For us Democrats seeing Bush and Cheney depart was bitter-sweet. The duo plunged the Republican brand to record lows. Even Nixon left the Republican party more popular than these guys.
We Democrats wondered, "Who could we make fun of when they are gone?" Then John McCain picked Sarah Palin. She's the gift that keeps on giving. On Today she continued her attack on Letterman, claiming again that Letterman joked her 14 year old daughter should be raped.
This is so beyond any sort of reason that it gives me the shakes.
Please let me know how this story is playing in Peoria, or more likely, Cedar Rapids. It strikes me as one of the greatest over-reaches since Terry Schiavo. The difference now is that Palin is side show circus act. Back then it was more scary because they were in charge.
Update: I don't like the title of this post. It implies that she was setup. That's the cry of Republicans for the Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric interviews. Apparently, asking someone what newspapers they read is a setup. Anyhow, Letterman didn't bait her. He made jokes. She chose to feign outrage and make accusations with zero grounding in reality.
