Even though I do not watch him consistently, it sounds out of character. Imus did something similar and they raised a ruckus over that. I guess "yes we can" gave him the green light.

The point of this episode is that Sarah Palin outplayed Letterman in the public opinion realm and the left wingers are upset to see one of their own go down.
First, the GOP thinks political correctness is overdone, and now it is embracing PC like there's no tomorrow. The GOP will take no prisoners in its War on Jokes.
Didn't you know? The right wing loonies take pride in their inbred heritage... <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2470537>
Those people look pretty normal to me. Far more normal than the perverts Nancy Pelosi proudly marches with in SF. Of course liberals have nothing but contempt for ordinary citizens. You see it with Letterman and with posts like yours. People are getting fed up with it though. The reaction caught Letterman and the network by surprise, since they have been verbally raping Sarah Palin since she was nominated. Suddenly, Letterman looks like a clueless loser, a creepy old guy who thinks it's funny to joke about teenagers being raped.
