I, for one, love it that crap like this keeps the Rabid Right preoccupied. Keeps their focus off of the truly important stuff like the umm....election.
So everyone on this thread would be okay with Letterman joking about A-rod "knocking up" Malia right? She'll be 14 in a few months, same age as Willow when Letterman made his "joke" about her. The point the OP is making is that if the President is so outraged about a 30 year old called a ****, shouldn't he be similarly outraged about a joke about statutory rape of a child, esp. since he claimed his outrage was partially due to his daughters?
I don't have strong feelings on this, but I think people are being pretty disingenuous on this thread. Or perhaps deliberately obtuse.
Noooo, what I am saying is that the statement that the President called for Limbaugh's apology or that he wanted Limbaugh taken off the air is patently false.
The GOP Presidential candidates didn't seem to have a problem with Letterman, are you just as peeved at them?

I can answer that for you.
No, he's not just as peeved at them because they did not call out Rush Limbaugh. The OP is stating that since Obama called Fluke to tell her that he was sorry her character was slaughtered by Rush just for speaking to a congressional panel, that now the Obama's should never appear on any TV show where the interviewer has called people names that were derogatory.
"The same White House demanding that Rush Limbaugh be taken off the air is apparently okay with the First Lady of the United States appearing with the same David Letterman who "joked" about Sarah Palin's 14 year-old daughter getting "knocked up" by Alex Rodriguez and compared the Governor herself to a "slutty flight attendant." "The hypocrisy here is breathtaking." 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.
So EVERYONE who ever appears on Rush's show supports 3 day X-rated rants against women for expressing their opinion?
A strictly partisan thread, hypocrites on both sides.
The video of Bush, if anyone bothered to watch, was one from when he was running for President, before the Palin comments.
