Culture, Politics: David Letterman pisses off Sarah Palin, gets smacked down

  • Am I guilty of poor taste? Yes. Did I suggest that it was okay for her 14-year-old daughter to be having promiscuous sex? No.
  • David Letterman • In an apology about a series of jokes he made about Sarah Palin’s daughter, which Palin did not take kindly to. Palin said, regarding the jokes, “it reminds us some Hollywood/N.Y. entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands.” To those looking to defend Dave: Well, he did make sexual jokes about her 14-year-old daughter. • source

Politics, U.S.: Sarah Palin’s struggle with balancing national and state attention

  • The source of the greatest tension this year between the Legislature and the executive has been certainly the appearance that the executive is prioritizing her national image, her national brand, over the day-to-day operations of state government and the interests of the State of Alaska.
  • Mike Hawker • The Republican co-chairman of the Alaska House Finance Committee, on the strained relationship between the legislature and Sarah Palin. When Tina Fey’s parodied you on SNL and your daughter’s ex-boyfriend gets absurd amounts of attention, it’s hard to focus, isn’t it? • source

Politics, U.S.: The Sarah Palin/Bristol/Levi Johnston thing is officially testy

  • I know the truth about my family. I know details about whether Levi Johnston was allowed to live with my teenage daughter or not. By the way, it would be over my dead body that a kid would live with my teenage daughter.
  • Sarah Palin • In response to a reporter’s question about whether Levi Johnston actually lived with the Palins after the birth of Bristol’s child. Whew. Did a vein just pop in Palin’s forehead or what? Wow. • source

Politics, U.S.: Speaking of celebrity couples, Bristol Palin broke up with her bf

  • They have a kid with a gubernatorial granny. Sarah Palin – remember her? She was that vice presidential candidate who was on everyone’s lips for like two months. Then we forgot about her. Anyway, her daughter Bristol, who was pregnant during the campaign, broke up with her boyfriend Levi Johnston recently. They have son, Tripp. (As in “Tripp up the campaign”? Sorry, that was harsh.) But anyway, yeah. Now it’s on the record. Back to not caring about Sarah Palin anymore. source

Offbeat, U.S.: Animal rights group: We’ll give you the 411 on Sarah Palin

  • Sarah Palin isn’t fading into the background, so neither are we. Given her known political aspirations, the American public deserves to know what she’s doing in Alaska, and about her extreme anti-conservation policies.
  • Rodger Schlickeisen • Defenders Action Fund President, regarding her support of a predator-control program in Alaska that allows for aerial hunting, which involves – we’re not making this up – shooting wolves from helicopters. Defenders recently launched a site attacking and giving updates on the former Veep candidate and current Alaska governor. Palin says their campaign “perverts” the issue. • source

U.S.: Imagine Sarah Palin saying this in your head

  • You need to know that both Levi and Bristol are working their butts off to parent and going to school and working at the same time. They are certainly not high school dropouts.
