Letterman’s Teen Age Booty Call

I’ve been waiting for someone to recall the furor that erupted when David Shuster (he plays a journalist on MSNBC) said the Clinton’s were “pimping out” Chelsea Clinton. At least NBC understood what an apology is:

And Letterman is lamely trying to insist he’s just a jokester?

Sexually demeaning women and girls is not a legitimate target of humor unless the woman or girl in question is leading a moral crusade in public against certain behavior while she is engaging in the very conduct in private. For example, if Sarah’s girls were public leaders in a campaign to promote chastity while screwing their brains out then their plea for privacy would be pretty lame. Last I checked neither Sarah Palin nor her daughters have been not crusading against premarital sex. They certainly have not been guilty of hypocrisy on this front. She’s against abortion, she may prefer that unmarried folks abstain from sex, but she’s not been using her bully pulpit to push that cause. She also has not been condemning girls or women who engage in such conduct.

The hatred and fear evinced by the establishment media towards this woman and her family is astonishing. She genuinely scares the shit out the TV and media luminaries. Why? I see a couple of reasons. She is fearless. When she took on corruption in her own party she sent a clear signal that she is not part of the go along to get along crowd. Can’t have that shit in Washington!! She might actually keep a campaign promise.

Second, she resonates with mainstream America. You don’t have to be ivy league or have a silver spoon shoved up your ass to be a leader and be successful. She breaks the mold.

This is not to say she has handled the sudden fame deftly or proved to be an agile debater when ambushed by the likes of Katie Couric, but she is teachable and could be very formidable in a future national campaign.

But using her teenage girls as a butt of jokes by an ass-hat like Letterman is wrong and if CBS does not suspend him or at least force an apology then CBS should suffer economic damage. Let’s identify the sponsors and start calling them. Make them pay for a verbal rape.
