group excusing the totally inappropriate remarks of Letterman and again blaming Palin for reacting! How dare any of you that most likely have children; grandchildren etc., look on this as a Palin “grandstanding”! Now picture this – Letterman makes the same crude; offensive and disgusting remarks about one of the Obama or Biden females. Letterman on CBS would be a thing of the past faster than the speed of light. Also Letterman’s calling Sarah Palin a “slut” is beneath contempt. I will never watch you George ever again. I used to have some modicum of respect for you – but no more. You are all just as guilty as Letterman by your condoning such conduct all in the name of “good fun”. You women on the panel I am the most disgusted with – have you no sense of decency or compassion? Shame! Shame! Shame!

On todays Roundtable(George Stephanopolis) George had three anti-public health care, and one pro.George usually has a balanced panel of discussion. Why not on this very important issue was it not balanced? George, are you anti-public health care option?

As usual George Will longs for the ‘Golden Age of America’, you know the ‘Gilded Age.’ The country run by and for a tiny oligarchy of the extremely wealthy. No progressive income tax, in fact no income tax at all. No Social Security system or Medicare. No unions or worker protections. No environmental regulations.

Sarah “SixPack” Palin is just plain scary. We are fortunate not to have her a “heart-beat from the Presidency. If Palin’s the future of the Republican Party, then the GOP is in big trouble.
Meg Whitman ex-eBay CEO & Carly Fiorina ex HP CEO both endorsed Sarah SixPack, both are running 4 office in Calif, Gov & Senator. I’m sure they thought to themselves, Sarah Palin is not too bright, so “why don’t we run for office too?”
But both Whitman and Fiorina, these intelligent woman were dumb enough to be Lemmings & endorse Sarah Palin, how can we respect their judgement and vote for them into office in California?
I’m sorry, but the Republican Party needs to do more than Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh.

Can someone please put this Palin thing in perspective. Originally:
A. this was a JOKE
B. this was a JOKE made by a comedian
C. this was a JOKE made by a comedian on
late night TV
If every Working Politician held a press conference for the jokes made against them, Really Nothing would get done. Palin, get over yourself. Next time, don’t parade your offspring during your elections, particularly the one prego out of wedlock. Maybe people wouldn’t get such a kick out of shooting holes in your “program”.

Oh, is that what it’s called now feistiness? I call it lying. Palin didn’t have any problem attacking 18-year-old Levi Johnston. Isn’t he somebody’s teenage child? Sarah claims she cares about rape victims but she made the women in her home state pay for their own rape kits. All Sarah wanted was another opportunity to attack President Obama and she took it calling him “He who must be obeyed” and saying he said children should be off limits. He was defending her children at the time, which Sarah conveniently forgot to mention. Now her rabbit followers are dragging Obama’s daughters into this mess when they know the president had nothing to do with what happened. I remember that Rush Limbaugh called Chelsea Clinton the “Family DOG” and I didn’t hear a lot of outrage from the right about that. Sarah is an attack dog by her own admission and she uses her kids as if they are chess pieces in her political games. Sarah is not feisty she is a disgusting example of motherhood.

To the GOP:
If you hate Obama so much, then don’t put Palin in front.
If you do, you will lose by a huge margin and make yourself look even sillier.
Palin is not anyone to take seriously in politics or any other medium.

Was what Letterman said wrong? Yeps pretty much. Did Palin read way too much into it and grossly overreact? Yes to that as well. If she overreacts to this degree at something a comedian says what is she gonna do in a position of real power that can involve a great deal of sensitive discussion like the President or Vice President. It seems she has tried to use this joke in bad taste to make herself a martyr, a role she has repeatedly used during the campaign and even while running for Governor. It is a role she assumes at the slightest hint that she is at a disadvantage, and one that would never serve her on an international scale.

I must be out of step. How did this become an offense to the Palin’s? If you look at what was said, it was Alex R. and professional sportsmen who were accused of “knocking up” young girls! Sports fans,… where’s the outrage?!!

Letterman is a jerk and should appologize publicly instead of claiming he was trying to insult the older daughter. Lets see the outrage if he insults the Obama girls.

I think Letterman is a disgrace and needs to apologise for having a low opinion about women and his cheap sexist jokes.
CBS needs to fire letterman if it wants to retain any credibility or public respect.

for two weeks I have been unable to find This Week with G.S. on T.V. The cable schedule shows the usual spot an info mercial and not the program. At a completely different time I get part of it recorded but it is very frustrating.
The cable co. blames ABC but how can I find the full transcript of the 7th and 14th????

If Don Imus (who has less notoriety than David Letterman) gets fired and is hung by the media for calling college females (“nappy headed” expletive; note rappers call themselves and black females all the time; and not everyone on the team was even black), then Letterman should get an even worse result for attacking an underage girl.
But the media will conveniently shield David Letterman because they are deathly afraid of Sarah Palin. Attention, liberal media, the McCain/Palin campaign lost; what are you so afraid of? Maybe you’re worried the public will finally wake up to your brainwashing. Like Honest Abe once quipped, “you can fool all of the people some of the time, and you can fool some people all of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” And people are finally starting to wake up. Bye bye, liberal media censorship; the 1st Amendment will make a comeback with a vengeance and GOOD CHANGE will come.

a joke.. serious folks.. i’ve worse jokes about people.. number one: if you can’t take a late night joke, there is no room for you in politics at all.. had that been kim jong or the iranian president that said that, what would she do? have a big fit and press the red button? seriously, if you can’t keep your cool when a mere comedian talks about you, how are you gonna prevent yourself from jumping off the deep end when foreign leaders, especially the ones who see women as a weak gender, make those same remarks. I’m tired of her “lipstick” antics, frankly.

Before I say anything …let me say Letterman’s comments were totally inappropriate. However…he meant her 18 year old daughter and Palin knows this. She has decided to make this more of an issue than necessary by saying he meant her younger daughter. He did not…but for her to continue on this is wrong. It does keep her in the headlines but not for the right reason. She should be thinking about doing her job in Alaska which I read the people of Alaska have been feeling that she is not doing. To continue on this story makes her look too Hollywood.

I tried to post this before…anyway, here I go again…I feel the Letterman comment was insensitive and totally outrageous. Having said that, Palin is trying to make it appear that he was talking about her younger daughter which he was not..he meant her older daughter and Palin knows this. To keep this fude going is not a wise thing. She is getting publicity but not the right kind. If she want to be taken seriously, she needs to concentrate on running Alaska which she has been neglecting and from what I read, some of her people are getting tired of her. Her pipeline is controversial and maybe will be be put through so she needs to stick to the important stuff.

a 2006 kaiser report … page 6 & 7..
shows 46.5 million as uninsured in 2006
of which, 36 million were native and naturalized citizens 7 million were non-citizens that have lived in the united states for 6+years.
so who are we to believe, George and the panel or Kaiser?

Well, Al Shapton has found a weasel way around all this.
In his words, Imus “offended” an entire race with his “nappy-haired hos” comments. Hence his punishment, losing his job, was “justified”!
Somehow good old “Al” missed the fact that rappers had been using the EXACT same terminology for YEARS! He never called for record companies to fire those so-called entertainers.
Now Letterman goes just as much, if not more overboard than Imus, and now its not a punishable offense because he only attacked an “individual” with his comments.
Oh yeah, and for those who think Dave was really aiming at Bristol Palin…,
guess again, that “joke” was not an off-the-cuff piece of material, they had a lot of time to prep it and check on it. Dave just thought it was cool to take another shot at Palin, he seriously under-estimated the response of the American People.
Can’t wait to see more Lefty excuses like Shapton’s….More of the typical Liberal life-style…. DO AS I SAY….NOT AS I DO!!!!

Letterman apologized for his comment, but to date the sharp-tongued Artic witch has not apologized for her equally nasty comments about Letterman.

I just finished watching, This weeks round table. The discussion on healthcare. You people just don’t get it. The one woman with the black hair
showed not only how stupid she is, but just how out of touch with reality she is. The people are not against “health care reform”.
They are against Obama’s healthcare bill. They are against the taxes and the mandates and any government in the healthcare.
The people know this, the federal government has bankruted this country. They have bankrupted social security and medicare.
And they are looking at Obama stripping them of their constitutional rights of free choice. They are also looking at Mass.healthcare.
Their cost are out of control and their premiums, have gone up 30%. I have been reading and watching everything on this issue. The
only group of people that are going to make out are the poor. That’s Obama’s plan, free healthcare for the poor. So he can buy votes.
There are 320 million people in this country and it’s his plan to throw 290 million people under the bus to give healthcare to 30
million. The government is already subsidizing the poor. This whole healthcare bill is a con. Because virtually every issue on
healthcare can be address in the private sector. Know this. If this bill, the taxes and mandates are shoved down the throats
of the American people. You are going to see a massive migration of businesses and jobs out of this country that you’ve never
seen before. Virtually every business in this country has Chinia, Korea,India on speed dail. You answer me this.” How does
huge tax increases and massive government expansion equal lower health care cost.” IT DOESN’T. Based on what I have read.
My costs are going up 2 to 3 thousand dollars on top of what I’am paying. So Obama can give free healthcare to the poor, NO…….
This bill is a no. The first issue is the economy and jobs. Obama is not addressing this because if this bill gets through. He is going to
have a massive damage control on the economy and jobs, then watch how much money he throws at the issue. This bill isn’t about
healthcare it’s about Tax revenue and cash flow.
The people can see this. NO ON THIS HEALTHCARE BILL.
One very angry taxpayer. Ed Dishart
