Sarah Palin Finally Makes Nice With David Letterman
This fight all started last Monday when David Letterman made some risque remark about Sarah Palin's 18 year old daughter, Bristol, and Alex Rodriguez saying,“During the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.” He than added,“The governor visited Yankee Stadium, sitting in “far, far right field” with Rudy Giuliani.Palin and her husband were furious because they thought that the comment was about their 14 year old daughter, Willow, and thus outraged with discuss.
Then on Wednesdays show Dave tried to clear that up and said that the comment was about Bristol and that he was sorry, but she shouldn't be so mad because like all late night talk show hosts, they make fun of people in the media. So, if Palin didn't want her family to be picked at she shouldn't have brought them in the spot light with her.
Palin didn't accept his sort of apology and lashed out Friday on The Today Show, claiming that Dave needed to apologize to "young women across the country" for making the lewd joke.
On last nights show, David Letterman apologized again by saying to Palin, "It's not your fault that it was misunderstood, it's my fault. So I would like to apologize, especially 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. I'm sorry about it and I'll try to do better in the future. Thank you very much."
Today apparently, Palin has cooled down and now accepts Dave's apology saying, "Of course, it's accepted on behalf of young women, like my daughters, who hope men who 'joke' about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve.”
She continued, "Letterman certainly has the right to 'joke' about whatever he wants to, and thankfully we have the right to express our reaction. And this is all thanks to our U.S. Military women and men putting their lives on the line for us to secure America's Right to Free Speech - in this case, may that right be used to promote equality and respect."
