This whole topic is getting old, give it up already.


David Letterman - George Bush - YouTube
Nah, let them go on.
They look more ridiculous all the time.

Sl*t-Gate Hypocrisy: First Lady to Appear On Letterman

Not sure what message Obama is okay having conveyed to his daughters here? That its okay to attack and call a woman running for public office foul, sexist names? Or that fourteen year olds are fair game? Oh well, I guess the main message for his daughters was that its not okay for 30 year old liberal activist women to be called names but most others are fair game.
I sense you don't know the meaning of the word "misogynist."

And when Sarah Palin goes on the show, the response will be "that's different".

It's all about partisan politics, which is why all of this hypocrisy will be ignored by Obama and his sycophants on the left.

It's also why Obama took the time from his busy, busy schedule to call democrat activist, Sandra Fluke, but that not the mother who lost both her legs trying to save her children, during that tornado earlier this month in Marysville, IN.

How cute to hear the righties, the lovers of Dick "Go F**K yourself" Cheney referring to Letterman as foul-mouthed. The hypocrisy just never fails to be amusing.

I enjoy listening to Michelle talk. Very personable lady. I disagree with her husbands politics of course.

I think the OP is making a comparison between Letterman and Rush Limbaugh comments.

I can't think I've ever agreed with the OP before but even a blind squirrel.....

While I hate Limbaugh, calling for the government to shut down his radio show would mean that in all fairness the FCC would also have to terminate a number of other shows as well.

To you and the many others not getting the OP's point....Palin is not trying to shut down Rush's show via the FCC, neither is Romney and so on and so forth.

So, his comment is that it's hypocritical to try to shut down Rush using the FCC while ignoring comments made by Letterman and others.

Glad I can help.

When, exactly, did President Obama demand that Limbaugh be taken off the air?

Cite, please, and not from Breitbart's website.
