And I don’t figure out why the past is irrelevent?
In a court of law, union negotiations, military tribunals, grand juries, practically every judging or governing body I can think of….this is the first thing they look at to support their side of each issue!

"...There’s also the matter of the left trying to deflect Letterman’s issue with old Chelsea Clinton jokes. Again, no sale, as this only serves to enhance the false notion that David Letterman is somehow representative of liberal political thought."

Significant too that those defending Letterman have to go back 17 years to find a similar example of a conservative making a crass joke about a liberal politician's child. Kudos to Jamie, that most have been quite a research project looking trough the Bush-Gore and Bush-Kerry campaigns news record and not finding anything as offensive.
