Strongly agree and to add, I'm willing to pet Palin, and the butt end
victims of other jokes, will be laughing their asses off when Letterman or
the others, joke about someone else in the same fashion. Hypocrisy is a
major player within the whiners.
The bottom line is simple, they are mere words. If it's true, it bothers a
person. If it's not, why should it.

I had the same question & decided to look it up:
from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalachian_Trail#In_popular_culture
"In 2009, the phrase "hiking the Appalachian Trail" began to be used
as a euphemism for having sex or having an affair, after South
Carolina governor Mark Sanford's aides claimed he was on the Trail
when he was actually having an affair abroad."

I'm certainly not perfect myself, but I consider myself a fairly modern guy.
That means that women I find attractive have to have the personality and
attitude to go with the body. In fact, the mind is more important than the
body as far as I'm concerned. Even a perfect 10 body is a turn off to me if
the personality isn't there to go with it.
Palin is overly arrogant, bitchy and entirely self motivated ~ all things I
find to be a complete turn off in a woman.
In other words: GAGGGG!

This is or was supposed to be a discussion, something to be considered, not
a legal obligation for everybody to believe outright what *is* only your
opinion, just like mine. Considering how serious you are about the whole
thing though, I'd surmise most of your conversations go the same way in
short order.

Hey, if filtering me does it for you, then by all means, go for it. However,
if that's your immediate response to what I'd consider a general
conversation with no ill intent behind it, then I'm not surprised you've
only lurked for 12 years. Sounds like you just haven't had anything to
contribute except for letting us all know about the exceptional personality
of Ms. Palin.
> You wouldn't happen

Yeah, he's my brother. He thinks highly of Ms. Plain too, only he doesn't
appreciate her being a member of the NRA and her predilection for taking
pot-shots at the local Alaskan wildlife.

And Leterman is a comic. They say things like that all the time. Palin is a
target because of her extreme views anyway. The thing that galls me is
everytime somebody doesn't like a joke, they want to fire somebody or censor
the jokes.
It wa a joke. And good or bad, they all can't be good, it is still just a
joke. The joke police are incredibly scary. They don't like a joke and all
of a sudden, they want bllod. I can laugh at a joke, I can groan at a joke,
but I don't think we need or would appreciate the joke police. It is
censorship controlled by extremist wackos.

And any hope she has for the future politically just went out the window
with this announcement. This is the consensus of her fellow republicans. I
think it is safe to say that almost no one wanted this country bumpkin to
have her finger on the nuclear trigger.

As was pointed out by the media, Jay Leno made a similar joke months
earlier. Are you gonna go out and beat up Jay Leno now too? Palin getting
up there and acting like she is the ultimate american family with out
fashioned values is a target that almost anybody will respond too. You
expect comedians to not take a shot?
And like it or not, they both get up and tell jokes every week night.
Attaching enormous significance to one joke is unhealthy. Comedy ain't
pretty. There are comics I can't stand. You know what I do when I find a
comic insulting/boring/whatever?
I pick up the remote and either change the channel or turn the TV off. And
if I do this successfuly, there is no blood involved.

Yep, Letterman ain't nice. Maybe Palin didn't know this. I thought it was
hilarious how he took the whole Fire Letterman thing and turned it into one
big running joke. Which goes to show that he will mine anything for jokes.
He may not be nice. But he is a comic.

I don't agree with that, it's whether there was malice behind the source.
Anybody can be an idiot at a certain time and place (god knows I'm guilty of
that), so maybe the source was just being his regular idiot self. But, if
there was ill intent behind something then 'blood' might be appropriate.
Most people of reasonable intelligence can determine whether malice was
intended and guide their actions accordingly.
I didn't see the Palin/Leterman tetatet, so I don't know if Letterman was
just trying to crack a joke or not. Maybe he was just being his expected
regular idiot self, maybe not.

Not a damn thing.
As long as special treatment is provided to ethnic/cultural groups, as long
as labeling of "African American", "Mexican American", "Asian American",
etc., continues to define individuals and groups, as long as these
individuals or groups are allowed their own organizations which apportions
other groups (Miss Black America, All black colleges, etc.,), the end of
segregation will NEVER transpire.

Well, Tricky Dicky had some actual experience to back up his
slickness. He got my vote in '60, for which I am suitably ashamed, but
didn't come back far enough to get my vote a dozen years later.
Palin has now bagged her only chance to garner more governing
experience, albeit of a small state with special advantages.
My guess is she's been getting offers from speakers' bureaus all over
the U.S., and has seen a way to fund her family's fun for the rest of
her natural life. She's looking out for her grandkid...think about
maybe 70 to 80 speeches per year, at $25,000 a pop (or more), all
expenses paid, that sort of thing. Even after taxes, five or six years
of that, especially with a failed Prez nomination in the mix, she can
smirk at the world without a care to weight her down.
She's already started her line of excuses by saying the press is
against her. To me, the national press seems to be doing pretty much
what the national Repbulican Party is doing: scratching its head,
wondering what she's doing. I'd almost bet she and the first stud
worked this one up over drinks and dinner, with more emphasis on the
drinks.
After taking the month of August off, she'll make 20-30 speeches this
year, explaining how she's helping family values and the Republican
Party.

Well, I've wrinkled my brow for several minutes now and all I can come up
with is the canard that the war was about slavery. Slaves were black, Dr.
King was black, QED. In only three more iterations, we'd get to Kevin Bacon
(unless, of course, we get detoured to Idi Amin Dada). Of course all
thinking, rational, people realize that slavery was a complete fiction used
to stir up the Northerners.
The real reason behind the War of Norther Aggression was money. Cotton, at
that time, accounted for about 70% of the nation's exports. Without money
flowing in to the South for the purchase of their cotton, the South couldn't
buy the sub-standard manufactured goods supplied by the North. Without that
money, the northeners couldn't pay wages and would have to resort to slaves.
Giving credit where credit is due, however, the war material produced in the
North was sufficient to prevail.

She must never read the newspaper or watch the news. She has to know that

Lets see, Letterman makes a comment about her daughter that, if he had made
it about mine I would have had a piece of his hide. She calls him on it.
That is insulting him. Tis a strange world we have come to.

I agree there are too many aggrieved individuals who are eager to find
slights in the most innocent of phrasing as in: "Sometimes a BLACK man is
the BEST man for the cotton'-pickin' job!"*
The test should be in the intent of the speaker, not the sensitivity of the

Agreed. The way insults will stop is not by legal action; insults will stop
when the person making the insult gets the every-lovin' shit beat out of
them. If the insulter is a high-profile person - like Letterman or Perez
Hilton - the insults may stop sooner.

Agreed. Plus be ready to rise up in immediate righteous indignation and take
steps. Remember the adage: "All it takes for evil to triumph is to let the

Don't count her out politically just yet.
Remember Tricky Dicky?
Look for her to hit the lecture circuit or land a cable TV show.
Either way, she fattens her wallet and stays in the limelight.

There have been few wars in history that were waged for moral purposes. Oh,
that's the reason given for many (i.e. the Crusades), but most wars have, at
the core, been fought for economic motives.
You have a good point about free trade vs excessive tariffs. The South was
opposed to tariffs because nobody was trying to import cotton! Conversely,
cheaper manufactured goods from, say, England, were attractive to southern
importers (and equally hateful to northern industry).
I'll dispute "lots... opposed to slavery." There were many in the
Abolitionist movement, true, but they were more of a nusiance rabble than an
effective political force and even within the movement, schisms developed
regarding female sufferage and other peripheral issues. Remember, Lincoln's
Emancipation Proclamations (Sept 1, 1862) came significantly after
hostilities commenced in April 1861. Further, the Emancipation Proclamation
did not apply to slave holdings in the non-secession states.
Interestingly, the Emancipation Proclamation specifically excluded Texas.
I'm told that parts of the Piney Woods in east Texas still cling to the old
ways...

I know Letterman is a comic of sorts. And I would not censor him or
anything. I am just giving my opinion that by attacking the (I believe
teenage) daughter of a legit target he went just a bit too far. End of
comment. Anything said of Palin within the limits of our US laws is
fine with me. As with all politicians. Now how can we get rid of the
120 or so scummy NY State senators?

Nope. No need. You want to piss off a person who insults, laugh at them. By

Yup. My opinion. Go figure that the words the people type on

My attempt to show another side of things, based on personal
experience, eye contact, conversation, and no cameras rolling has met

politicians. Sweet Talking a constituent is a necessary attribute to the
trade. With few exceptions, not many politicians end up actually doing good
honest contributions to the public good. Jimmy Carter and Habitant for

No she isn't. SWMBO and I had lunch with her a couple months before
she became governor. She's real people. But after getting the "image
makeover" to try to shoehorn her into what the Republicans thought
would get McCain elected, there were inevitable cracks in the facade.
Her views didn't mesh 100% with "the message" and there were a couple
very embarrassing, very public missteps.
Everyone in this group has had good instincts that might have flown in
the face of the status quo... and depending on the circumstances, you
may have ended up with egg on your face. Or maybe you didn't have the
courage to let that inner voice out.
Sarah is respected because she is human, and honest, and her instincts
are good even if her experience isn't.
I am sure she felt the whole weight of success/failure of a
presidential campaign, and that kind of stress would bring anyone to
their knees.
We are all astounded and disappointed that she seemed to change after
that experience... and this latest move is a huge disappointment,
since Alaska has a ton of unfinished business. I have lost a bit of
respect for her if this resignation is an attempt at a run for
national office.
Call her inexperienced, but she certainly isn't bitchy or arrogant.
She is a genuinely good person. I don't agree with a few of her
views, but I certainly respect what she (in a short time) has done to
root out corruption in Alaska.
An anecdote: My wife is in charge of several crews of highway
flaggers, and Sarah has her flagger certificate. Very early in her
campaign for Governor, Sarah happened to be at an intersection my wife
was working and they had a couple minutes to chat. Sarah said " well
hey, if this whole Governor thing doesn't work out, could I come flag
for you?" now THAT, my fellow woodworkers, is Sarah Palin.

Is Palin Facing
Embezzlement Charges?
Updated: Saturday, 04 Jul 2009, 3:43 PM EDT
Published : Saturday, 04 Jul 2009, 3:42 PM EDT
a.. By MIKE BRODY
(MYFOX NATIONAL) - When Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin abruptly announced Friday
that she would leave office more than a year early, many wondered what she
would do and why she was resigning. Now we may have some answers.
Reports have surfaced that Palin may have quit her job because she was
trying to avert a major, yet-to-be-disclosed corruption scandal.
The crux of the rumor is that Alaska building company Spenard Building
Supplies (SBS) was awarded a contract by Palin to build a hockey arena in
Wasilla, Alaska, and in return, SBS helped construct the Palins' home.
According to Huffington Post blogger Shannyn Moore , "Both structures, it is
said, feature the same windows, same wood, and same products."
Max Blumenthal of The Daily Beast wrote that federal investigators have been
seizing paperwork from SBS in recent months, searching for evidence that
Palin and her husband Todd steered lucrative contracts to the well-connected
company in exchange for gifts like the construction of their home on
pristine Lake Lucille in 2002.
A 2008 Associated Content report states that though Todd Palin told Fox News
he built the home with the help of a few "buddies," public records revealed
that SBS supplied the materials for the house.
In her press conference Friday, Palin said she had decided against running
for re-election as Alaska's governor, and believed it was best to leave
office even though she had 1.5 years left to her term.
"Many just accept that lame duck status, and they hit that road," Palin
said. "They draw a paycheck. They kind of milk it. And I'm not going to put
Alaskans through that.
Andrea Mitchell reported on MSNBC that, according to "people very close to
Sarah Palin," she has "told her supporters that she is out of politics,
period. She is fed up with politics. She doesn't like her life. She feels
that she needs to raise her family."

Haven't heard it quite that way. AFAIK, one of the major reasons the
North didn't just let the South secede was the free trade issue - South
for, North against. At that time most of the federal government money
came from excise taxes. If foreign shippers bypassed northern ports, the
feds were up the proverbial creek.
But to claim slavery had nothing to do with it is ridiculous. There were
lots of folks in the north that opposed slavery and were in favor of a
war to abolish it. That was a better "cause" for the feds to support
than losing revenues.
Although I do remember reading a letter from a northern officer to his
parents (or wife?) back home wherein he expressed horror that he had seen
a southern slave owner actually shake hands with a black man! How'd that
old saying go? The south hates the Negro as a race and loves him as a
person, the north loves him as a race and hates him as a person.
Doggerel from shortly after the war, when rebel soldiers were being
offered pardons if they'd swear allegiance:
"I'm an old rebel,
That's just what I am,
And for this Yankee nation,
I don't give a damn.
I ain't sorry we fought'em,
I just wish we'd won,
And I don't wan't no pardon,
For anything I've done."

No. It wasn't a joke. He may have called it a joke after the fact, but
it was an insult pure and simple. And Palin wasn't the target of the
insult, it was her teenage daughter. It went far beyond the limits for
a joke and Letterman deserves far more consequences for the insult
than he received.
I agree with Deb, had it been my daughter Letterman insulted on

Does that mean you would have flowing blood to all who would insult you
and/or your family? Ask yourself....is it true?
It's overly sensitive to worry about mere words. Remember..."sticks and
stones.....", seriously, why would any person allow words to upset them
unless they are already uptight or extremely sensitive and unless they are
true and even then, who cares.
There are far too many uptight people in this society who want actions taken
against every little word spoken in a negative connotation. They all act as
if it's the end of their lives and they can no longer step out of the house.
Let's get real. People are raising a bunch of sissies when they whine about
some pathetic insult and even moreso when they try to take legal action
against it. The most important part sensitive people forget is to "consider
the source".
Seriously, many people need to grow a spine.

Come on now. Perhaps not much from her in the open mouth department, but you
have to admit she's a fairly attractive woman who still looks pretty damn
hot for an older woman. Hell, even the young hotties are great to look at
and moreso in the buff but when they open their mouths you want to trade
them in for a new tool.

Someone being their normal "idiot self" would simply increase the reason for
ignoring, wouldn't you think? Obviously, someone who's constantly an idiot
would have no stature due to that reputation. Therefore, even moreso to
consider the source.

What ill intent can become of mere words? Slander? That's against the law
and if not true, can then be proven, which then, would possibly be
justification of a lawsuit, which would hurt a person more than a beating.

Letterman's career is based on comediac performances. Of course his attempts
in front of an audience are mostly jokes, that's what he does to MANY MANY
people.

Wasn't meant to be. It turned out that way, though, as the governor was
trying to defend his selection of a black man for a state job in a state
that didn't recognize Martin Luther King's birthday.
I think that Playboy has an age limit that they have to respect.
A more suitable publication would be
Guns and Ammo or
Field and Stream or even
Good Housekeeping - the Cougars edition

Either that or a small book, where you record all your bowel movements.
