Sarah Palin Makes Late Night Appearance. . . On Stephen Colbert
As the war of words between Sarah Palin and David Letterman continued apace, the Alaska Governor took to the airwaves last night. No, she hadn't accepted Letterman's offer to appear on "The Late Show," rather, she could be watched in a taped segment on "The Colbert Report" which is broadcasting from Iraq all this week. Here's the bit:
As she mentioned, Palin's son, Track, is currently serving in Iraq. Hard to picture him riding a "snow machine" in that desert heat, however.

David Letterman is a disgusting hateful vulgar ugly venemous old has-been. He hasn't been funny in a looooooooooong time.
Anyone who thinks his vicious slanderous insults are funny has got something wrong with them. Letterman is just evil. He doesn't make jokes about Gov. Palin. He slanders her. He attacks her kids and this is not right. Hannity, O'Reilly, Rush have all said the Obama girls were adorable. No one on the Right would make incestuous, sexually violent remarks about them, that have been made about Gov. Palin's family. Conservatives recognize that IT IS WRONG to slander an opponent's family, we don't find that funny. It's not funny, it is hurtful. That is simply not done and the Right recognizes that this is off-limits. Just proves yet again that the Left is evil and Letterman is evil. Only someone evil would find his "jokes" funny. His "apology" was a sarcastic spit-in-the-eye.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black - hypocrite. Where is all of your outrage for Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter and O'Reilly who with their reprehensible rhetoric are getting people KILLED. Where is your outrage for those listed above in their continued attacks on President Obama, 1st Lady Michelle Obama and her children and the democratic party in general? It isn't anywhere because as far as you lunatics are concerned it is more than perfectly o.k. to attack any and all democrats including Children - but how dare any democrat say anything bad about a republican. You talk about Sarah Palin as if she actually has any moral standards - that is a joke, Sarah Palin was KNOCKED UP when she married TODD, she had an AFFAIR with Todd's best friend and Business Partner, she flaunted her UNMARRIED, PREGNANT teenage daughter around on the National Stage like she was the VIRGIN MARY for political gain and you think she has morals - yeah your right she does, the same ones my mother-in-law and sister-in-law have - the MORALS OF AN ALLEY CAT. You are a walking joke and we will enjoy kicking your butts again in 2010 and 2012, so I hope you enjoy living in your self imposed misery because we are looking forward to keeping you there for the next EIGHT YEARS that the Obama's are in the White House. LMAO

President Obama and the first Lady, are intelligent enough to keep their children out of the spotlight.
Children should not be used to parade on the stage and used for political reasons. I feel so sorry for that sweet little baby that Sarah carries around on stage after stage like a sack of potatoes. That child needs tender loving care .The other child that holds this baby, gives her little brother more comfort .
If anyone can find the video of Sarah going to Alaska to vote during the election-----watch how she walks on the stage, and how she treats this child after being away from him for a period of time. YIKES!!!!

This proves to me that Palin does not have the moxie, and is too thin skinned to be anything more than Gov of Alaska ...
She does not know when to pick a fight ... and David Letterman will bury her!
His ratings are already up because of this and he will pick her apart every night until she throws up the white flag ....
... it proves she is not savvy enough for the national stage and not what the Republicans need for a comeback! She's a flash in the pan! He family has that Jon and Kate quality about them ...
... clean her clock, Dave!

Interesting how this whole dustup (initiated by Dave's comments) between Letterman and Palin just happened to occur around the time Leno handed off the tonight show to Conan.
Nothing but pure coincidence, I'm sure.

Bob that is a good point. also this dust up happend the same week that the GOP had their little pow wow that Palin was going to be the keynote speaker. Thats is they thought, seems someone at the GOP forot to ask the
Gov first and when the press asked Palin about it she claim she was busy and had not even been asked. So the GOP rolled out that new fresh guy Newt Gingrich to fill in! But when Palin had a change of hart and showed up anyway, and then stormed out. This was all the news a week ago then the next day Dave did his little skit and now this is all people want to hear. I have also notice that this is all this blog seems to want to cover? 5 different stories about poor Palin? And Rev wright, and other BS stories. Only one story about the healthcare debates going on now that are being hijacked by big insurance comapnys. Seems the right slanted Melinda is doing her magic of feeding us BS stories about useless stuff, this is so very republican. Shame shame dave I think you and anyone else that thinks they blogg somewhat left should take their word some place else. Melinda has won this is a worthless vast right wing waste land.....

To those complaining about Sarah "using" her children for political gain, she knew the situation going in and decided to show that pregnancy, even when unplanned, is a blessing. If anything like that ever happens to Obama's girls, we'll never know about it, because dear ol' dad has already said that babies are "punishment" to be gotten rid of.
As for Letterman, I must admit I chuckled at his nightly segment of Bush gaffes that he ran for many years...what I want to know is when will he start the segment of "Great Moments in Vice-Presidential Speeches"? He already has years of material from Biden, but he never seems to bring him up in the monologue...isn't that strange??
Never could stand Leno, so I'm glad I can turn my attention to Conan now...

When the OBAMA girls start making apperances on their own, expressing opinions on teen sex, then they will open themselves for criticism too. Palin is no different.
