Why doesn't Sarah love Dave?

Well...for starters, his Top 10 List called her "slutty", then he followed that up with a joke about Palin's 14-year-old daughter Willow getting knocked up at Yankee Stadium by A-Rod during a game. And since jokes about statutory rape are just the gift that keeps on giving, the next night Letterman again joked about 14-year-old Willow.
"The hardest part of her visit [to New York] was keeping Eliot Spitzer away from her daughter," Letterman said.
So when John Ziegler interviewed Sarah on his radio program, Sarah called David Letterman "pathetic." And this MSNBC reporter, interviewing Ziegler, just could not comprehend why Sarah would be offended.
She should have laughed, right? Because not only are those funny jokes, who doesn't mind some geezer on national television mocking the virtue of their 14-year-old daughter?
Hilarious.



This woman was clearly over her head, stopping the interview after each of Ziegler's answers. It was like a car ride that couldn't get out of the garage because the driver kept slamming on the brakes. And then I wonder, what was that last bit at the end about her being a "common sense thinker"? When did the interview become about her?

This is what happens when journalism is no longer journalism, but a propaganda machine. You aren't allowed to stray from their talking points or they cut off your mic.

UPDATE

Rush made a good point. The MSNBC reporter doesn't understand why Sarah Palin should be offended by David Letterman calling her "slutty" and joking about her 14-year-old daughter, yet she ends the interview upset and saying how Ziegler has offended her?
So offense for me, not for thee.

UPDATE II

Todd Palin responds:

"Any 'jokes' about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too."
