Palin deserves no respect, either as a woman
or anything else. Deal with it.

In my view, Sarah Palin's overall ugly character and hypocritical
'family values' she displays in the public arena does women a gross
disservice. I think she's a creepy human being.
The kind of jokes Letterman told aboput her were no different that
any he's told thousands of times about BOTH men and women. That's
what late night comedians DO!!!
Exactly. And rd and others like her can't see
how they're being manipulated--how the right
wing often times uses women to put forth their
creepiest, most harmful views knowing that their
gender will, to a certain degree, innoculate them
agains criticism. rd is playing right into that sick game.
Here's Letterman's response to Palin's complaints:
