Even so, where were all these women’s rights groups when Ed spouted of that nonsense?
You are absolutely right! I’m so tired here with all this and didn’t think when I posted before. You are so correct, Where was NOW? Where were concerted efforts on the left to get him thrown off the air? Where was the outrage when Bill Mahr called Sarah Plain a twat? There was none.
This is even more egregious and is from June 2009:
Reported by ABC & Fox News.
David Letterman is in the hot seat for several crude jokes he made on CBS’ “The Late Show” about Sarah Palin and her teenage daughter.
Letterman, in his monologue Monday night, noted that the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate attended a Yankees game during a trip to New York City, where she was honored by a special needs group. Letterman referred to Palin, Alaska’s governor, as having the style of a “slutty flight attendant.”
The “Late Show” host also took a shot Palin’s daughter, while poking fun at the Yankees’ third baseman.
“One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game,” Letterman said, “during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.”
The daughter was Willow Palin and she was 14 years old. That abhorrent joke was about statutory rape and the Palin’s daughter was it’s victim. I think Letterman later did apologize but I’m not certain the Palin’s accepted it.
Again, the source was both ABC and Fox. I just did a Google search for the information.
