Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said David Letterman’s explanation of a joke about her daughter is “weak” and accused him of continuing a political double standard that began during the presidential campaign.
“Remember in the campaign, Barack Obama said family’s off limits – you don’t talk about my family – and the candidate that must be obeyed, everybody adhered to that and they did leave his family alone,” Palin said in an interview with Matt Lauer on NBC’s “Today” show. “They haven’t done that on the other side of the ticket and it has continued to this day.”
Letterman made a joke about adult men having sex with a Palin teenage daughter. The joke appeared to be about her 14-year-old daughter, Willow. Letterman later said he said he was referring to Palin’s daughter Bristol, who is 18.
She said she isn’t buying Letterman’s explanation, calling it a “very convenient excuse” and that anyone who does is “extremely naïve.”
“It took him a couple days to think of that excuse,” she said.
I love that Gov. Palin is not taking this lightly, and that she is fighting back. I am praying for her, and I hope this doen't keep her from running for President in 2012.
