And perhaps, vice-versa? It can’t be mistaken for anything else; it’s crystal-clear and just that simple. Ta-da! Shenanigans, anyone?<br /><br />Letterman certainly didn’t know or care who was in the Governor’s entourage. Can you imagine that he took time out of his life - in between taping shows, I guess - to pick on Sarah?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36331360.post-24080419748829362512009-06-13T11:18:42.941-04:002009-06-13T11:18:42.941-04:00I had a similar reaction to the story.

And, what's worse - as you mention - is the implication that Sarah is offended purely because she assumed the joke was aimed at one daughter in particular.<br /><br />It's almost as if her extended response could read, "You can say that trash about Bristol as much as you like, pal, we all know she's a loose tart but no insulting the younger one!"<br /><br />There are several serious flaws in Sarah's logic and thought patterns in this scenario. I'm not even American but I can't tell you how relieved I am that she never made it into the White House.Dr Ranke Welchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796308865068506150noreply@blogger.com
