I found the entire media circus a bit disconcerting. These are the same people who vilified Hillary Clinton unmercifully and yet now they are defending womanhood? What gives, have they not listened to Rush Limbaugh and others when they castigated the Clintons?

Palin brought her daughter and family center stage as an appeal to those people with families. That’s all of us last I checked. Imagine just for a moment if Obama’s daughter had been pregnant during the election? And wouldn’t genuine conservatives frown on a young unmarried girl getting pregnant. How do conservatives manage these moral gyrations one wonders and then measure jokes higher than actions. Or are these just a gang of bullies who pounce on another’s mistake - inappropriate joke in this case.

Letterman’s jokes were bad and they were wrong to bring in the children. But he without sin cast the first stone. The right wing has constantly criticized more liberal political families, be it Carter, Kerry, and especially Clinton. Can anyone spell hypocritical.

But the aspect of this I find the most disconcerting is how media and certain politicians can waste so much time on an issue that should have quickly gone away. Are we a soap opera political system today? Remember Dan Rather and documents that may or may not have been forged? The crux of those documents were correct. For those of us who lived through Nam, many men tried to avoid service, some are just honest enough to admit it. Cheney is my favorite draft dodger given his hyper patriotism today.

What does the nation gain when a comedian and a political person get into a discussion on the appropriateness of poor taste jokes? Nothing. Rome burns, Nero fiddles. Are there no important issues, you know like jobs, and energy, and the environment.

A nation builds or destroys itself from within. Russian communism did that, Iran is doing something different. America needs to focus on the important, get back to work, support all Americans, and stop the wasteful BS.

David, clean up the stupid personal jokes, and Sarah, give the nation energy ideas that help without destroying our natural beauty. Both need a spanking.
