Pat advises Todd...

[lily]

Pat Buchanan said "Todd Palin ought to take Levi down to the creek and hold his head underwater until the thrashing stops."

Could have been worse, I guess. He could have said something about Bristol having sex during the 7th inning stretch.

[Drea]

s'all gooood... inappropriate comments only "matter" when a female's "integrity" (or lackthereof) is involved LOL

Where is the outrage at Buchanan? Shouldn't he be hung out to dry like Letterman?

Poor poor Levi! Just a horny young man who should've bagged it... now an international "celebrity"! Ha ha ha

[kimmy]

Well, Levi *is* an adult, not a 14 year old... this distinction made a WORLD of difference to David Letterman's supporters, so I thought it should be mentioned here.

But more germane to the issue: is it fair that Letterman and Buchanan are not held to the same standard?

Hell yes. The standards are different because the people and the situations are different.

Ask David Letterman himself if he'd like to be held to the same low standards that people like Coulter and Buchanan are held to, and he would be offended.

People like Buchanan and Coulter are held to very low standards, because people have very low expectations of them, because they are very low people.

Suggesting that David Letterman ought to be held to the same standard as those people would be a huge slap in the face to David Letterman. They're partisan hacks, agitators, trolls, and basically scumbags. Letterman? He aspires to be, in his own words, Our TV Pal. I expect better behavior from my TV pal. Those other turds, I couldn't care less about.
