Palin cultists cry to FCC over Letterman joke

After failed vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin built up a nationwide following among the Far Right, her cultists are now showing themselves to be every bit the thin-skinned Nazis that Bush's followers were.

Over 500 members of Team Sarah, a Failin' Palin fan club, have now complained to the FCC about a joke that David Letterman reportedly made about the embattled Alaska guv.

Team Sarah now claims they're "hearing" that the FCC is indeed investigating Letterman's quip. Nice to know the FCC is prioritizing things, isn't it?

It's unclear exactly what joke they're referring to, as Letterman has always had quite a few chuckles at politicians' expense. As this is over-the-air network TV we're talking about, how offensive could the joke possibly have been?

This is on par with when the wingnuts complained to federal regulators about CBS allegedly giving an in-kind contribution to John Kerry's 2004 campaign all because the network reported a negative story about Bush. (Yes, this is the same CBS that at the time was removing perceived criticism of Bush's policies from awards shows.)

Team Sarah remains undeterred. Now It's trotting out pieces from the disreputable Washington Times to bolster its own paranoid ravings about how they're being "infiltrated."
