Jokes: a double standard?

Alan Colmes (former co-host of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes) makes a great
a catch regarding the current feud between David Letterman and Governor
Sarah Palin. While Palin has been blasting Letterman all over the
airwaves for joking about Yankees star Alex Rodriguez "knocking up" her
daughter, Jay Leno told an extremely similar joke during the
presidential campaign that resulted in no such uproar:
Gov. Palin announced over the weekend that her 17-year-old
unmarried daughter is five months pregnant. And you thought John Edwards
was in trouble before! Now he has really done it. -- "The Tonight Show
With Jay Leno," 9/2/08
From Huffington Post
The real joke, of course, is Sarah Palin, "mother" of the year.
Any takers on my $1 bet that Pinecone Palin, the 14 year old, will be
pregnant before the 2012 elections? Not because she was doing anything
girls that age don't do, but because her mama didn't instruct her
properly on safe sex.
I thought her name was Pine Needle. Maybe it was Pine Grove, Pine
Scent, or Pineapple. Or was it Apex or Pinnacle or Peak?
Peak Palin has a ring to it. Maybe she should get knocked up again.
And forget politics.
