We’ve been following this saga from the beginning. Real quick: David Letterman made a joke about Sarah Palin and her 14 year old daughter (Dave meant it to be about her 18 yr. old daughter) being “knocked up.” That joke did NOT stomach well with some people, so those people have been offended. Palin is outraged, and she told the “Today” show that ‘Dave owes women around America an apology’. Now people are trying to get Letterman fired! It’s all blown out of proportion! Watch Dave’s apology video and you will learn the entire week-long back story, and hear his apology from last night.
Whoa. This joke that David Letterman said about Sarah Palin has really gotten ridiculous! The joke Letterman made about Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and her daughter was this: “Sarah Palin’s daughter got “knocked up” by New York Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez during their recent trip to New York.” Read the whole story here.
An enraged Sarah Palin, then told the “Today” show that she thinks Letterman owes ‘Women across America’ an apology.
Because David is SUPER COOL, he has now decided to apologize to Sarah Palin on the “Late Show” airing tonight Monday. He didn’t have to, but he did for people that can’t take a joke! David is reported (by our writer Brandon) to have said this:
[Sorry] “to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke.” Letterman will also say that he confused the two Palin daughters and should have stuck with making fun of Rudy Guiliani instead.
NOW! PROTEST TO FIRE DAVID LETTERMAN TUESDAY! OMG! THERE IS A WEBSITE DEDICATED TO THIS P.O.A.! SICK!
Do not! I repeat do not, mess with our boy. This is absurd. You people protesting Dave can shove it…
David Letterman made a joke earlier this week that ‘Sarah Palin’s daughter got “knocked up” by New York Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez during their recent trip to New York.’
Sarah Palin, the Alaska governor, appeared on NBC’s “Today” show Friday, continuing a feud with David. She told the “Today” show that ‘David Letterman owes an apology to young women across the country for his joke about her daughter.’
Sarah told host Matt Lauer, “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.”
Palin said that it was ‘time for people to rise up against Letterman’s form of humor.’ She thinks that these kind of jokes give girls ‘low self esteem.’
Sarah said, “No wonder young girls especially have such low self-esteem in America when we think it’s funny for a so-called comedian to get away with such a remark as he did,” she said. “I don’t think that’s acceptable.”
