After watching these clips above, if you do not want to immediately get on the phone and give The Olive Garden, Mars Candy, Kelloggs, Hellmann’s Mayo, and the rest of David Letterman’s sponsors an earful — AND write letters to every C-suite executive and board member of those sponsors — the you’re just dead inside.
Sarah Palin says it best in the clip above: the MSM thinks you are stupid and naive if you believe Letterman’s excuse that he was joking about “some other daughter” being impregnated by Alex Rodriguez at a Yankees game in New York. The only Palin daughter at that game — the game Letterman “joked” Palin’s daughter was forcibly impregnated by Rodriguez at — was 14 year-old Willow Palin. When the only daughter at the game is the 14 year-old, and Letterman says “Alex Rodriguez knocked up Palin’s daughter” at that game, then David Letterman is laughing about the statutory rape of a 14 year-0ld by a 33 year-old man.
As Palin notes, it took Letterman a few days to come up with the spin that he “meant the joke for another daughter”, a daughter who was thousands of miles away and nowhere near a baseball game. Alex Rodriguez is certainly a great baseball player and we imagine he must be incredibly well-endowed for David Letterman to drool so much over him and remain so obsessed with him, but even the great A-Rod cannot impregnate a teenager thousands of miles away.
So, Letterman’s “joke” doesn’t work if it’s not about the daughter who was actually at the game.
And that daughter was 14 year-old Willow Palin.
Does the Olive Garden support the statutory rape of a governor’s daughter, as jested about by Letterman?
What about Mars Candy, one of Letterman’s big advertisers? What’s their corporate position on statutory rape?
How about Kelloggs? They dropped Michael Phelps after a bong hit — will they stand by David Letterman as he encourages the exploitation and brutalization of minor children?
Corporate America keeps David Letterman on the air.
Consumers keeps corporate America in business.
Companies choose where to spend their ad dollars, so consumers should choose which companies to support, and which ones to boycott.
We don’t know about you, but we certainly won’t be heading to any of Darden Restaurant Group’s properties, like The Olive Garden, while they continue to support statutory rape.
UPDATE #1: Pop Culture v. America: this round goes to Sarah Palin. Republicans, you really need to wake up. Sarah Palin is what the GOP needs, not the candidates the MSM and DNC want you to run, like Bobby Jindal, Charlie Crist, Mitt Romney, or John Huntsman. Those four men will go down in flames to Dr. Utopia in 2012. Sarah Palin will wipe the floor with the Dems and become our first female president. As much as we want that honor to go to Hillary Clinton, you better believe will we work our hearts out for Palin if she runs for the White House. Liberal activists like Letterman attacks the Palins with vulgarity like statutory rape “jokes” because, like the article here says, Palin is “She Who Strikes Fear into the Hearts of Liberals”.
We’re centrists, Hillary Democrats who love this Guv. We will always have her back — and hope she fights every day as well as she did this morning on The Today Show. Go, Sarah, Go!
June 12, 2009 at 12:00 pm
I am sooo glad that Sarah got to have her say and was not cut off by Matt Lauer. He tried but she kept going and he let her.
However, I don’t want all this to overshadow her accomplishment on the pipeline. She has another interview with Wolf Blizter that airs tonight and she is speaking about it again. I would like her now to simply say that she has said her peace and that the ball is now in Letterman’s court as to whether or not he is going to properly apologize.
I just don’t want the left to turn this into a whine fest and take the focus off her monumental accomplishment. I would really, really like to see her talk policy and direction for America.
Sarah Palin is a strong bright leader and she needs a person on her team that can help shape her messages.
I can’t wait for her book. I do hope she quickly follows it up with on outlining her vision for America and how to make it happen.
Finally, she looks HOT!!! Love the hair Sarah!
June 12, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Can’t catch Blitzer at 4:00 but I can’t wait for the 6:00 airing!
June 12, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Sarah rocks!!!
Why isn’t anyone giving Sarah credit for the fact that a majority of Americans identify themselves as pro-life now. She made it an issue by actually living what she believes, through Trig. No one is connecting this change to Sarah Palin. It’s just shows her power. To be able to get into people’s hearts and minds, without them even knowing it was her example, speeches, and her family that did it.
Run Sarah Run! 2012!
June 12, 2009 at 5:57 pm
GREAT INTERVIEW… Keep it up Sarah.. Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, the only 2 conservatives standing up for us..
June 12, 2009 at 6:09 pm
Sarah is my kind of woman. She said everything right in that interview. She got to the heart of this issue: the thread of casual contempt for and hatred of women that runs through our culture. And she neatly slammed all the idiots who think it’s so “cool”.
SARAH, YOU ARE THE BEST. Women have need someone like you for such a long time. You are the woman we need to help us achieve true respect for women and girls. Finally.
June 12, 2009 at 12:11 pm
hi, friends,
I just printed out 13 carefully written letters to C-level execs, and will address, stamp and mail them. I will also make calls – I agree, these sponsoring companies can minimize our efforts by circular filing our letters in the mail room, and certainly have key word filters on their email to avoid dealing with our emails except for an auto-response.
What I asked for today, in my letters explaining why I was no longer going to patronize that firm (and saying where and how I had done so in the past):
“I will only patronize the Darden restaurants again if a) you take a very strong public stand regarding the inappropriate and degrading nature of Mr. Letterman’s comments, and b) takes concrete and verifiable steps to stop advertising on the Late Show – including steps to ensure that Darden restaurants will not be inadvertently advertised through media buyers and other placements.”
[for Olive Garden]
This doesn’t go far enough. I’m now going to ask for a complete suspension of all advertising on CBS and any of its affilitated companies, until CBS itself comes out in the strongest possible manner, reprimanding Mr. Letterman. No equivocations. No weasely excuses, or back-handed swipes at the governor and all those people of good will who are behind her on this. Of course my letters, emails, and calls will be a bit more judiciously worded, of course, but very firm.
Peter
June 12, 2009 at 12:11 pm
I have made calls to Mars, Kelloggs and Olive Garden. Mars has a half-hearted canned “public statement” you can listen to if you call 1-800-222-0293. Kellogg’s has essentially stopped taking calls, stating their consumer/public affairs staff is “in training” (ha!), Olive Garden was polite and stated they are working on a response and will send it to my e-mail account.
I e-mailed Nina Tassler, Kelly Kahl and Kim Sartori at CBS the following:
Ladies:
I am writing to you today to express my disgust and displeasure at the decision of CBS to promote degradation of women and statutory rape as “humor”.
We all know that these shows are rehearsed in advance of airing, and therefore, these “jokes” had to be known by the producers and executives of CBS.
Your decision to allow such commentary to proceed is inexcusable.
As a university graduate in 1984, I had to endure sexual harassment as a female engineer in a non-traditional occupation. I even had to fight for the position, because even though my employer admitted I was the best qualified applicant (GPA, work internship experience, etc), they had never had a “woman in the plant before”. So the discrimination and harassment began even before my first day of employment.
From ketchup-soaked tampons tied to my locker, to taunts and slurs in the workplace, I struggled to be viewed with dignity and respected as a professional and an individual. Some days it was a struggle to put on my hard hat and walk the catwalks of the manufacturing floor, but I did it.
I fought that battle and thought that my daughters, 25 years later, would not have to endure that level of “humor”. I was wrong. I stood silently, fuming, during the election, as both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin were excoriated for being females with the temerity to run for political office. Silence equates to condoning that behavior, and I regret my silence then. I will not stand by for “more of the same”. Enough is enough.
Thank you, CBS, for deciding to vault us squarely back into the stone age under the guise of “humor”.
Letterman’s comments are not “funny”, they are not “acceptable”, and any half-hearted “non-apology” is insufficient.
I’m done with CBS, and I intend to contact your advertisers directly to advise them of my disgust.
June 12, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Damn, Moonpie, you kicked it out of the park!
June 12, 2009 at 2:40 pm
kudos to you Moonpie.
June 12, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Moonpie,
Any one who reads your letter and doesn’t have tears in their eyes before finishing it, has a heart of stone. Bravo!
Keep in mind that these folks we are writing, by and large, are screening our letters and emails automatically, to avoid reading them. They are, however, counting them. It’s almost by algorithm – 1-100 letters, ignore, 101-500, issue a tepid, weak statement that no one sees and no one reads, 501-1000, a press release, still weasely, 1000-2000, a little stronger statement, etc.
As the hillbuzz guys are counseling us, it will take a sustained effort over a number of weeks. If the numbers above are, say, 10,000+? 50,000? And over a period of time – e.g., no flash in the pan, no harm, no foul, let’s go back to bashing the Governor and her family, now inoculated from censure. Then maybe we will see some strong action.
Lastly, someone, somewhere, one of these C-level execs, or an assistant, will sit down and read all these heartfelt letters and emails, even if most of them will only count them. If that person is still a sentient being, our letters and emails will have an impact.
Peter
June 12, 2009 at 12:40 pm
You go, Moonpie!
Besides calling Mars (canned message) and Olive Garden (very nice lady), and writing to CBS HQ, I also wrote to my local CBS affiliate station.
June 12, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Kudos!!!! Moonpie’s letter and the others that have been shared here display a level of discourse that I find encouraging and refreshing in this age of idiocracy.
I would love to see letters such as this appear in the editorial sections of as many newspapers (remember those things?) and their websites as possible to reach an even wider audience. Open letters to these corporations may reach those who do not have the time nor inclination to avail themselves to sites like HB for their information.
Thanks to HB and everyone who is making a difference in this matter. We will not let this be swept under the rug.
June 12, 2009 at 12:54 pm
“Silence equates to condoning that behavior, and I regret my silence then.” ~ Moonpie
My take is: Acquiescence by silence is approvel through fiat. [Something to consider with the July 4th Tea Parties.]
And we see the approval for Litterbox’ humor by our ‘betters’ in the the Fellatio Media (Order of the Presidential Kneepad). Groveling, bowing and scraping is not optional.
As I said on another blog: There used to be a time in this country when a late night ‘comedian’ making a joke about the rape (statutory or otherwise) of a political figure’s daughter, taking place in a public venue like Yankee Stadium, no less, would have been fired. Just goes to show how low our integrity standards have sunk.
And, yes, Dave, a 63 year-old man making a joke about the rape of a 14 girl in a public place is not only in poor taste, it is creepy, in a Chester the Molester kind of way. Way to go, CBS.
June 12, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Rick -
Agreed — I am making it a point to bring up Obama’s chuckling at the “Bros before Hos” T-shirts that surfaced during the election, in response to those who claim that Obama is not a misogynist and “never” made any anti-female comments.
Laughing at “Bros before Hos” and staying silent at the “Palin is a C**T” T-shirts is approving of misogyny.
Had Obama made a point to openly condemn these “T-shirts” as offensive and not something that he supports/defends/approve, that would have been different. Where was the press conference, expressing disapproval, and demands that the campaign revolve around policy issues? Crickets.
The sad part is, he has two daughters. Does he naively think that somehow they are going to be exempt from a pervasive culture of demeaning women under the color of “humor”?
My husband gets it and speaks out — loudly and often.
Obama, Letterman and the rest of the women-bashers have revealed themselves as extremely insecure if they are so threatened by strong and capable women that they have to find comfort and solace in “jokes” or “commentary” that equates women to “sluts” or “hos” or “cunts”. Strong, confident, secure men are not threatened by strong and capable women.
June 12, 2009 at 2:52 pm
“Palin is a C**T”
My tough-guy heart literally broke when Sarah talked about Willow and Piper seeing those shirts and asking “Mom, why do they say those things about you when they don’t even know you.”
I haven’t been that angry till this Letterman thing.
June 12, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Don’t forget that in Iowa, they played the rap song “I got 99 problems and a bitch ain’t one of em’ as he and MO strutted on the stage after winning the state primary. NEVER, EVER did I think a single woman would vote for him after that, but they are still all ga-ga over this guy. It was a very sad day for girls and women everywhere. Of course it was played down by the media and his PR con-artists.
June 12, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Here’s a link in case anyone is shocked and can’t believe he’d stoop so low(which I doubt since we all know he’s gone as low as possible many times).
June 12, 2009 at 8:57 pm

Lauer was tough but fair and Sarah knocked it out of the park.
She should only do live interviews like this one so the corrupt MSM can’t do the slice-n-dice.
“He who must be obeyed” LOL SNAP! as the kids say!
June 12, 2009 at 12:19 pm
i agree BSB–Sarah owned this one…
June 12, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Sarah is nothing but CLASS!
June 12, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Sarah will be on CNN’s “The Situation Room” with Wolf Blitzer at 4 p.m. eastern time today.
June 12, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Here’s the CNN news release:
(CNN) – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is pushing back against critics of the proposed $26 billion natural gas pipeline in her state, saying demand for natural gas is on the rise in the United States.
“By probably 2030, we’ll see about a 40 percent increase in demand for natural gas,” Palin told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in an interview set to air at 6 p.m. ET on The Situation Room. “Domestically, we have the supply. The resources are up there in Alaska, and it’s time that we build this infrastructure and flow that very valuable resource into hungry markets throughout the U.S.”
Palin’s comments come in the wake of questions by some critics of the proposal whether there is an adequate demand for the massive expenditure.
The Alaska governor called those views “short sighted” and said the project is “right for our nation’s security and for our environment, for our economy.”
Watch Palin’s full interview with Wolf Blitzer this afternoon at 4 and 6 p.m. ET on The Situation Room.
June 12, 2009 at 1:21 pm
keep in mind, folks, that the current administration does not want this pipeline to go through unless they can take full credit, and they will do anything they can to stop it going through unless it can be characterized as a defeat for the governor. These guys play for keeps, and they are not very nice . . . And their definition of the public good appears to be winning at all costs. Would you like to have been a republican donating Chrsyler dealer recently? A Chrysler bondholder? A California official trying to head off a looming fiscal collapse, and having the temerity to trim modestly budget allocations going to the SEIU? A healthcare lobbyist meeting with Senator Baucus’s aides? An Israeli who goes to bed every night fearing for the survival of his land, and even of his family when they go to market or ride the bus – when you realize that the American President and his administration appear to be intensely hostile to the interests of the Israeli people?
Very sobering, indeed.
June 12, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Tne amazing thing about Governor Palin is that a couple of months ago she said that Dr. Utopia could have the credit for this if he wanted as long as it goes through.
Can’t find the quote but I know I read it. She loves America first and foremost above personal credit, and that’s another reason I. Love. This. Woman.
June 12, 2009 at 12:42 pm
I think David’s guests should be targeted as well, but then again they are probably all ant-Palin fanatics.
June 12, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Wouldn’t you love it if a guest scheduled to appear soon would say no effin way I’m coming on your show now? I would be a fan forever.

The key point I am making when I contact the advertisers is that I am “done” with CBS — and I am. There is nothing that they produce that I am interested in consuming.
The good thing about this past election cycle is that I finally realized how the MSM no longer produces anything close to objective or thoughtful. At least Pravda is forthright about their position as an official state propaganda machine.
As I explained to the polite rep from Olive Garden, it is their advertising dollars that are the fuel for the machine — and since I no longer watch/listen — their advertising dollars are wasted. The media share of CBS, CNN, MSNBC is decreasing, and their “influence” diminishing.
June 12, 2009 at 1:43 pm
This conservative Dem will vote for her in a heartbeat.
I read the deal for the pipeline was sealed today and the stamp of approval was issued.
The best part about this is that having Gov Palin oversee this, is not like having a crook oversee this project. Saracuda has STRICT environmental spill clean-up laws in place but no one talks about THAT.
She has fought the VALDEZ issue for quite some time and they would not pay for the spill. Then the great ‘pretender’s’ administration GAVE the Valdez owners billions from TARP to pay for the clean-up when the law of Alaska requires that the company responsible for the spills are supposed to pay for the clean up as a fine.
So we taxpayers foot the bill for the Valdez cleanup a decade later.
Additionally, a dude can’t understand what it’s like. Only women know what it’s like to fear walking alone at night or even in the daytime. How a woman has to alway be alert and on guard. And God forbid if a yound cute woman walks past a construction site and gets all the wolf whistles hurled at her. It fun to them but to a young women it’s a threat of bodily harm. You have to be a woman to “get it” unless you are a Hillbuzzer.
June 12, 2009 at 2:08 pm
I wrote this specifically to CBS:
am a Democrat. I am a businesswoman. I am a fan of “CSI”, “Two-and-a-half Men” and “Big Bang Theory.”
While people may disagree politically with eachother, I must strenuously protest when a supposed comedian attacks a young family member of a political candidate — and preparing a joke that includes a reference to statutory rape of a young girl who is targeted because of her mother’s career.
I stopped watching all of CBS News shows after “RatherGate”. I think it high time your people take a good, hard look at your staff and consider that insulting a larger core of the American audience is not going to create a successful business model.
I am applying the “Imus” standard to you right now. If you need a refresher, please click here:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/04/12/national/main2675273.shtml
I will no longer watch any CBS show until Letterman is fired. Period. No negotiation.
You will find many woman, and many Democrats, will not tolerate such disgraceful behavior. Enduring trite, condescending, and ill-informed remarks by the New York and Hollywood glitterati about Sarah Palin is annoying enough. Those about her young family, which seemingly target Gov. Palin because she is an effective American patriot, go beyond the bounds of decency — to the point I feel it is my civic duty to take action.
The day Letterman is gone is the day I will start watching again. Letterman stopped being funny years ago; surely, your team can come up with fresh new talent.

Leslie – Just awesome !
My GF/classmate & I chatted about this on the phone this morning, and she just e-mailed me the comment she sent via the CBS feedback form for the Letterman show:
“Humor” that relies upon calling women “slutty”, or “hos” or “cunts” or hint at statutory rape are not “funny” and are never acceptable — just like ethnic slurs against visible minorities are no longer acceptable public commentary.
My university professor once stated that clever wit is indicative of an intelligent mind. Perhaps it is time to find fresh, intelligent people to write your material.
I had to endure unbelievable amounts of sexual slurs, harassment, taunts….under the color of “humor” when I first entered the workplace. There’s nothing funny about it.
My Dad was my largest supporter when I wanted to follow in his footsteps to be a mechanical engineer, and spoke out early and often about this type of language that demeans women and serves solely to diminish their accomplishments and their worth as individuals. My husband is one of my biggest supporters, and also speaks out against negative language that gratutiously bashes women.
Your comments go beyond “tasteless” and sophmoric — to reflect alot about YOU and your staff.
Both of these men — my Dad and my husband — are intelligent, accomplished, strong and secure. Only insecure and emotionally stunted men who are afraid of strong and capable women resort to language like that used on your show.
Grow up. I have contacted CBS’s major advertisers to tell them that their money is wasted, as I no longer am willing to consume anything CBS, the misogynist network, produces. I am guessing that your show will be one of the “Top 10 Reasons” CBS’s ratings continue to go down the drain.

It is hard to fathom how any reasonably intelligent person could hear Palin today and conclude that she is stupid or not smart. Good grief, she is an excellent speaker, makes incredible common sense, doesn’t NEED A TELEPROMPTER. The fact that so many liberals try and say she is too undereducated or too stupid reveals how truly idiotic THEY are. Man she is awesome! It is obvious why the corrupt Democrat leaders fear her and continue to try and destroy her. Where is that twit Meghan McCain on this? Above her pay grade to defend another politicians daughter?
June 12, 2009 at 2:41 pm
They just want so badly to believe that Sarah is a moron, so that’s the narrative they recite like broken records…unfortunately, the corrupt MSM keeps banging that drum.
BUT…
The MSM GROSSLY UNDERESTIMATES the impact she has on the “regular folk” in the Midwest, for instance. I could see Sarah in line at the grocery store dropping things and saying “where the heck did Piper run off to?!”; she is a regular REAL person, and the the likes of Couric and her thugs have absolutely NO idea what “real” people are like. Look at Katie’s ratings.
Also, these painful, atrocious attacks are not going to work like a charm for the bomb-throwers who lob them–they make Sarah a sympathetic character, and will garner her more support. It’d be nice if they’d just STOP ATTACKING HER, but alas, the MSM should be careful what they do and what they wish for, because it’s going to explode in their faces.
June 12, 2009 at 9:58 pm
I am getting so mad at them being so happy to attack Palin that they are actually saying that the comments about the 14 year old daughter are acceptable, especially when it is women who are saying it. I keep having to remind myself that they are weak and that is why they attack her.
June 13, 2009 at 10:40 am
As a matter of fact that “twit” has been very outspoken in defending the Palins on Twitter since the original airing of the show and just wrote an article calling out Letterman and the MSM here:

don’t stop at the corporate sponsors. Hit back at those liberal journalists and bloggers who are voicing support for Letterman. Hit back at their sponsors. I wrote Nikki Boyer from Daytime in No Time at how appalled I am at her defense of Letterman. She is appalling aside from just being awful. AND who did her hair? Roto Router?
June 12, 2009 at 4:36 pm
That was one of the most impressive interviews I have ever seen. Everyone who sees this knows she’s got something special, she’s intelligent, quick with an answer, and won’t be pushed around. The libs will never admit it out loud, but I guarantee they all know in their hearts that she is a force to be reckoned with. I will proudly walk to the ends of the earth to help the Governor anyway I possibly can. They should be running scared, and I believe they are!
June 12, 2009 at 4:47 pm
C4P has a music clip up from a few days ago that plays Tom Petty’s “I won’t back down”.
What a GREAT song for Sarah! It keeps running thru my head now every time I think of this issue and every other attack on Sarah and Hillary.
I am still fantasizing that every in line for President is removed for one reason or another down to Hillary. That would make Hillary President and in my fantasy she picks Palin as VP!
What a great theme song this would be for them :)
Ok, off to the real world now.
June 12, 2009 at 5:36 pm
I loved listening to Sarah’s speech in Auburn, NY, and reading the commentary about her visits to sites that preserve the history of Tubbman, Anthony and Stanton. I hope she keeps her head down, ignores the MSM, and continues to reach out to middle America. They are clearly smitten in upstate NY. She is SUCH a contrast to Teh One.
June 12, 2009 at 5:17 pm
She is a real feminist. She celebrates woman for who they are, and does not try and reduce men like liberal feminist.
She is a great woman and has the best feminine qualities. We should have more feminist like her.
Letterman is helping her become next President. As soon the American people will resent all the main stream media, as they put Obama & Pelosi in charge, who have not fixed Government.
June 12, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I agree with you, Gov. Palin is a true feminist.

I think so to. I’m hoping this is the start of something big that turns the tide, creates REAL CHANGE in our society and achieves true respect between men and women.
Sarah is my hope and change!

placement of advertising on David Letterman. We appreciate your concern and

stereotyping. We apologize if we were unsuccessful in this instance, and we
will share your comments with our advertising agencies.

time to bring this to our attention.

I tried sending an e-mail via Alex Rodriguez’s website, but it wouldn’t go through….perhaps mailbox full?
I would like to see Alex step up to the plate and speak out publicly against Letterman’s comments. It also plays to the worst stereotypes and bigotry of Hispanic males as it does to the misogyny so prevalent in our culture.
It is enough for women to speak out; we need men to step up and speak out as well that this type of language is offensive.
I hope Alex does the right thing, and in doing so, defends his honor and integrity.

CBS has a phone number (212-975-3247) inviting comments about programming…
David Letterman didn’t use the word ‘prostitute’ but if he wasn’t implying that, what did he intend listeners to guess?
