Complete this form from the Olive Garden. They said they wanted to hear from their customers to consider if they pull adverts or not. Let them know your thoughts. Children are off limits especially if its a rape joke. Like rape jokes are ever funny.

Do we use the same form to support Letterman, all the other comedians who cracked jokes about Palin's daughter or the Clintons' daughter but that she didn't call out?

As I'm sure you know, he did no make any jokes about rape or children. He did make a joke about a sexually active adult, who got knocked up out of wedlock.

I think it's time to let it go. Palin got the media attention she desired for her campaign. A few people finally heard of that radio DJ no one had ever heard of before he organized a protest of ... 40 people.

All's well that ends well. Let's be adults now.

I'm not one of their customers and now I never will be. They should concentrate on improving the quality of their food rather than sticking their noses into politics. Are they trying to open a place in Whitesilla or what?

They should either pull their ads or not pull them instead of trying to jump on the attention bandwagon.

This may only be your personal opinion - and I base this on the number of people who frequent Olive Garden - including repeat customers - which would seem to be in opposition to your statement

I have been an Olive Garden customer for quite some time - and I will continue to be a customer of Olive Garden

Do you know how much money these little scandals make companies that poke their noses in?

Anytime you see "moral outrage" from businesses or government, you are actually seeing a grab for power or money.

The Clinton scandal is another example - no one in DC was outraged or surprised (and many had their own mistresses). They just saw a chance to grab power. Same with this little faux "outrage".

Dear Governor Palin,

You do not have a snowball's chance in Hades of ever being anything more than a visitor to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I would appreciate it if you would go back to Alaska and stay there to attend to the position the people of Alaska elected you to do. Also, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, please take your supporters here in the lower 48 back with you.

Thank you,
America
