For all of the military kids out there:

Last night David Letterman gave what I consider a sincere and honest apology to Sarah Palin and her daughters. This morning Sarah Palin accepted his apology and helped properly frame the entire situation by reminding people that our troops are out there helping preserve our rights, including free speech.
I think this thing was blown a little out of proportion, but I am extremely happy that it received at least some attention. The left has enjoyed a double-standard for quite some time and it is good to see someone actually held responsible for their own words.
Letterman relies on the accuracy of his writers. He surely had no idea that the younger daughter was at the ball game. Does the excuse “I thought she was 18, not 14″ matter? Legally, yes. Morally, not really. It was still a bad joke told by a guy that truly hates conservatives, especially Sarah Palin. Letterman owned up to that and finally took full responsibility for the stupidity of the comment. My only gripe about his apology is that he failed to mention Sarah Palin by name, instead saying “the governor.”
I think this kerfuffel is over now, let’s move on and focus on more important things. Might I suggest the rambling nonsense spewed by a man without a teleprompter?
First watch this clip for some high quality professional journalism plus a dose of z-snapping Obama defense

For starters, it is hysterical that MSNBC can’t spend a day without whining about what a popular talk show host has to say. They can’t get over it, they are like a gaggle of over-dramatic pre-teen girls. MSNBC is so afraid of anyone mocking their Messiah that they have to try and crush any voice in opposition to their uneducated, emotional, punch drunk attempts at news reporting.
As a dose of perspective please consider the following comments made on MSNBC by the world-renowned biased horses ass Keith Olberdouche:
- Dick Cheney is “as insane as any terrorist“
- he said about George W Bush: “There is a dictionary definition, one word that describes that toxic blend. You’re a fascist“ (man, did he get that one wrong, or what?)
- Olby also said of Bush: “You would not merely be guilty of siding with the terrorists. You would not merely be guilty of prioritizing the telecoms over the people… You would not merely be guilty of treason, sir… You would be personally, and eternally, responsible. We will not fear the recognition of the manipulation of our yearning for safety — we will call it what it is: terrorism.”
Puh-lease. MSNBC is the laughing stock of the cable news world, led by the pompouse Matthews and Olbermann. Olbermann’s uneducated yet overly worded rage has become so misguided and irrational that he has created a charicature of himself even more entertaining than that played by Ben Afleck. You, sir, are not worth the saliva you spew during your childish tirades. Your political commentaries are as thought provoking as the screaming of a spoiled child (was this you as a lad?). Go back to sports where you actually did something Americans could understand and appreciate.
