wasilla-billies redux

she's baaaaaaaaack...

i stopped watching letterman ages ago. he got all soft after the birth of his son, and watching an aarp member drool over insipid starlets was too molester-pervyish -- like a heavy-breather *just* outside the playground. somebody get the creepy old guy a bib, ya know?

apparently he made a tasteless joke. which was part of his shtick, if anybody can recall when he was actually funny, sharp and relevant. he pushed the envelope of crassness -- mocking several famous people all in one punchline. on late-night tv. the kids and grams and gramps all asleep and safe from being offended.

except the voracious media maw gave it legs on the morning shows. four fucking days later, the mother of all those white trash kids is still yapping about how out of line letterman was. this from the mom who pushed her knocked-up underage daughter and her dumbass redneck boyfriend into the international cultural and political spotlight, as a show of superlative family values. a young couple who broke up as soon as the election was over and the baby was born. the father of the girl had promised her a new truck if she'd ditch the loser boy. which she did.

so now the woman who couldn't answer custard soft questions from katie couric, is all tut-tut-tut and putting down her high-heeled footsies. if you watch the clip of her with matt lauer, she nearly says, "riot..." but stumbles, backs off and then asks amurricanz to rise up, blah blah. ( i was staring at her slutty stewardess hairdo and frozen forehead and had stopped listening already, so lost the thread. if she had one. besides that letterman is a meanie.)

wiping the spider glue from my ears, next i heard something about statutory rape and girls having low self esteem.

dunno, mrs. governor, how do you think those women in your town felt having to fork over the money for their own fucking rape kits? that's gotta be an ego-charge and krazee grrrl-power empowerment right there.

whatever might be left of palin's base -- them real folks who hate the book lurnin' and are praying for the end times during commercial breaks for american idol -- they were not watching david letterman. his lame-ass remark would have gone off to hulutv archives and died. instead, this attention whore, who is articulate as a fruitfly with tourette's, is flogging her 14-year-old kid's "self-image". hearing her mom use the words, "statutory rape," "low self-esteem" and "alex rodriguez" all in one sentence on national tv, is willow now refusing to leave the house? yuk. yuk. compound the yuk factor that a-rod is a man-whore who banged madonna. who banged dennis rodman. (need eye-bleach yet?)

from the same show with lauer:
palin's spokesperson: "it would be wise to keep willow away from david letterman."

lauer: "are you suggesting david letterman can't be trusted around a 14-year-old?"

palin: "take it the way you want to take it. it's from the heart."

so, it's ok to infer that a very famous man might be a pedophiliac rapist? he does work in nyc, so that's probably true, right? or is your heart full of beetles and leprosy?

the red sox game is the only tv i watched this week and i STILL cannot escape this inane story.

palin believes god answers your prayers. can i pray her away? or at least off-air?

gah.
