The "Outrage" is a Bit Late



Great story at Huffpo by Shannyn Moore about the whole Palin-Letterman thing.... a top ten list of sorts. Funny how other jokes just happened to fly under the radar...and David Letterman gets the wrath of the Moose woman.


Here's number nine:


9) Days after the announcement of Bristol's pregnancy, Conan O'Brien joked, "It's true, John McCain's running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, has revealed that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. Palin said, 'We should never have introduced her to John Edwards.'" Where was the outrage? Was Conan promoting infidelity with an underage girl?


More from same story:


All across America, right wing radio and television talk show hosts feigned outrage in perfect synchronicity. The same people who back up Palin's high drama assertions against Letterman ignored the connections between Bill O'Reilly's irresponsible incitement and the murder of Dr. George Tiller. David Letterman, a late night entertainer, apologized. Fox New's Bill O'Reilly has not.
