The AP Calls Letterman Willow Palin Rape Jokes "Wisecracks"

Now this is even more dismissive then Yahoo calling the rape of a 14 year old girl "off-color." The AP actually referred to Letterman's despicable attack as "wisecracks."

David Letterman deftly played it both ways on Wednesday's "Late Show" as he apologized for wisecracks aimed earlier in the week at Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and one of her teenage daughters -- even as he milked the situation for more laughs.

Yup the funny jokes about the rape of a minor child by A-Rod by a liberal TV personality are simply "wisecracks" to some morally bankrupt person at the AP. Even Lettermans so-called "apology" is a big joke.

Before he was done, he tried to boil down the situation into two key points, which he stated with playful precision:

"Am I guilty of poor taste? Yes.

"Did I suggest that it was OK for her 14-year-old daughter to be having promiscuous sex? No."

He also invited Palin to be a guest on his show, saying, "I think we could put these differences behind us." But the offer, extended to both Palin and her husband ("or leave Todd at home," Letterman suggested), was turned down on Thursday.

Yup some of that playful precision trying to run away from a "joke" about a 14 year old child being raped by a 33 year old member of the Yankees during the 7th inning stretch. I mean it is just "wisecracks" about rape from funnyman Letterman. The AP considers it no harm done. I really hope Todd Palin does come on Letterman walks out to the stage and gives him a right cross. I'm sure any father of a teen daughter in the US would do the same.
