(6-15) Letterman non-apology #2

Gov Palin accepts Letterman’s apology. Political statement not personal or motherly. And she lets him off scot free when he apologized for only the one joke. He said nothing about connecting her 14 y/o to Eliot Spitzer the prostitute frequenter.
And there was no request for putting some of his $30M where is mouth is. No request for donations to an abused woman shelter or rape crisis counseling center or the home for disabled adults she was working with in NYC.
How is that teaching young girls accountability? About the consequences of their actions?
He said those foul things and there is nothing stopping him from doing it again – so why would he stop?
She really is quite disappointing. I now see her naked ambition. It’s sad.
Palin statement to FOX NEWS:
Of course it’s accepted on behalf of young women, like my daughters, who hope men who ‘joke’ about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve.
Letterman certainly has the right to ‘joke’ about whatever he wants to, and thankfully we have the right to express our reaction.
This is all thanks to our U.S. Military women and men putting their lives on the line for us to secure America’s Right to Free Speech – in this case, may that right be used to promote equality and respect.
