Sal, you missed the punchline. The joke is on you. As a woman, if you think a sexist joke about a woman has nothing to do with you, you deserve as much respect as you think Palin deserves. > >> to "defend" someone who the next minute > >> will turn around and call their daughters sluts > >> for doing the exact same thing her daughter did. > >> > >> Palin deserves no respect, either as a woman > >> or anything else.

There is plenty to criticize Palin about without resorting to sexism. No inoculation is necessary. How ridiculous can you get, do.rflex? The only sick game I have seen lately has come from the left attacking women, Hillary and Palin for their sex because they stupidly think it's easier and more effective to create hate than offer an intelligent debate on the issues. Perhaps it is easier and more effective in the short run, but in the long run it damages respect for ALL women. > > Here's Letterman's response to Palin's complaints: > > > > Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHfJM7bMkac > > > > Sal >
