Statement from Meghan Stapleton, Palin spokesperson
Today at 8:08am
“The Palins have no intention of providing a ratings boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show. Plus, it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman.”
A major alphabet network late night host, drunk on the arrogance of a freshly-negotiated contract, started a public battle with the Palins that he can’t win. A sincere, no excuses apology is his only way out.
Major sponsors are already trying to pass the buck to local CBS affiliates. Why? Angry fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and grandparents of young girls are putting pressure on the sponsors, the network and their local CBS stations. It’s working.
Update: Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America, a national women’s public policy group, called on David Letterman today to formally apologize.

This, my Conservative brethren, is how you deal with the Left media. They didn’t try to be “nice”; they annihilated the s.o.b..

I asked the Mars M&M operator, to please send me a list of all the candy the company makes, so my family could choose another type of snack. There was some ackward silence after that…its working folks, keep calling these companies.
Sponsor Update
lyng (Diary) Thursday, June 11th at 2:09PM EST (link)Embassy Suites responded to one poster on Hillbuzz that they have taken down their space ads on Letterman’s website and stated that they don’t support Letterman.
His website has a smaller number of rotating ads which indicates that sponsors are quietly pulling their ads/financial support.
Outrage the public is voicing to his sponsors is making a difference.
I wrote my local CBS affilate here in the metro dc area voicing my displeasure and requesting a list of the local sponsors. Below is the contact info for those of you who may live in the DC area.

Its a shame I stopped watching letterman over 10 years ago, because now I can’t stop in protest.

Favorite Part About Palin
DavidSage (Diary) Thursday, June 11th at 1:59PM EST (link)Sarah Palin is honestly not my first choice for the nomination in 2012, but my favorite part about her is that she’s not afraid to go on offense. She doesn’t care if the media doesn’t like her, and that’s what makes her so dangerous to the Left. She’s fearless, and she isn’t afraid to throw a punch.
When you have Republicans like McCain that craves to be loved and “respected” by the media, you play on liberals turf, and you’re going to get beat.
Republicans need to learn that the MSM is never going to love or respect you, no matter what. They have an agenda, and it’s to promote liberals and destroy conservatives. Sarah Palin understands this, but unfortunately too few Republicans “get it.”
Palin and Gingrich need to give Reps lessons

Palin on the recent response to Letterman and Gingrich smacking down the gotcha reporter at the RNC.
Wake up REPS and learn that the left has declared war on you and the media are useful idiots if not many of them enemy combatants out of uniform!!!!!

Yep, He was explaining why he still has his El Cameno astroturf tendencies….
Turns out Hilary was at Abercrombie & Witch to update her Ice Princess wordrobe.
She’s handy to have around when someone gets hungry… No, yuck, yuck, not that kind…. he he…. She keeps frozen dinners stored down there…..
/PATHETIC AND LAME DL STYLE JOKES
Funny? No…. Poor taste? Certainly…. That is what makes those jokes PERFECT for DL and I offer them to him FREE OF CHARGE!
Isn’t it amazing how much we hear lately about how it is “their job” to make fun of those IN POWER….. The only thing FUNNY about that is that they expect anyone to buy that crap…. Did I miss something? Did Palin somehow pull off a miracle and get elected as VP under the First MUSLIM President (nope, don’t worry – IT WAS JUST A JOKE, so that seems to make it OK per DL and the Left wingnut standards)….. When does Palin get to take residence at the Blair House?????
Yo Dave…. The CHILD-IN-CHIEF (for all his tantrums of ignoring our Allied Nation’s Leaders [Sarkozy incident] and the pathetic gifts to just INSULT them) and the country COURT JESTER Biden are IN POWER! But we certainly can’t expect you to make “fun” of them, especially the Radical-In-Chief [he's He's Black you know, can't go there - AS IF HE WOULD HAVE TO FACTOR ANYTHING TO DO WITH RACE TO MAKE FUN OF THE TOTUS), they are fellow Uber-Socialists like DL so he has to DEFLECT and cover for them. I think Dave is, in part, admitting his ignorance and the inability of his worthless writing staff to be able to stay away from something that might even "accidentally" be remotely considered Racist [see: Stop Monkeying around].
Anyway…. enough of this…. Take care friends and Regards from NoMoTown (The MOTERlessCITY)

bubbagump29 Thursday, June 11th at 8:04PM EST (link)Yes, the liberal NOW.
(Via FoxNews)
Of course, they compared it to Rush Limbaugh calling 13 year old Chelsea Clinton the White House dog, which misses the magnitude difference of the two offenses, but the fact NOW is recognizing the jokes were a problem is significant.
It's a good thing
