Letterman, in his monologue Tuesday night, noted that the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate attended a Yankees game during a trip to New York City, where she was honored by a special needs group. Letterman referred to Palin, Alaska's governor, as having the style of a "slutty flight attendant."
The "Late Show" host also took a shot Palin's daughter, while poking fun at the Yankees' third baseman.
"One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game," Letterman said, "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez." But an even more disturbing fact, which Letterman may not have known, was that the daughter who accompanied Palin on her trip to New York was 14-year-old Willow — not 18-year-old Bristol, the unwed mother of Palin's first grandchild.
Now, many critics — including the Palins themselves – are slamming Letterman for jokes that they say make light of sexual abuse of an underage girl.
I think that Letterman needs to grow up a bit. There are certain things that are off limits no matter what your celebrity status and he had no right to go after Sarah Palin's children. Not to mention Sarah was in NY on a very positive initiative. She was working for children with special needs and the autism walk in Purchase, NY.
I applaud you Sarah for your hard work in bringing attention to children with special needs!
