Bad Jokes

David Letterman is in the news for his tasteless joke about the Palin daughter and A Rod. Personally I always preferred Jay Leno. While both are left wingers, Jay is a closer to the middle then most Hollywood types.

Should Letterman be fired, or retired, or taken off the air. I don't think so. I don't like the man. I like him even less after the joke and his half hearted apology, but I believe in freedom of speech. Which is one of the areas where I differ from the radical left. I don't see Letterman's joke to be any worse, or any better then what others have said like Don Imus and going way back Jimmy the Greek. Yet they were both fired for their comments. Even after they apologized. The only difference was the race of victim. It appears the left thinks it is OK to slander white conservatives, just don't dare to talk that way about a black, or hispanic, or gay.

I don't think you should talk that way about anyone and I don't believe in double standards.
