In case you missed it, there was a little more fallout from Sarah Palin's
surprise resignation as Alaska governor.
She feuded last month with late-night talk show host David Letterman after
he joked that one of Palin's daughters had been "knocked up" by Alex
Rodriguez at a New York Yankees game. He apologized, but insisted that he
was talking about 18-year-old Bristol, an unwed mother.
But Palin emphasized that it was 14-year-old Willow who was in the stands
and accused Letterman of making light of statutory rape and of older men
victimizing young women.
So on his show Monday night, Letterman did a bit on Palin's resignation and
asked sheepishly, "Something I said?"
In fact, the Washington Post reported, a Palin representative said the
Letterman joke did play a role in her decision, along with all the other
media scrutiny and brickbats thrown her way.
Letterman didn't let up, joking that Palin (a former Miss Alaska beauty
pageant contestant) would be replaced by Miss Congeniality and playing a
spliced-together clip of Palin saying, "The world needs more insane
governors."
At the end of his bit, he did make a peace offering of sorts, joking that
her next job could be as his co-host on the "Sarah & Dave" show.
You betcha -- not.
