...by saying:
"One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game, during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked-up by Alex Rodriguez."
My first reaction after reading it was kind of a wince. It was most definitely going off limits, talking about people's kids. I really don't like that kind of thing. Those kids did nothing to inject themselves into the public eye and have all been just unfortunate enough to have a public figure for a parent. However, I really don't know that it's anything worth the media blitz that has resulted. The Republicans are always bitching and moaning about the rampant PC culture of today. However, it's clear that they're OK with it when it can be used to their political advantage. And leave it to Sarah Palin to exploit her children by purposely keeping it in the news to do just that.
Here's a video of her speaking with Matt Lauer on "Today".
A great part is just prior to her hand wringing about David Letterman when she says she'll only talk about it "if we must". Please. This lady would do anything to keep her bobble head in the papers. If she doesn't want people talking about her daughters and the nasty jokes that a late-night comic made about them, I've got an idea...how about she stops talking about her daughters and the late night jokes every single time she gets a chance.
But by far the best part of the interview is her trying to explain away the comment she made to the press about appearing on Dave's show:
"The Palins have no intention of providing a ratings boost ... plus it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman."
So let me explain. She's pissed off about a late night comic making a joke about someone having illegal sex with her 14-year-old daughter, and she responds by implying that she won't go on the show because David Letterman may have illegal sex with her 14-year-old daughter. Seriously. And this lady is in politics.
Although, in her defense, this makes perfect sense when one is a bitter, vacant, deranged, witch-hunting, right-wing nut like her.
She's apparently pissed off about the top ten list too. Sorry Sarah, that was funny shit.
