More Palin-Bashing... Today Show Comedian Says She's Like Herpes **
If there's one thing I could do for the GOP in situations like this it's teach them how to respond to fools. They're doing it all wrong.
Letterman makes a demeaning "joke" that excites all the mouth-breathers in his audience and of course the press then runs to the subject of the joke for the expected outraged response. The response goes back to Lettermen who fires off another volley and the whole circus repeats itself.
Let me help Gov. Palin and any other Republican who finds themselves in this situation. The two best ways to respond are very simple:
- Ignore it and walk away
- Respond with humor and ridicule
I prefer #2. Try this next time (I'll use Letterman in the example, but feel free to exchange that name for the tormentor of your choice):
Boom, problem solved. Giving credence to something a late-night comedian says by getting all huffy and outraged doesn't solve anything. If a monkey flings poo at you you're not going to make it stop by getting indignant. Fling it back and hit it right between the eyes.Mainstream Media Flunky: "David Letterman said you look like a slutty stewardess. What is your response?"
Target of Letterman's "joke": "Who the hell cares what Letterman says, he's a comedian." (Adding a reference to Letterman's own bastard child is optional.)
