Taping tonight's episode of The Late Show, David Letterman took a few minutes to respond to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who called him "pathetic" in a radio interview after he made her and her family the butt of a recent Top 10 list. The late-night host had drawn particular fire from Palin and some pundits for a joke about one of Palin's daughters being impregnated by New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez during a trip to Yankee Stadium. Camp Palin apparently took the joke to be a crack against Palin's 14-year-old daughter Willow, who had recently attended a Yankees game, but Letterman insisted today that the real target was 18-year-old daughter Bristol.
“We were, as we often do, making jokes about people in the news and we made some jokes about Sarah Palin and her daughter [Bristol]... and now they’re upset with me…” Letterman says on tonight's show. "These are not jokes made about her 14-year-old daughter. I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl.... 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." Saying he hopes he's "cleared part of this up," Letterman extended an invitation to Palin to come on the show as a guest.

What makes you think otherwise?
Oh I remember that- Chelsea is what...28?
She was in some gay bar being pawed by the queens and “S&M” (stand and model) crowd, trying to hustle votes for her Ma.
She looked absolutely miserable.
Yep, she WAS being pimped!
With Dick Cheney? ;-)
Exactly...show Letterman claims he can see Bristol in Alaska from his studio.
Leftists lie, and when they are confronted with lies, they switch the subject, they never admit they are wrong..NEVER..even after all the heat from what he said before yesterday about Willow being knocked up by A-Rod, last night he said that Willow was a prostitute for Elliot Spitzer..yeah he never mentioned which daughter, but who the hell cares which daughter.
What is it with leftists and loving rape. This is the second time a so-called comedian has asked for the rape of Sarah or a member of her family. First Sandra Bernhard said that if Sarah ever came to New York she would get her “black buddies” to rape her(Of course, the feminist movement had NO response..what a shock..NOT) and now Dave. Leftists love rape. Ann Coulter was right, liberalism is a mental illness.
I can’t post what I sent to CBS here, I’d be banned for life......
Or more recently, Joe Biden’s daughter was allegedly caught on tape snorting dope. The MSM didn’t touch that with a 10 ft pool, even though she is an employee of the State of Delaware.
Let me on the show - he'd need Jerry Springer's bouncers to keep me from whupping his butt!
Right - he knew Bristol was out of town and he also repeated that idiotic MSM claim that Sarah said she could see Russia from her house ....
Forget going on the Dead Letterman Show.
Instead, just use him as the butt of every tasteless joke from now until eternity.
He’s opened himself up as a tasteless joke target. Fire away.
He's catching hell from his sponsors and the corporate brass. If he really wanted to apologize, he'd get on a plane to Alaska and personally apoligize to Sarah Palin and Willow in private. And then he'd take a 6 week voluntary unpaid leave of absence and donate a million dollars to the special olympics.
Anything short of that is just words.
PERFECT!!!!
The left is deathly afraid of Palin. We really need to get behind and support her. She may be our ticket out of this mess.
Yup. In the imortal words of Tone Loc: “The King Of Late Night, yaaaaaa Dave Letterman: Not too hilarious, jokes kind of plain, but everything is funny when you’re smokin’ Mary Jane”
“He didn’t apologize to Sarah and Bristol wasn’t there. Dave needs a vacation and a new set of writers to clean up the act he and his hacks have ruined.”
Vacation? No he needs a boot out the door.
The Tonight Show has different writers.
Yep, let Sarah accept the invitation, but have Todd walk out and smash him in the face.
Stop digging. You are rationalizing for Letterman and that is not doing our cause any good.
The description, a little worm of a man, comes to mind.
