"Palin is in the public domain" That's not a reason, Moonbeam.

Let me try again to explain this to you. Palin is in the public domain.........she chose that life when she ran for governor and VP. She has made millions off that life.......and is loving every minute of it. Sandra Fluke is a private citizen who agreed to testify in front of Congress. Limbaugh had no right turning her into a national spectacle because he didn't like what she had to say. I think Limbaugh was well within his "rights" to say what he said. When she decided to put herself in the public eye (she was not compelled to testify, she did so voluntarily) she became a public figure. Just like Palin. Certainly, Palin's young daughter (who was also a target of Letterman) did not choose to become a public spectacle. Anyway you look at this, the behavior of Letterman and Maher was not unlike that of Limbaugh. Yet, you find one to be acceptable but not the other. You're a two-faced liberal. I don't approve of any of the remarks and find them all to be distasteful.
