Okay so as you can see from the previous post, I’m not defending David Letterman for his inappropriate jokes regarding Bristol and/or Willow Palin. But of course, the people who are covered by the media for defending the Palin girls are doing it for all the wrong reasons. 

Huffington Post has an article about the 15 hardcore Palinites trying to get David Letterman fired and their oh-so-genius remarks. Apparently the way to protect a young girl from sexist and statutory rape based humor is to attack the wife and 5-year-old son of the “humorist” who started it. Huh. Somehow I have trouble believing that saying Letterman has a “bastard son and a slut for a wife” is really helping to protect underage kids from slander…

I fully believe that Letterman’s attempts at humor were repulsive in this situation. But attacking his wife and child only makes the problem bigger. We have to stop making sexist attempts at humor or calling people sluts and bastards to get to their family. This is getting ridiculous and sickening.
