“For over 60 years, AFA-CWA has fought for equality and has made significant advancements in women’s and worker’s rights. After working to end age, weight, marital status, gender, race or pregnancy discrimination against flight attendants, AFA-CWA has redefined the flight attendant profession from “sky girl” to crucial safety professionals. Flight attendants across the world have fought for the respect and dignity we hold dear today. We will not go backwards! We will stand firm in our right for dignity and respect,” added Crowley.

The bad situation is that Letterman is not a single particulary atrocious example, but types like him abound within the male liberal left.

Governor Palin, WE HAVE YOUR BACK!!!

UPDATE by RAM: The following statements were issued by Gov. Palin and Alaska’s First Gentleman about Letterman’s treatment of their 14-year-old daughter:

“Any ‘jokes’ about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too.”

- Todd Palin

“Concerning Letterman’s comments about my young daughter (and I doubt he’d ever dare make such comments about anyone else’s daughter): ‘Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/NY entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands – that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone’s daughter, contribute to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.’”

- Governor Sarah Palin
