In case you haven’t noticed there is a lot of Palin vs Letterman talk. Seems like all the news stories I see are on the two of them. So what is going on? Palin was in NYC with her daughter. Letterman made the joke that Palin’s daughter got “knocked up” by New York Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez during their recent trip to New York.

When asked about it, Palin said:

“I would like to see him apologize to young women across the country for contributing to kind of that thread that is throughout our culture that makes it sound like it is OK to talk about young girls in that way, where it’s kind of OK, accepted and funny to talk about statutory rape,” she said. “It’s not cool. It’s not funny.”

See, Palin was traveling with her 14 year old daughter. And Letterman has said his joke was about Palin’s 18-year-old daughter Bristol.

Letterman said on his show Wednesday that he would “never, ever make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl.” He said he was guilty of poor taste.

Yes, indeed he was.
