I've stayed away from political issues for quite awhile because it seems SOME people who comment on blogs tend to attack the author of the entry rather than the content of what's been written. Such behavior shows that the person doing the sniping lacks the thought process to form a meaningful opinion. With that said, let me express my continued disdain for the self-righteousness usually displayed by Elisabeth Hasselbeck.  I can't believe how unrealistic she is regarding comedians and the material they use. 

Somehow, I don't believe explaining to her that most comedians get their material from two sources (their own personal life and the lives of those in the public eye) would make a difference . Perhaps Whoopi Goldberg or Joy Behar did exactly that with no success thus explains the look on their faces when Elisabeth went on a her rant about Davis Letterman. If Sarah Palin wanted her children kept away from everyone’s scrutiny, then she should have kept them protected by not flaunting them in public every chance she has.  Okay, sure David Letterman's joke about A-rod "knocking up" Sarah Palin's 14 year old daughter during the 7th inning was tasteless, but what comedian doesn't cross the tasteless line most of the time during their routine. 

Need I tell Elisabeth that there ARE sexually active 14 year olds out in the world...just ask Sarah herself about teenage promiscuity.  Oops, I didn't mean to imply that Sarah was doing the horizontal bop as a teenager, but correct me if I'm wrong...didn't she drag her pregnant unwed teenage daughter, Bristol all over the campaign trail? Pardon me, if I don't feel her children should be exempt as being the brunt of any joke, tasteless or otherwise. 

Elisabeth, I know you're a big Palin supporter, but until Governor Palin grows a brain, no one, not even her own party will ever take her seriously.  I find it humorous how the self-righteous always huddle together making non-issues into something barely newsworthy (mountains out of mole hills).  Palin ought to try to get in the news for something a little more newsworthy than what some scandal sheet might publish. Nice try Elisabeth, but like your co-hosts on The View, I stopped listening to you as soon as you opened your mouth. Perhaps those who care to comment might also leave the name of their favorite tasteless comedian or comedians so we can see how long the list really is.
