Palin Vs. Letterman: Fake Feud?

When you're making a desperate play for the White House or you're battling a more approachable comedian, isn't this the perfect time for some fabricated controversy? Sarah PalinSarah Palin and David LettermanDavid Letterman's overzealous animosity is in itself a joke. I am no conspiracy theorist, however, wouldn't it be delightful to imagine a synergistic relationship between two enemies that are aching to stay relevant?

Just a thought, something for our brains to nibble on. Palin leapt onto the opportunity to again be interesting, in some way, to the mainstream media. What a better avenue for her conservative ideals than an argument with an overtly liberal late night behemoth who is just giving away ratings to Conan O'BrienConan O'Brien? Letterman's tiresome rhetoric is not attracting the younger demographics that have been following Conan since their preteens. Check out Nielsen and you'll see what I mean.

But now that Palin and Letterman are engaged in their semantic convo about how different the definition of sex is within this four year gap, both are again beaming in the spotlight. Palin, unfortunately, you live in a fishbowl. You must expect your name to come up in tawdry jokes told by old perverts. Letterman, you're losing your contemporary edge. Really, a top 10 on a failed VP candidate? You can't think of anything else but to galvanize Republicans around your poor choices and ill-chosen comedy? Too bad. You're not funny anymore.

So since both aren't making it with their own merit, why not join forces and play off their loosely veiled convictions? Wouldn't that be wildly strategic? What teamwork!
