Listen up, because we’re only going to say this once (before we repeat ourselves again and again like we always do): TODAY WE ARE ALL PALINS.

Have a daughter?  Well, how would you feel if a haggard, sick, unfunny pig told millions of people how funny it would be if she was raped and forcibly impregnated?  What would you do if he also went on to compare your daughter to one of former Governor Spitzer’s prostitutes?

Have a wife or mother?  Well, how would you feel if that same diapered pig, all in the span of just a few moments, called her a slut, denigrated her intelligence, and implied she was a lesbian — all with the full-backing of “The Tiffany Network”, CBS?

Well, the silver’s certainly tarnished in terms of what CBS once was, and what it used to stand for.  We gave up on the Late Show years ago when we graduated high school and realized childishness and stupid human tricks weren’t funny, if the central human delivering this “yuck-fest” is a truly stupid human indeed. 

Some of you out there have daughters.  Some of you are someone else’s daughters.  We all have mothers and grandmothers and most of us have aunts and female cousins.  We hope you all have female friends.  And then there’s guys like us, who won’t sit quietly while David Letterman attacks the Palins in such filthy, disgusting, sexist and misogynistic terms. 

The Palins released their own statements today, with special emphasis noted in the message from Todd, a poppa grizzly who sums it up so well:

“Any ‘jokes’ about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it too,” Todd Palin, First Gentleman of Alaska, 6/10/09.

“Concerning Letterman’s comments about my young daughter (and I doubt he’d ever dare make any such comments about anyone else’s daughter): ‘Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/New York entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands – that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone’s daughter, contribute to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation by minors by older men who use and abuse others,” Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, 6/10/09

 

Get on that phone right now and give Sarah Palin’s office a call and you tell the Guv that, wherever you are in this nation, that you and the people around you SUPPORT THE PALINS.  You tell whoever answers that WE ARE ALL PALINS NOW — and that we will not sit still and let David Letterman and CBS get away with joking about raping minors and contributing to the exploitation of women by sick fiends like this late night yawnfest host. 

Here’s Palin’s office in Anchorage, where she spends most of her time:

Sarah Palin — Anchorage Office

(907) 269-7450

Don’t talk politics as it’s a government number and her staff can’t engage in political talk, but they sure can listen to words of support for the Governor and her family — and they certainly need to hear that the Governor and the job she is doing in our largest state is appreciated throughout the nation, and not just within Alaska’s borders.  WE ARE ALL PALINS NOW. 

Next up, you get on that phone and on email and you reach out to everyone you know who is a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, grandmother, cousin, or friend and you ask those women (and the men who stand with them) when is ENOUGH GOING TO BE ENOUGH when it comes to this sick, twisted, misogynistic garbage?  

When are the people who support women going to mobilize as effectively as the black community does in instances like the Don Imus nappy-headed controversy?  It took Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson a day or two to have Don Imus yanked off the air, and his TV show canceled.  

What’s going to happen to David Letterman after he promoted the rape of a 14 year old on national television? What’s going to be done to him after he compared a young minor to one of former Governor Eliot Spitzer’s prostitutes?  What’s going to be done to him after he degraded women?  

If these jokes were racial, he’d be off the air today. 

Because they are against women, and are about rape, the pattern is for Letterman to skate along without consequence.

Is that going to happen again, or are we going to finally band together and DO SOMETHING about this garbage this time?

A massive, organized effort needs to be waged to take down Letterman’s advertisers…anyone who advertises on his show, from this day forward, needs to be informed they are supporting the rape of young girls and their products need to be crossed off your shopping lists.  This garbage can no longer stand — and is only condoned by CBS because Letterman is a cash cow for the network.  Take away those ad revenues, and early retirement could be in Letterman’s future. 

But, there’s no Al Sharpton on the side of women to hue and cry over this…we need to do that ourselves…and we need to band together, Democrat and Republican, to do it.  

For Willow.

For Sarah.

For Hillary.

For Chelsea.

For our moms, grandmas, sisters, aunts, nieces, cousins, friends. 

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. 

We’re not going to take it anymore.
