NEW YORK — Sarah Palin says David Letterman owes an apology to young women across the country for his joke about her daughter. The Alaska governor appeared on NBC's "Today" show Friday, continuing a feud with the CBS "Late Show" funnyman over his joke earlier this week that Palin's daughter got "knocked up" by New York Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez during their recent trip to New York.
Palin also said she doesn't believe she should be automatically considered the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.
Asked by Matt Lauer whether Letterman owed her daughter an apology, the former vice presidential candidate broadened it.
"I would like to see him apologize to young women across the country for contributing to kind of that thread that is throughout our culture that makes it sound like it is OK to talk about young girls in that way, where it's kind of OK, accepted and funny to talk about statutory rape," she said. "It's not cool. It's not funny." - FOX News Story
I have heard about enough of all of this. Letterman was an idiot and made some out of bounds comments. He needs to step down from his pedestal and just say, hey I crossed a line and move on. I know as a parent, that you can say what you want about me, but when you attack my kids then you have crossed a line. That is what Letterman has done. Say what you want about the Adults, but leave the kids out of it.
You can bet that if comments were made about the Obama kids, everyone would be in an uproar, what makes this any different?
