NEW YORK - Sarah Palin says she accepts David Letterman's apology for the joke about her daughter.
The Alaska governor, in a statement issued Tuesday, said the apology was accepted "on behalf of all young women, like my daughters, who hope men who `joke' about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve."

He was referring to the 18-year-old, who got pregnant (by a man over 18- isn't THAT statutory rape? If she was 17?).

Now we can sleep easy once again knowing that
we don't have to concern ourselves with bad jokes and thinskined moms at least until someone else decides to ridicule a fool that has stepped into the national spotlight.

Letterman is a delightfully cynical comic who has lampooned both sides of the aisle-

Funny how people ridicule Palin for standing up for her daughter. If the same joke had been made about one of Michelle Obama's daughters how many of you casting stones at Palin would be thinking that Michelle was a loser for demanding an apology?
Yeah. Thought so.

No, no lighten up. Sarah Palin is a mongoose spit-fire that pukes blood that is partially lava over large American cities. And although she has forgiven, this will never be forgiven. To blood-fire hell with Dave and Paul and the audience that laughed at Dave wanting a 14 year-old to be sexually plundered by an adult male who is a whore himself! Palin's gargantuan wings will gently swath in the stratosphere cooling the nerves of demons everywhere who thirst vengeance! Vengeance! The liberal media will pay! And still be to blame!

Oh please, he's been doing this for longer than a lot of you have been alive. He's BBQ'd Reagan, H.W., ALL the Clintons, Dubya and you can be assured when he has that ammo he's going to do Obama as well. Too soon though.
This is the new age though where thin skinned people complain about a joke. Where were the complaints and apologies over the tens of thousands of jokes he's told about all of the above?
Secondly, this crowd here at ATS is so big on 1st Amendment rights but this barks their onion and that goes out the window. Seriously folks you've gotta lighten up. He's a comedian.
