LEAVE David Letterman ALONE!
-
Concerning the current brouhaha over David Letterman's "joke" about the Palins -- Slightly tongue in cheek, I had thought about composing a rant in the manner of this (disgusting -- if you've seen it once you'll probably not care to see it again) video: LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE! Here, by the by, is an amusing send-up of the above: Leave Chris Crocker Alone! Now, as any reasonably intelligent and informed person realizes, Letterman's joke was referring to Bristol (the 18 year-old -- who *did* get herself knocked-up), not to Willow (the 14 year-old, who didn't). And, tasteless though the joke was, it was actually more about Eliot Spitzer and "A-Rod" than about the Palins. So, in a way -- and even though he probably wouldn't realize it -- Letterman was savaging what his own "liberalism" has done and is doing to our common shared life as a nation. But ya' know, when it comes down to it, I just can't work up the indignation to seeing "liberals" treated to their own preferred medicine. Sure, I'd much prefer that conservative never behave in the degraded (and degrading) manner of which "liberals" seem to be so fond. But I understand human nature well enough to know that what goes around comes around -- sometimes, the only lesson people will accept about their erroneous behavior is to experience the full consequences of it.

Is that why you felt free to delete other people's posts, so they would experience the consequences of behavior you had deemed erroneous?

Have your fights in here, but I would appreciate it if you do not take them (or your retaliation, if that's how you consider it) outside this forum.

What an amusing fool you are. Be patient; this evening, perhaps, I'll fill you in. Cool your jets until then.

Predictable to the last - lie, cheat, and then wrap yourself in self-righteousness and call people names for revealing the truth.

Going to mount your assault on the site then, are you? I'm not surprised. Just remember that with a known address, you can be sued.
