Sarah Palin vs Dave Lettermen

It is no secret that David Lettermen and Sarah Palin do not get along. It is a common tradition for comedians and late night show hosts to make jokes about and even pick on  political candidates. Unfortunately, Lettermen took it too far when he made an inappropriate joke about Palins underage daughter. Yes, it is true that people consider those in the spotlight to be fair game, but their children should be off limits. After all, almost everyone has children.  In addition, the comment, "Sarah Palin's daughter has been impregnated by Alex Rodriguez",  insinuated that Alex Rodriguez was a pedophile.

Now that Palin's book is coming out, Lettermen has stepped up his campaign against her again.  Recently, Lettermen has had his own trouble with adverse publicity about his sexual activities.  He was forced to admit to extra marital sex to avoid being blackmailed. Although the right to free speech is a good and true right, Lettermen should remember the old adage, "people in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones".
