Easily-aggrieved Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and coattail-riding right-wing nitwit Michelle Malkin continue to manufacture righteous indignity over David Letterman's jokes the other night.From the AP:
Sarah Palin says David Letterman owes an apology to young women across the country for his joke about her daughter.
The Alaska governor appeared on NBC's "Today" show Friday, continuing a feud with Letterman over his joke that Palin's daughter got "knocked up" by Alex Rodriguez during their recent trip to New York.
Palin says the late-night funnyman has contributed to a thread throughout culture that says it's acceptable and funny to talk about statutory rape.
Letterman has said his joke was about Palin's 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, who is a single mother. But it was her 14-year-old daughter, Willow, who'd been at the baseball game.
Palin said it took Letterman time to think of the "convenient excuse" that he was talking about Bristol instead of Willow.
And then there's Michelle Malkin. If it's ersatz outrage and a hyperventilating cultural patrol that you want, she's your gal:
My syndicated column today fixes the spotlight on David “The Perv” Letterman’s contempt for women. Yesterday morning, I noted the silence of the feminists. Last night, NOW finally spoke up — but not without taking a holier-than-thou potshot of its own. I suggest they all review the Four Stages of Conservative Female Abuse before wagging their tired old fingers again and lecturing us “inauthentic” women about not doing enough to combat sexism.
Dear David Letterman,
Will you teach your son to talk about women and girls the way you talk about Sarah Palin and her daughters?
I'm guessing you won't be running into either Palin or Malkin down at The Laugh Factory anytime soon, unless they're out front picketing stand-up comedians.
UPDATE: If you have a high threshold for a crazy lady suggesting that David Letterman is a child molester, here ya go:
