Sarah Palin Called her Son Retarded- Video

Levi Johnston, who is the father of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palins‘ grandson, went on “The Early Show” Wednesday to blast the former VP running mate for, among other things, making jokes about her son Trig who has Down’s Syndrome, often referring to him as “retarded.”

Per Huffington Post:

“I was just in shock the first time I heard it,” he said, when host Maggie Rodriguez expressed disbelief.

Nothing like airing your ‘dirty laundry’ to keep us entertained! He goes on to talk about how his baby’s mama Bristol took care of her little brother more than Palin ever did, because she was never home. Johnston also said that Todd and Sarah would often fight in front of their kids. But now Palin is striking back against Johnston, claiming his accusations to be nothing more than lies.

“We have purposefully ignored the mean spirited, malicious and untrue attacks on our family. We, like many, are appalled at the inflammatory statements being made or implied.” Palin also went after CBS and Levi’s intentions to strip for Playgirl: “CBS should be ashamed for continually providing a forum to propagate lies. Consider the source of the most recent attention-getting lies — those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention.”

Johnston suggested that there were much darker secrets out there about Palin, ones he wouldn’t reveal on-camera since he “didn’t want to hurt her.” We also know that Johnston is looking for publicity, as he has recently done an extensive amount of fitness training for his upcoming Playgirl photo shoot. Can we really trust what this guy says? Oh who cares, with a face like that he could tell me that the sky is is neon green with shooting pink stars and I’d believe him. By Palin stating that she is ignoring Levi, it makes no sense. You ignore someone by not giving them the time of day. I’m rubber your glue. Grow up.

David Letterman Apologizes – Video

Late night talk show host David Letterman has issued a public apology to Alaska governor Sarah Palin and her family after a week long feud stemming from a sexual natured joke about one of Palin’s daughters getting “knocked up” during the seventh inning of a Yankees game.

Per People:

“I told a bad joke,” Letterman said during the taping of Monday’s show. “I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception. It’s not your fault that it was misunderstood, it’s my fault,” Letterman said, getting applause from the audience. “So 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. Thank you very much.”

He claims that his intended target was 18 year old Bristol Palin, saying he went as far as to make sure she was of legal age before making the joke, without realizing that it was actually Palins’ 14 year old daughter Willow who had accompanied her mother to the game instead. Palin and her husband Todd responded quickly to the joke, calling the comments “sexually perverted.” However, this morning Palin has accepted Lettermans’ apology.

Jeesh, lighten up people. In his joke he never mentioned the daughter by name so whos fault really is it to have assumed he meant the younger one? It was just a joke – one that he has since apologized for, so just let it go and move on. There are far more important issues to be worried about.
