I think the thing with Letterman was grandstanding.

She had every right to be personally insulted, but to say his comment about her daughter threatened the self-esteem of millions of young women was hyperbolic and ludicrous, and the kind of thing that drives people away.

Instead of playing to every media outlet in the world, she should have simply called him an *sshole, then sat back and smiled. That would have been impressive. Understatement is more effective than showing up on the tube again and again and again, saying the same thing over and over.

You’re a mainstream liberal.

Your idea of grandstanding is dependent on political affiliation. Your moral standards appear to be secular, and not too far from the traditional liberal “live and let live.”

She didn’t “play every media ouitlet...” she said what was called for and proper without stooping to your gutter-level vernacular. And she didn’t “show up again and again...” as your leftist talking point email offered. She blew him off the globe with her first comment, and responded briefly to his “apologies.”

You said....."The majority of voters, who are morons, let’s face it, develop their opinions from television. She has to conquer that forum before she can get anywhere.

And, THEN you said...."Instead of playing to every media outlet in the world, (Which as you say the MORONS watch) she should have simply called him an *sshole, then sat back and smiled."

WHICH is IT? Or is it she cannot do the media, but the Dems can? This is what got us where we are. I love that she's Alinskying them.

You have arrived. The vitamin hawking editor boy has called you a liberal. Now you know you’re making sense.
