Gov.
Sarah Palin or David Letterman?
During
a recent monolog on 'The Late Show', David Letterman quipped,
regarding the trip by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and her
daughter Willow to New York and their attendance at a Yankee's
game in Yankee Stadium, that there was "one awkward moment
for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game. During the seventh
inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex
Rodriguez".
Governor
Palin was quick to respond in defense of her family, saying his
joke was about she and Todd's 14 year old daughter Willow and
was pathetic, disgusting and "sexually
perverted".
Letterman
did his best to explain that he was making the comment about
Bristol Palin, the Palin's 18 year old daughter who is a single
mother. Letterman insisted that he would never make a joke
about a 14 year old being statutorily raped but Governor Palin
remarked, during an interview with Matt Lauer on NBC,
"Matt...you and anybody else are extremely naive to believe
that very convenient excuse of David Letterman's the other
day".
Letterman
has since apologized but insists he was in fact talking about
Bristol and not Willow Palin, saying “I
told a bad joke. I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my
intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception. And
since it was a joke I told, I feel that I need to do the right
thing here and apologize for having told that
joke.”
Who
do you believe? He says, she says...
