David Letterman first joked about Sarah Palin and her Daughter on his show and then the next day rendered an apology for his comments about Palin and her Daughter. As a group of people shouted opposite CBS Office that “Letterman should be fired,” Letterman had to take his words back and render an apology to Alaska Governor.
He made headlines last week about his joke on Palin’s 18-year-old daughter Bristol and former New York Gov. Elliott Spitzer and New York Yankee star Alex Rodriguez. He Said that New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez had “knocked up” the former vice-presidential nominee’s daughter during a family trip to a baseball game. Palin thought Letterman was referring to her 14-year-old daughter Willow, not Bristol and a war of words began.
After all the drama this is what Letterman read on the very same platform he used to joke about Palin, yes that’s right on his show. This was his statement:-
“I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception” of the joke by viewers, he said during Monday’s taping of “Late Night with David Letterman. And since it was a joke I told, I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke. It’s not your fault that it was misunderstood, it’s my fault.”
He further also apologized to her daughters. He said,”I would like to apologize especially to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the Governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke. I’m sorry about it and I’ll try to do better in the future.”
Well if I am right then this is the first time David Letterman had to apologize for joking about someone in his long witty career. What do you think????
