Weren't we just here? Sarah Palin and David Letterman had another go-round today, the Daily News reports. Palin laid into Letterman for what she termed a "sexually perverted joke" about her 14-year-old daughter. Letterman, while admitting "poor taste," said on his show tonight that his remark—"during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez"—was meant in reference to 18-year-old mom Bristol.

The Palins are taking offense, however, because the younger Willow was the only daughter to accompany mom on a recent trip to New York. "Any jokes about raping my 14-year-old daughter are despicable," chimed in Todd. Letterman insisted he would "never, never" go there. "Am I guilty of poor taste? Yes. Did I suggest that it was okay for her 14-year-old daughter to be having promiscuous sex? No." He also invited Sarah to come back on as a guest.
