Malkin condemns "partisan hack and hit man" with "a deranged obsession"...and it's NOT O'Reilly!


Michelle Malkin: Letterman’s Yuks about Statutory Rape Is Just Yuck
Talk show host seems to have a disturbing obsession with Palin and her daughters

By Michelle Malkin | Published on 06.15.2009

Face it: David Letterman, late-night entertainer turned partisan hack and hit man, has a deranged obsession with Palin and her family that has crossed into rank bigotry and hatred. If the CBS network cares about basic standards of decency on public airwaves and if it cares at all about bolstering its shrinking audience, the network honchos will get Letterman a therapist pronto.

3. She's funny ... "crossed into rank bigotry and hatred."



And all it took was a small part of one opening monologue.

He's been doing monologues for twenty years or so but all

of a sudden he's crossed over. :shrug:

4. I don't recall
Edited on Mon Jun-15-09 02:22 PM by 90-percent
I don't recall Dave using the term "statutory rape"?

I don't recall Dave naming the younger daughter by name?

There's been plenty of stuff dug up about Leno and Conan doing the same type of jokes.

Hey. Michelle, please, go after Dave with all your righteous might! You will ultimately loose, you twit! At least you may end up being a component of a recurring Late Night bit or something? Like "the neocon blogger under the stairs" or, even better: Michelle "Bud" Malkin!

-90% Jimmy

DAVE: Stand your ground, dude. You did your apology and you did nothing wrong. The wrong comes from people like Malkin trying to gin up controversy where rightly none should exist!

5. Micro Mistake Society
What Letterman said and how he said it was wrong. But to characterize decades of good commentary with one joke is ridiculous. People like Letterman, Imus, and many others have to fill thousands and thousands of hours of space with commentary. If you talk all the time you are bound to say something that is not quite right at some point.

Calling for Letterman to be fired over one mistake is ridiculous. Nobody can live or work in a world where one tiny little infraction does away with a long and reputable career.

6. Did she ever accuse him over an obsession with the Clenis,
given all of the jokes he made at the expense of THAT subject?

9. The attempt is being made
to silence all mirthmaking about Sarah Palin. No time like the present to make jokes about Caribou Barbie verboten.

Yes, jokes about her daughters should be off-limits. People are still going to make them. But Sarah Palin is fair game, fair and plentiful game.

10. True.
But the joke about the kid was also a joke about Palin.

11. ANd Palin was the one pimping her daughters to the knuckle-draggers at the hate-fests
around the country during the campaign.

Along with her two-dollar whore look (apologies to more honest prostitutes), she and her fellow-cretins were the ones who sexed up the electoral process.

I'd say "fuck her" but I don't want to give any indication that sex with her would be desirable under any circumstances.
