Okay, we here at the Grove usually don’t like to involve politics with the comedy, but this time, politics is getting involved with comedy in a big way.

Petition to Fire David Letterman over a joke he’s apologized repeatedly for

Give me a break! This is just Sarah Palin postering to get more media coverage, extending her 15 minutes of fame in the spotlight. If she had never been plucked from obscurity to run as the GOP VP candidate, this all would have never happened…at all…no joke, no protest, no blowing anything out of proportion. But now it seems to have all gone to her head and she is on a crusade to show how much power she thinks she should have. I mean, really…it was a joke (true a joke in poor taste, but David Letterman has apologized repeatedly…how many times should one repeat an apology before the Palin camp…one who touts being Christian and such…accepts it and lets this die?) and that is it. How many politicians families have been the brunt of late night talk show jokes over the many, many years these shows have been on the air? Too many to count!

And as I have mentioned, if Sarah Palin is the true Christian she claims to be, isn’t one of the tenets of Christianity to forgive and not hold a grudge? Which is another thing we here at the Grove do not like to mix into the humor, talking about religion. But I cannot hold my tongue on this one because of the hypocrisy I see repeated over and over in this country by the Christian Taliban here. There was a rumor that this country was founded on freedom of religion…sure, you are free to practice their religion. You are free to follow like blind, mindless lemmings the path they choose for you…what to watch, what to read, what to surf the internet for, all while they are not practicing what they preach.

To the Honorable Sarah Palin, please, I ask you so very politely, please accept David Letterman’s apology once and for all, call off the protesters and go back to governing your state. Your 15 minutes of fame as the advocate of Joe Six-Pack the Plumber are over. You have 3 years to plot your next move into the spotlight.

*steps off his soapbox*

Stumble it!
