I had a nice little list going, centered on the most outrageous element of all: a form letter for anti-Letterman protestors–egged on, in spirit at the very least, by Sarah Palin and the exeuctive produer of Sarah Palin Radio (“Governor Palin’s own ‘friendly’ media,” according to the site). The sample letter accuses Letterman’s advertisers of “support[ing] the rape of young girls.”

To read what I have to say about the juxtaposition of this uniquely American brand of ludicrious political theater to the actual rape of young girls actually supported by bad business practices in Congo, check out my piece at Mother Jones.
