Sarah Palin will not go away. And this time, one of my favroite people is responsible for keeping her around.

At the beginning of the week Late Night Show host David Letterman poked fun about Palin’s visit to New York in his opening monologue. Why? Because that it what he is paid to do.

Via Stupid Celebrities:

“Letterman joked on Monday about Palin’s visit to New York saying that, ‘During the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.’”

The joke was obviously poking fun at Palin’s eldest daughter, Bristol, whose underaged knocked-up’ness we were all subjected to during her campaign for the Vice Presidency. (Note to Palin: America still hasn’t forgiven you for subjecting us to Levi Johnson).

However, Palin can’t stand being out of the press for more than three days. She and her snow-mobiling husband Todd, have launched an attack against dear old Dave.

“Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is…disgusting,”

the Alaska governor said in a statement.

Palin’s 14-year-old daughter, Willow, was the only Palin daughter on the New York trip. Todd Palin fumed to the press his disgust.

“Any ‘jokes’ about raping my 14-year-old are despicable.”

Palins please. All that time spend in the darkness in Alaska are getting to you. Last night, Letterman used his show to defend himself:

“We were, as we often do, making jokes about people in the news. These are not jokes made about her 14-year-old daughter. I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl. Am I guilty of poor taste? Yes. Did I suggest that it was okay for her 14-year-old daughter to be having promiscuous sex? No.”

Letterman then invited Palin and her husband as guests on his show. Though Palin’s camp is currently standing firm stating that it doesn’t matter which Palin daughter he was referring to, I give it a little over a week before we see Palin’s winking and playing the flute next to Paul Schaffer.
