Okay... Letterman & Palin

Remember Nixon? "It wasn't the crime, it was the cover-up?" Now, a week into this mess with Palin and Letterman I am sufficiently motivated to register a complaint. Watching Letterman squirm and make un-apology after un-apology, someone needs to be told that he either needs to grow a set and not apologize for something he is obviously not sorry about, or do some serious reflection and ask himself if this is how a gentleman comports himself. It was a cheap, low-rent shot and anyone who isn't cheap and low-rent knows it. Funny or not funny is beside the point. Making jokes for a living is besides the point. Any grown man who would attack a politician by picking on one of their children, grown or not, on the cover of People or not, and to do it by sexualizing her is a pig. No way around it.
