didn't see Letterman's show, but I thought I read the "Spears" joke was
about the other Spears gal - Jamie. Well, what the hell.

I agree they have set themselves up for jokes and that is what guys
like Letterman do but I can also understand why feminists get ****ed.

Ethnic jokes also bring the wrath of their advocate organizations.
I think it a bit funny that Palin is getting support from feminists,
since she is precisely the sort of stereotypical ditz they disdain. I
have to admit, though, I appreciate her efforts to stay in the news. She
and her family are the perfect antidotes to those who might think the
"new, modern, conservative GOP" is recycling.


I really got the idea that NOW's complaints about Letterman long
predated the Palin joke.


Aha. Well, I can't say I stay up to watch any of those "late night"
shows. By 11:30, I usually am in the land of nod. I used to watch Johnny
Carson, who I thought was the best comic on TV. But I gave up on late
night soon after he retired. I thought Letterman tried too hard, and
Leno was just not very subtle.
