Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has responded to an off-color joke about her 14 year old daughter Willow made by Late Show host David Letterman Monday night. During his regular monologue, Letterman joked about Palin's daughter getting knocked up by Alex Rodriguez after the Governor's recent visit to Yankee Stadium. MSNBC has Palin's response:
"Concerning Letterman's comments about my young daughter (and I doubt
he'd ever dare make such comments about anyone else's daughter):
'Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old
male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but
it reminds us some Hollywood/NY entertainers have a long way to go in
understanding what the rest of America understands -- that acceptance
of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be
anyone's daughter, contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual
exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.'"
