Palin: Dave Owes All Women an Apology

Dave still joking, Sarah still furious

(Newser) – David Letterman joked on his show last night that Sarah Palin made nice by inviting him hunting, but their feud showed no sign of letting up this morning when Palin called on him to apologize to young women nationwide on the Today show, the AP reports. Letterman’s joke that Palin’s daughter got “knocked up” by A-Rod amounts to joking about statutory rape, and his explanation—he was referring to Bristol, not Willow—was just a “convenient excuse,” Palin said.

The family also turned down Dave’s invitation to appear on his show: “The Palins have no intention of providing a ratings boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show,” a spokesperson said yesterday. “Plus, it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman.”

Sarah Palin is a media whore. She paraded her frickin' kids on the political stage during the campaign and put her unmarried, pregnant teenage daughter out there to be gawked at and commented on. So now what the hell is her problem when someone makes a comment? Dave has always been a smart-ass and makes fun of everything with a tongue in cheek sort of humor, so she needs to get over herself. That mama bear act ain't working! She won't go on Letterman because she couldn't handle his quick wit and snarky comments. She wouldn't be a very good guest anyway because she doesn't have a high enough IQ to give Dave any sort of snappy reparte. Palin dragged baby Trig, the one with Down's syndrome, all over the stage during the campaign, as if he were some rag doll. I have no respect at all for that woman.

Linda, you are defending a defenseless position. Reader, simply states that all women do not allow minor children to be sexually active in their home. No one is hiding the fact that the minor in question was pregnant when the sleepovers occurred. That fact is irrelevant. It is possible to admire a person without condoning their every action. I supported Clinton, but when he broached my ideal of Presidential behavior, I called all my non-Clinton friends and admitted that I had been wrong in my judgment. Believe me, I make those calls often, but it is the only way I can find to participate in the system while keeping an open mind.
