Poll Shows Public Sides With Palin Over Letterman
By Robert Schlesinger, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
A new Rasmussen poll puts solid numbers around Sarah Palin's victory over David Letterman. According to the survey, nearly two thirds of Americans (64 percent) say that late-night comedians should not target the children of politicians with jokes. (Letterman's approval rating dropped from 49 percent last month to 41 percent this month, raising the question: Since when do we track the approval rating of late-night talk show hosts?) Of course, that solid majority didn't seem terribly upset last fall when then-pregnant teen Bristol Palin was the target of never-ending late-night jokes from Letterman and his ilk. Maybe they meant to tell Rasmussen that pols' children shouldn't be the target of unfunny jokes?

Palins Daughter
I happened to be a male whom has sewed a lot of poas in my youth.
So I have some knowledge of how life operates. I have been on the other side of Palins Daughters situation.I think that you should walk a mile in her shoes before you have any right to judge this young lady. Think of it this way ,if it weren't for our devious and manipulating and self centered ego, as to have any woman we feel intidaled to. Not all but an enormous amount
these (Quote: male trophies of pleasure) Alot of these innocent
girls wouldn't be in these situations. But its ok for Rodger Ramjet to point his finger. Why dont you give them a break . My guess is that you have no young girls in your family. Better hope your opinion doesn't came back and bit you in the A--!!!
Remember this for every misguided girl, it started with a Horny self centered man. I ve been there and I'm not proud of it. If you have a young daughter of your own think about it.
Palin is not a Christain but is from Mars
Palin is a certified crazy quitter and not fit to be a mother much less a politician. She uses her children when she sees fit and then cries foul when someone mentions them. How many times has she drug that poor baby out and then way back paraded her pg daughter all over the stage when she should have been protecting her and left her at home! Palin is out for the money, FYI she has let hundreds of people die in Alaska as she fail to act and fund a program that had already been running and needed the funding - of which there was plenty of money to do so. She is the biggest JOKE that has ever been thrown on the public stage! I know your poll is wrong... or only the WINGNUTS voted!
David was wrong this time even though she is what she is....BUT he did publicly say how wrong he was and tasteless.
Leson that should be learned... STOP using your children, Palin!!!! Stay at home and out of the lower 48... you did know how many states that are down here ... and yes,Hawaii is a state , too!! can you see it from your house????
