30. While I can agree that the joke was bad, Palin used her daughter in a more perverted way.
First, Letterman was out of line, as everyone hear would agree if he had said it about Chelsea Clinton or one of Al Gore's children (I know this, because I've seen DU blast similar jokes about Chelsea).

But Letterman made a pretty straightforward risque joke about an 18 year old. Sarah Palin made it worse. She transfered the joke to her 14 year old daughter, then claimed it was "sexually perverted"--an idiotic claim. Worse, her husband then claimed the joke was about "raping" a 14 year old.

Who exactly was it again who used their fourteen-year-old daughter and the image of rape for their own promotion? The Palins are sick people who pimped their teenage daughter for political points and a few seconds of air time. They should be ashamed, but since they are Republicans, I doubt they even know how.
