Hey, Austin-ites. Here's a jeweler to avoid. Russel Korman.
http://www.austin360.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/tvblog/entries/2009/06/12/jeweler_korman_files_complaint_over_letterman_joke.html

"Austinite Russell Korman, owner of Russell Korman’s Fine Jewelry & Watches, decided to file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission.

“I really think it was intent to hurt a public figure by going through their children,” said Korman, who saw the jokes on Tuesday when they were rerun on cable news shows. “We didn’t do that, much, to the Bush kids and we didn’t do it much to Chelsea Clinton or Amy Carter, and we certainly shouldn’t do it to Sasha and Malia Obama. And we shouldn’t do it to a governor or senator or, really, anyone’s underage kids.” "

2. They didn't do it to Amy Carter or Chelsea Clinton
What rock was he hiding under? Maybe he just wasn't paying attention. He just suddenly found his moral compass about children? Chelsea was 13 or so when the right wing nut bags were calling her a dog.

Honestly what a poser. Letterman was not talking about the 14 year old girl. His joke was about 18/19 year old Bristol. And Sarah Palin is just playing the whole thing up for sympathy. If she can't take the criticism now, how was she planning to handle being on the national scene if they had won.

Like they say - if you can't stand the heat stay out of the White House (kitchen).

3. No, Russell, Rush Limbaugh never called Chelsea Clinton the family dog.
No, that never happened.

Asshole. I'm sorry I ever spent a dime in that place. I should have taken my watch elsewhere to be cleaned.

Also, Krueger's downtown by the Capitol has a picture of W and Laura prominently displayed, so they are out, too. (At least they did a few years ago.)
