Well, in the first place, are we sure that the information of the divorce correct. If it is, then I would say that Mrs. Letterman is using good judgement in relieving herself of this dirt bag. He has defamed the Palin family right down to the juvenile daughter, and gotten away with it, by issuing a LEFT HANDED apology, and after only a few weeks, gone right back after Palin herself.
dukkiller, we don't agree on much, and much I think we do but, this guy is a piece of crap, and in his world where he makes his living dealing out untrue personal humiliation to folks whom have never done him any offense, don't you think that YOUR the one defending the indefensible.
You mentioned Christianity and brought it into the mix. Are you familiar with the story of Abraham in his rescue of his cousin Job. GOD HIMSELF, commanded Abraham to KILL THEM ALL. The Christian sword cuts in all directions my friend. Letterman is a man (and I use the term very loosely) that gleefully takes no prisoners, yet you think he deserves mercy when he gives none. Ya need to get back in that Bible my friend, before you start pointing YOUR Christian finger. You may have a good legal "education", (far better than mine) but you missed this one sir.
I will however, give you a good start.
Psalms Chapter 101 verse 5. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, HIM I WILL CUT OFF: HIM THAT HATH AN HIGH LOOK AND A PROUD HEART WILL NOT I SUFFER.
Proverbs Chapter 10 verse 18. He that hideth hatred with LYING LIPS, and HE THAT UTTERETH A SLANDER, "IS A FOOL".
And since you have invoked Christianity into the mix, here is last, but certainly not lest one we are all guilty of, but Mr. Letterman so, on a much GRANDER SCALE. NATIONAL TELEVISION. CONTINUALLY!
Proverbs Chapter 3 verse 30. STRIVE NOT WITH A MAN WITH OUT CAUSE, IF HE HAVE DONE THEE NO HARM.
Now dukkiller, in your best legal lawyerly form: present your case where the Palin family, from mother to "child", deserved any of what Letterman dealt out on NATIONAL TV TIME AFTER TIME? As Christians we are to DEFEND other innocents, especially innocent children. God says: You are better to have a mill stone around your neck, at the bottom of the sea, than to harm a child. He went after Palin's kids. I realize you are a lawyer whom defends the guilty. That is our main difference, I think.
By the way duk. When they were preparing to leave for an evangelical journey, CHRIST HIMSELF, told the disciples to BUY SWORDS. Did you know that? So much for turning the other cheek. Folks need to read the the definitions again regarding MEEK & WEAK. They are not the same. Christ was not a punching bag, he was defiant even to Pilot.
Your first post WAS VERY CONDESENDINGLY SARCASTIC TO THESE POSTERS. Is that your version of taking the "HIGH ROAD" by inferring these posters are classless, and ignorant? If so, then I suppose every American that cheered at the defeat of Germany and Japan, were also classless, and ignorant. Celebrating the comeuppance of a scoundrel is hardly classless or ignorant but, instead rather encouraging.
