Palin VS. Letterman; Have People Finally Woken Up?

.
The most amazing thing to me about this interchange is that up until now, Letterman has been getting away his with nasty, bitter vitriol toward Palin and other conservatives. He's been able to say pretty much whatever he wanted and no one has called him onto the carpet prior to this.

All the way back in October 2008, it was considered OK by the left to call Governor Palin anything you wanted. Swear at her, mock her, judge her hair, her ideas, her husband and her children. Slander her church, ridicule Alaska, call her supporters white trash. Accuse her husband of incest, tell everyone she is an unfit mother, make sexual innuendos about her and her family, paste photo-shopped porn images all over the internet.

So it must have come as just as much a shock to Letterman as to the rest of us that people actually reacted this time. What brought on the double standard?

Hopefully it has to do with people finally waking up. Obama has been in office for five months now, and in that time he has done a litany of horrible things. I hope that what we are seeing now is a large number of people rethinking all that happened during the 2008 campaign and realizing that they were wrong.
