David Letterman Defends Himself
David Letterman has responded to Sarah Palin's accusation that he suggested "sexually exploiting" her 14-year-old daughter.
Letterman explained that he was in fact referring to her very legal daughter, Bristol, and not her younger sister, Willow, when he joked that one of the Palins was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez at a Yankees game, saying, "I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl. I mean, look at my record. It has never happened. I don't think it's funny. I would never think it was funny. I wouldn't put it in a joke."
Letterman added, "Am I guilty of poor taste? Yes. Did I suggest that it was OK for her 14-year-old daughter to be having promiscuous sex? No."
And further proving his "poor taste" he added, "Governor Palin, if you're watching, I would like you to consider coming to New York City - you and Todd as my guests, or leave Todd at home."

I'm sure that dumbass knew he wasn't talking about the younger daughter. What an attention whore.
Re: Smirks –
True dat. Let's start saying nasty shit about the Pinko President's daughters and watch everyone go apeshit. I have to say I think people should leave Michelle Obama and her children out of the insults as they have no control over their husband/father's job. And while I didn't appreciate Michelle Obama's "I've never been proud of America until now" quip; I actually like Michelle Obama far better than her fascist husband. Michelle Obama just seems fierce; like "don't talk to me like that in front of my children, Barry, or I'll tear up the Oval office wit' yo' ass" fierce. I bet she don't take no shit off'n Barry.
how would the dems like it if a late night host called Michele obama a fat big hipped buck tooth ghetto black bitch? or the n word was used to describe obama? it is a funny thing to me the dems all think degrading insults and name calling only go one way toward the republicans. i cant wait for the day when someone has the nerve to call the obamas what they are…..and also if i was a balck first lady i would never let my girls be seen in cornrows like little gehetto kids.
Instead… imagine him talking about Michelle Obama and Malia like that. What would everyone's reaction be then? No doubt it would be total outrage. He should be ashamed of himself.
Re: Kimber21 – Because it was the younger daughter at the game, Kimber. The older one was home in Alaska.
I was a big fan of Letterman until this happened. He has stooped too low this time.
you all must be lacking a brain because if he said that about obama's girls all bets are off! he'd be a racist and would get kicked off the air..this country's insane
god i can't stand that woman and her family…guess she shouldn't of flaunted her fucking kids around during the election….why she thinks she speical is beyond me….team letterman all the way!!!!!!!!!!!! the palin's are a bunch of douches!!! stay in alaska
Re: s_dear – We do not lack a humor chip, we are just too upset about Democrats taking all of our money and giving it to the other free-loading Dems. Try laughing at a joke when Obamas hands are in your pockets…
It was all hilarious the first statements and then his reply, I saw both! The Drama Queen FAIL Palin needs to take her and her horrible parenting skills back to Alaska. Crawl in a hole already crazy lady!!
Re: tigrrrlilly – but it's letterman that threw her back into the media spotlight….so to Perez and all other media: stop reporting about her!!! you're only making her more famous!!!!
