Kathleen Parker: Palin kind of asked for those nasty Letterman jokes, didn’t she?
posted at 4:45 pm on June 11, 2009 by Allahpundit
Via Gateway Pundit, an uncannily similar reprise of Bonnie Erbe’s shot at Michelle, with Parker in the Erbe role and Palin standing in for MM. Yes indeed, says Parker, Letterman’s “slutty flight attendant” joke was over the line. But that’s what Palin gets for winking at Rich Lowry during her VP debate with Biden or something:
[Question]: Listen, Letterman is a comedian. Comedians that don’t go over the line are not funny. If you said she looks slutty, that’s over the line. If I say it, it’s over the line. Why wouldn’t Letterman say it – have you been on a plane?
Kathleen Parker: I don’t have a problem with raunchy humor, but time and place are everything. In a nightclub, fine. But Letterman is sort of an American institution. It just seems to me that when a woman is running for public office, we should avoid sexualizing her.
Okay, I censored myself before so I’ll say it now. I also think it’s out of line for a woman to sexualize her candidacy, which Palin did. Just ask Rich Lowry, who wrote that he had to sit up a little straighter when she winked during the vp debate. So, maybe when you play the flirt and invite males to see starbursts bouncing off the walls (Lowry again), then maybe you invite the sexual punchline. I’m wobbling here.
Yes, surely Palin winking at a debate eight months ago is what Letterman was aiming at with the “slut” joke, not the combination of her being young, beautiful, and an ignorant low-class hick as caricatured by the intelligentsia. She asked for it. Go collect your feminist merit badge, Kathleen.
To cleanse the palate of Parker’s bile, I’ll give you a choice of sorbets: Claire McCaskill defending Palin on Twitter; Jim Treacher taking off the gloves against Letterman in the Greenroom; or the boss on Fox & Friends this morning fitting this incident neatly into the liberal-sexism oeuvre.

So, by implication, it would be accurate and acceptable for the Republicans to say that the Democrats’ aim is the destruction of the family, or at least of “family values”? Or that at least they aren’t at all important?

You guys are funny.
This place is turning into a troll masquerade party, isn’t it?

No, that’s not right. It’s just that your criticism isn’t legitimate. Because it’s yours. Simply because there are special rules for you, and only you. That’s just the way it is, so learn to accept it. :)
Brian1972 on June 11, 2009 at 6:07 PM
So now the Black Panthers don’t represent the Democrat Party, huh? Funny, you sure were eager to embrace them when they were hanging out in front of Philadelphia voting precincts back in November, dressed in military-style uniforms and wielding baseball bats, intimidating any and all white voters who showed up.
And I’ll bet you my next paycheck that come November 2010, you’ll be embracing them as Democrats again.
Gator Country on June 11, 2009 at 6:08 PM
Translation: Malkin doesn’t have the sense to be a good little race-traitor and agree to a proper sandbagging on MSNBC.
Come on Lizza, go ahead and get it out. Call her all the racist and hateful names you have banging around in your head. It’s ok. All your friends have been doing it with relish for years. She’s not actually human, y’know. Not like you. It’s ok to let it all hang out and scratch that itch.

True. “She’s stupid” or “she’s white trash” aren’t criticisms, they’re smears.

As long as Kathleen Parker and Peggy Noonan can still attend the wine and cheese smokers with their lib buddies in Georgetown and Foggy Bottom all is well.
Dire Straits on June 11, 2009 at 6:10 PM
Strange you should bring up the New Black Panther Party, Lizza.
Maybe you missed this wherever you get your news on a regular basis: Have you heard how Eric “We’re a nation of cowards” Holder’s Justice Department just threw out a default conviction against members of the NBPP who refused to mount a defense against charges of violating the Voting Rights Act?
In case you don’t remember (or weren’t told by your selected news source), two NBPP members wearing a military-style uniform (complete with jack boots!) stood in front of a Philadelphia polling station on election day in November 2008. They were issuing threats and racial slurs at white people. One of the thugs was carrying a billy club (click for video).
One of the defendants in the Justice Department suit, Malik Shabazz, is the SAME person who called Malkin a “political prostitute” in April 2007 when she guest-hosted The O’Reilly Factor. So it seems that AG Holder simply chose not to put the African-American equivalent of a “survivalist, anti-government militia crank” (your words, not mine) behind bars when he didn’t even have to put up a fight to convict them.
Defend that.
Oh, really, Lizza. Last time I checked, Fox News was beating the lib nets like a rented mule. People are seeing the conservatives; it’s the liberals who won’t dare step before Fox News’ wider audience that are hiding on MSNBCNN.
(After the abdication of Alan Colmes, sometimes I wonder if Bob Beckel has time for a bathroom break between appearances on FNC.)
The primary reason Malkin doesn’t do much of the on-screen back-and-forth anymore is because she quit the job of being O’Reilly’s primary guest host when — apparently — O’Reilly didn’t come to a convincing defense of her against Geraldo Rivera, who said he wanted to spit on Malkin over their differences over immigration issues.
But if you wanna debate Michelle, OK, you alone have the floor. What did Malkin say in the above video that you disagree with?
Don’t chicken out.

It will be somewhat funny to watch the Kathleen Parkers of the world after Palin walks home with the agreement between Exxon and TransCanada to fold Exxon into the Pipeline project.
This sort of opens the door for BP and Conoco Philips to jump in while the jumpings good.
This is a huge day for Sarah Palin.

I’m thinking nice343. Hence the anti-Michele Malkin sentiment.
FontanaConservative on June 11, 2009 at 6:14 PM
So, are you saying that Democrats run on an anti-family values platform
Have given this little thought ’til now—but, inherently, they do. Not in so many words, but in platforms, actions and causes celebre. Much of what they purport to stand for is anti-family as this has been defined until recently.(when these same Dems set about altering the definitions)Looks as if these new definitions are now considered the norm though and anyone who might not find them so is, of course, narrow minded, small and bigoted. But, darned if I find I’m not somewhat torn between the old definition of family values and the new ‘broader tent’. And..to make it even harder for me to reconcile, I cannot stop putting it into the Biblical context of St. Paul including the gentiles against all the norms of his time and by doing so, spreading Christianity world wide…a broader tent??? For sure.

Also, Michelle was guest host on The Factor for a while, and had many one-on-one victories there, until Geraldo freaked out on her and said those stupid things he said, and O’Reilly took Geraldo’s side, so Malkin quit the Factor.
I agree MM did a great job on the Factor. If she doesn’t get her own show I’d like to see her as a member of the panel on Special Report or Hannity.
USAF_RET on June 11, 2009 at 6:17 PM
Thanks for posting Michelle’s appearance on Fox and Friends.
The double standard MM speaks of is clear. Democraps only desire power. They lust for power. They will do anything, including ignoring the misogynistic comments of a nearly brain dead second-rate comedian if it suits their purpose, which in this case is to minimize and ridicule their opponents (and their children).
Well done Michelle.

After all, you probably don’t remember much of what happened that day. I’m sure you spent the entire election watching nothing but Fox News, and when they called Ohio for Obama you passed out, standing up, and crashed head-first to the floor.

The majority of her criticism has been focused around her children, her folksy speaking habits and the price of her clothing. And they usually end with some sort of smear or derogatory comment. I’m sorry, “slutty” or “Caribou Barbie” is not a legitimate criticism.
If her critics want legit policy disagreement to be taken seriously they need to stop peppering it with the above and worse.

Oh, and how again did Alex Rodriquez Ask for it? How did flight attendants ask for it.
And last, but by no means least, how was it that Willow Palin asked for it?
lsheldon on June 11, 2009 at 6:25 PM
That’s what liberal call substantive criticism. The way Palin makes them freak out gives me hope that she might be a real winner for the conservative cause.
dpierson on June 11, 2009 at 6:25 PM
I’m not excusing the liberal media’s horrendous and hypocritical treatment of Palin and her family. Nor am I criticizing her for not having a “perfect” family.
What I am saying is that considering the Republicans supposed pro family values platform, was it proper for them to celebrate such a family situation as Palin found herself in? All Republicans wanted to do during the campaign was excuse Sarah Palin’s daughter’s illegitimate pregnancy by saying things like, “It makes them look more real,” or, “Everyone makes mistakes.”
But what they failed to see (and continue to fail to see) is that by talking like this they are excusing — or at the very least ,em>normalizing — this kind of behavior. So then how can Republicans/conservatives possibly come out against illegitimacy? How can they stand up for celibacy? They can’t, at least not without looking like rank hypocrites.
Republicans and conservatives used to stand against pre-marital sex and illegitimate births because they knew how much these things damaged society — morally, culturally, and of course financially. But now they celebrate illegitimacy by not only backing a VP candidate whose daughter is pregnant with an illegitimate child, but they celebrate it! Look how real the Palins are, how normal they are! Hurray!
And then they turn around and criticize welfare programs and other social ills that are the direct or indirect result of illegitimacy as though they are not themselves part of the problem. There is a huge disconnect here. And yet when I try to point this out, all I get in return from the “conservatives” here is childish behavior and insults.
It’s no wonder the liberals are winning. “Conservatives” have embraced the ideals of liberals, yet they don’t even realize they’ve done so.

What could be more pro family than a family sticking together working through adversity? At least there is a family there rather than a single mother w/o any support. I agree that during the election cycle campaigns do stupid stuff, like parading their family on stage etc, but I would argue that the McCain campaign was exceptionally badly managed and that Palin would probably not have done the same.
Also standing up against things like illegitimate births and pre-marital sex does not mean that only candidates that are 100% pure can ever run. Basically we have to pick from those with the fewest warts. I am anyway more concerned about relatives of politicians ending up in well paying government posts or working for companies that they regulate and then funnel money back into the campaign.
We are not electing the next winner on Idol, but someone who we think will make good decisions once in office.

There is a quiet rumble building among the millions of Americans who were taught to be polite and to respect differing opinions. We have been silenced to a degree by the tactics utilized by the left to shame us into inaction. Cries of racism, sexism, homophobia and others have been an effective tool of the left. A day is coming when the left will no longer be able to silence us through some perceived guilt or some threat of slander. Once these walls come down they will be exposed as the sheep they are, standing among the awakened wolves. Letterman is a shallow child who can’t begin to understand how he could possibly take heat for this. We need to make sure the heat gets turned up.
zman18b on June 11, 2009 at 6:39 PM
When you defend those that DO make these “criticisms” aren’t you saying them by proxy?
Palin may have any number of faults, but these personal attacks on her FAMILY are unjustifiable. Your lack of understanding of this puzzles myself as it does most here.
If Romney’s son was being attacked, I would be just as vigilant in my defense of his children NOT being attacked.
Your “intellectually capable” crack is humorous coming from someone with the lack of upper function. Go watch the traffic lights turn colors. You’d get more out of it than reading the big people talk.
portlandon on June 11, 2009 at 6:42 PM
I didn’t have to explain. I did it as a courtesy. Norwegian obviously didn’t read my posts carefully if he thought in any way that I was a fan of Obama. It’s clear from the comments I have made in this thread that I am not a liberal and do not side with their cause.
But I’m done with you portlandon. Laugh at me all you want, but it is you who is entirely incapable of distinguishing between the despicable name-calling of Palin from the left and honest criticism of her from the right. You are an intellectual midget who is unable to respond to legitimate criticism of a figure you look up to with thoughtful and well-reasoned rebuttals.

Well Lizza it’s apparent you don’t ever watch Fox because Michelle DOES go against quite a few liberals on a regular basis. By making that claim it proves how dishonest or uninformed you are.
Hardly, Malkin has no problem defending herself from the filth that’s constantly thrown her way. Playboy couldn’t “stand the heat” after they published the vile rape fantasy about her and other women so you seem to know very little about conservitive women’s strength and character.
Am I to infer by this juvinile fantasy that you consider contrived jokes about rape, or sexualzation of women in general and argument?
Conservative women don’t need to be shielded by anyone, considering “feminists” spend most of their time hurling the same hatefull invectite that the “men” on the left do I would imagine most conservitive girls can slap your disgraceful attempt at defending a misogynistic pig like letterman into the dirt with polished ease.

coyoterex on June 11, 2009 at 6:57 PM
“I would never, in a thousand years, ever be involved in molesting underage girls. I mean – LOOK AT ME!”
Wow. Those last three words were a REALLY bad choice for someone who looks like David Letterman to use in his defense. I don’t know how many lawyers he had helping him out on this, but I can’t believe anyone who’s seen him would have approved that – so it must have been an ad-lib.
The problem with “edgy” comedy is that people intentionally blur the line between TELLING a joke and BEING a joke.
And I think it’s pretty obvious Letterman’s been doing his tired old shtick for waaayy too long. There’s no way to do that without without becoming the stereotypical liberal: Someone so utterly consumed by his own pique toward the “grownups” of society, that he becomes incapable of separating his own self-loathing from the bile he tries to fling toward his betters; someone who honest-to-God can see absolutely no distinction whatsoever between parodying someone else, and making a mockery of himself.
David Letterman crossed that line. Hell, he probably did it decades ago, but no one noticed. Even in a language as rich as English, there is only one word to describe that. And Sarah Palin, as always, hit the nail right on the head: it’s pathetic.

Your argument seems to boil down to her not having a perfect family because her teenage daughter became pregnant out of wedlock.
Bill Clinton couldn’t keep his dick in his pants, but that didn’t stop him from being elected president. John McCain began a relationship with his current wife while still married to his first wife, but that didn’t stop him from becoming the Republican presidential candidate.
So can you explain to me how your argument isn’t a double-standard?

First off all, thank for responding in a reasonable and thoughtful manner. At least somebody here is capable of this.
It’s nice that Bristol has a strong family situation to lean on during this time in her life. But we need to remember that this is not a good situation that she is in, nor should it be normal. It’s not so much the support conservatives have for Palin and her family that I have a problem with; rather it is the fact that they have celebrated this situation.
Look at the language you used in your previous post to me:
Don’t you see how you have just normalized illegitimacy? Her family is “more like the average American,” and on these grounds you celebrate her family situation. This is not condemning illegitimacy, it is condoning it. It is normalizing it.
This is the problem I’ve had with her nomination all along, and why I think Palin was wrong to accept the offer, and why I think it was wrong for the Republicans to place their base in such a precarious position.

Obamas pro family
take a read
In his media avail, Obama just responded to reporters’ questions about the Bristol Palin story. Noting that his mother had him when she was 18 years old, Obama said families are “off limits” in campaigns. He was very impassioned.

I see what you are saying – but as a realist I know that we get to choose from a pre-selected list of future leaders. For my selection criteria personal character is more important than purity.
I like her, but no to the point that I think she is a perfect fit to be a national leader. The more the left wing media goes after her the more I have to think that she scares them and that could make it her the rallying point for disaffected conservative voters.

When people pointed out that you were just banned from here and demanded that you leave, you said you would go. Now you’re back. Can’t you ever keep your word?

I said I’d step out
then i said “later”
g0tmylifeback on June 11, 2009 at 7:13 PM
Unbelievably moronic on Kathleen Parkers part…Palin sexualized her candidacy by winking? Winking?
CarolynM on June 11, 2009 at 7:13 PM

A ban from HotAir should be more than for a couple of weeks.

No. This is not about perfection. It is about standing up for what you say you believe in.
Bill Clinton was a disgrace and he should have never been elected. He should have been ousted from office for his affair.
I didn’t vote for McCain. In fact, I can’t stand McCain. And I think the way in which he treated his first wife says a lot about his character, or lack thereof. Has he ever publicly stated that he regretted what he did to her?
I think given what I have said above, it is you who owes me an explanation as to how exactly I am operating under a double-standard?

Interesting it takes HotAir to get your life back.
CWforFreedom on June 11, 2009 at 7:16 PM
I can understand your point, even if I disagree. I think a lot of pro-Palin people are just a bit wary of the anti-Palin crowd’s motives. Kathleen Parker, (a so-called conservate who voted for Obama) who’s criticism of her started out moderately sane, has devolved into essentially “she got called slutty because she was asking for it.” Not saying you should be judged by other’s actions, but surely you can understand people being wary.

..should be “conservative”, not conservate..
BakerAllie on June 11, 2009 at 7:19 PM
Keep flailing.

If you’ve ever dipped in the sewage at Politico, there’s one called “3-Primed Cube” who spews babble just like this one. And calls itself a Republican.
Firefly56 on June 11, 2009 at 7:25 PM
Believe it or not, I can understand that. But what I have said in this thread is so far removed from the despicable name-calling of Palin that you get from the left that there is simply no excuse for people like portlandon to fail to distinguish the difference.
2Brave2Bscared on June 11, 2009 at 7:26 PM
April, O’ April, HA’s resident idiot, you are like herpes. I don’t care WHAT Kirsten Powers professes to be, pro-life, pro-choice, pro-three way, it does not matter. She is a democrat and she voted for obama, so as obama is pro-choice and pro-infanticide, Kirsten Powers is pro-choice by her vote.

This is a brilliant observation, actually.
What is “family values” on the Left:
1. Supports and values the right to kill your unborn baby over the rights of the baby.
2. Does not value the essential nature of marriage: Man + Women = Child.
3. Completely devalues any incentive for marriage even where the baby is not killed (e.g., no need to get married, no need for a husband, the state pays for everything and becomes the “father”)
4. In connection with #3, devalues the notion of “father” int he family, hence the new definition of family is single-woman, fatherless children, unemployed and welfare driven-families.
You get the picture. It goes on and one.
