David Letterman made a joke about Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees knocking up Palin’s daughter when the Governor and her daughter attended a recent Yankee game. While Letterman was referring to Palin’s oldest daughter, who did get knocked up during the presidential campaign, the oldest daughter did not attend the Yankee game, Palin’s 14 year old daughter did.

In an obvious attempt to boost his sagging TV ratings, Letterman, a liberal Democrat, unleashed his shocking joke, clearly knowing he would stir up a hornets nest of right wing fury in the national media. Mission accomplished.

And of course his TV ratings increased as planned.

Governor Palin was both hurt and outraged by Letterman’s insulting joke. However, it was just a bad joke. Letterman apologized and that’s probably all we will hear about it. Sure, this bad joke may have hurt Palin’s feelings, but consider what she has been doing to other mothers and daughters around the world.

Imagine how the mother of a 14 year old girl in Iraq feels when her daughter’s legs are torn from her body by an American bomb. Or, when an innocent 6 year old Iraqi child is murdered, dismembered, or blinded by an American soldier?

This doesn’t justify what Letterman did, but it does put it into context. Sarah Palin, just another ignorant, criminal, or cowardly politician, has been all for the U.S. imperialism in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Those of us who have actually done our homework, unlike Sarah Palin, know that American military presence in Afghanistan and Iraq is based totally and entirely upon lies and deception. America has become the world’s most diabolical terrorist nation.

The American military has murdered millions of innocent men, women, and children over the years, all in the name of greed, power, and control. Idiots like Sarah Palin are recruited by the leaders of The Empire of The City, the world’s most ominous criminal syndicate responsible for all wars, because she is so absolutely ignorant and easily controlled.

Sarah Palin probably doesn’t even know about H.A.A.R.P., the most frightening and lethal weapon ever developed, which is located in her state of Alaska. Yes, Sarah Palin is a pretty woman, just a really stupid one.
