Palin: Letterman owes women an apology
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 Letterman over his joke that Palin’s daughter got “knocked up” by Alex Rodriguez during their recent trip to New York.
Palin says the late-night funnyman has contributed to a thread throughout culture that says it’s acceptable and funny to talk about statutory rape.
Letterman has said his joke was about Palin’s 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, who is a single mother. But it was her 14-year-old daughter, Willow, who’d been at the baseball game.
Palin said it took Letterman time to think of the “convenient excuse” that he was talking about Bristol instead of Willow.
