"Letterman's slur was simply another reminder of the coarsening of societal discourse and conduct,"

Both spot-on and succinctly stated issodhos...!

Your thoughts on this issue as expressed above represents the "core rot" that our society is experiencing at all levels.

Nothing is too outrageous nor seemingly is anyone outraged enough to say enough is enough!

Even if Willow was 18 or older, still living in the Palin household or on her own; does she deserve such attacks on behalf of the likes of Letterman & company who simply pander for ratings and high dollar, evidently indiscriminate sponsorship!

We're surely failing as a nation, and it's episodes such as this that exposes us for what we've become; ie., "The Empire of the Rising Scum"...! : |
