erman who on more than one occasion attempts to find humor in vicious attacks and lies on others. No so called joke at the cost of children is ever considered a joke and certainly is not funny on any level. Anyone that attended or watched that episode of the Letterman show should be appalled by his despicable attempt at humor. Actually if you didn’t leave the set or turn of the TV at that point you are as despicable as Letterman. If you were one of the idiots that laughed and found humor in that despicable joke and behavior you too are as pathetic as Letterman. He is perverted in his assessment as to what a joke actually is. Only a perverted egotistical idiot would even try to attempt to find humor in attacking a child in such a vile manner. Even if he mistakenly used the wrong name of the child and meant the older daughter it is still reprehensible that he tried to find humor in such vicious attacks and lies. This man should be fired immediately and no station owner with any integrity would ever hire this evil creature to host another show. This was Letterman’s evil attempt to assert his political view at the expense of a child. Slamming children through an attempt of humor or a so called joke to express his own political preferences and agenda is beyond reprehensible.
NEW YORK — Sarah Palin says she accepts David Letterman’s apology for the joke about her daughter.
The Alaska governor, in a statement issued Tuesday, said the apology was accepted “on behalf of all young women, like my daughters, who hope men who `joke’ about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve.”
On his CBS’ “Late Show” on Monday night, Letterman said his joke about one of Palin’s daughters being “knocked up” by Alex Rodriguez can’t be defended.
He said the joke referred to 18-year-old Bristol Palin, not her 14-year-old sister Willow. But Letterman said it’s his responsibility that people believed that he intended to target Willow, who had attended a New York Yankees game with her mother.
“I’m sorry about it, and I’ll try to do better in the future,” he said.
Letterman last week tried to make light of the joke after the first indications that it fallen flat. Palin had called the comments “sexually perverted,” and her husband, Todd, said that “any jokes about raping my 14-year-old are despicable.”
Palin said Tuesday that Letterman has the right to joke about whatever he wants to, and “thankfully we have the right to express our reaction.”
“This is all thanks to our U.S. military men and women putting their lives on the line for us to secure American’s right to free speech,” she said. “In this case, may that right be used to promote equality and respect.”
