Winkin' Memorial



Poor Bible Spice.
Now that she's got her apology from Letterman, she'll need to conjure up some other Palin-the-victim whine festival to keep the spotlight on herself.
I've been having a hard time believing the sincerity of this latest attack of the vapors that has overcome so many in the Palin camp. After all, when the issue moves from dealing with talk of rape to dealing with an actual rape, Palin's response has been far less sensitive:
"...as AMERICAblog has documented (and the media is now reporting), when Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla, the town charged rape victims for the exams."
Nothing so classy as screwing a rape victim.

Turns out I'm not alone in my skepticism. Perhaps Letterman was the last straw for them but I doubt it. Conservatives have never met a straw they weren't willing to snap at in anger so the first one usually is as far as anyone gets.

As James Wolcott says:
"I fear some on the political-cultural right may be losing their sense of proportion, along with their few remaining marbles."
