– Sarah Palin Urges ‘Uprising’ Against David Letterman; Rest Of America Asks For Chance To Reconsider That Whole 49th State Thing –
Heeeeeere’s Mommy!
The 2008 Presidential election is over but Sarah Palin is still hard at work … trying to cement her spot as the most ridiculous figure on the political scene.
That’s not going to be easy given the likes of Newt Gingrich, Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi and Michelle Bachmann.
But is Palin gonna give it the ol’ college try? You betcha!
I think the last time someone called for an “uprising” was back in the 1800s. At least then it was probably for some serious cause like slavery, women’s suffrage or horse thievery.
Not because a professional comedian picked on your daughter.
Palin criticized the political double standard of “acceptance of a celebrity being able to get away with a disparaging comment that does erode a young girl’s self esteem and does contribute to some of the problems we have in society.”
First off, if you don’t want your kids’ self-esteem being eroded, you should quit giving them goofy names like Willow, Track, Trig, Home Ec and Calc 101.
Oh, and don’t let them get pregnant in the back of a snowmobile with the local high school pinhead.
By the way, Sarah … David Letterman’s jibe wasn’t anywhere near as scathing as Chris Farley’s impersonation of Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew, a few years back.
Not that this should come as a shock, but making fun of people is what comedians do.
If we’re going down the list of “People Who Are Contributing To Problems In Society,” I’m pretty sure David Letterman doesn’t even crack the top five thousand.
Letterman probably doesn’t even make the top 100 comedians who are contributing to the problems in society. He’s definitely behind Carrot Top, Dice Clay and Carlos Mencia.
If anything, Sarah Palin is contributing more to society’s problems than David Letterman — at least in the field of grammar and syntax.
When asked if she should be considered a front-runner for the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination because of her fund-raising prowess [Ed. note: WTF?!] Palin responded, “Absolutely not necessarily.”
And somewhere a grammar angel died.
Palin is like your batty old aunt who doesn’t hear so well which means that a good part of the time you get answers to questions you didn’t even ask.
“Would you like some more mashed potatoes, Aunt Sarah?”“You’re right! I can’t stand that Keith Olbermann, either.”
Palin may not torture the English language to the extent George Bush did, but she sure waterboards the hell out of it.
If there’s going to be an uprising in this country, it’ll should probably come from grammar teachers with a sense of humor.
