Sarah Palin claims this photoshopped image of her cuddling an Alaskan media enabler--a fundraising thermometer for investigating her corrupt administration--is an outrageous attack on her Downs Syndrome son, whom she was cuddling in the original.
Are you stupid enough to believe her?
During the Palin/Letterman kerfuffle, the smartest thing written or said came from Alaskan blogger Shannyn Moore, whose diary "Top 10 Reasons Sarah Palin's 'Outrage' is Misplaced and A Little Late..." received far too little notice, even though it was picked up by Huffington Post. As Moore wittily revealed, there was, unfortunately, absolutely nothing new or unique about Letterman's joke, it's just that Palin had run out of more appealing options:
10) Last September, a skit on Saturday Night Live suggested incest in the Palin family. "What about the husband?" asked a mock Times reporter. "You know he's doing those daughters. I mean, come on. It's Alaska!" No outrage. Sarah Palin appeared on the show one month later in late October.
No poutrage over this earlier photoshop with David Letterman.
