Letterman Jokes About 14 Year Old Girl Being ‘Knocked Up’
Jun 9th, 2009 | 53 responses
In his monologue last night, David Letterman made a joke about Willow Palin, the 14 year old daughter of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, being ‘knocked up’ during the game.
Of course politics is about making jokes and politicians need to have thick skins. But what happened to families being off limits? Can you imagine if someone made a similar joke about the daughter of a Democratic politician?
I remember when people made jokes about Chelsea Clinton and they were quite properly told to lay off, that kids are off the table when it comes to making jokes. As I see it any jokes or attacks on the Obama daughters are also off limits. It would seem to me the left should feel the same way about Republican politicians and their kids.
I am waiting for the protests over this from the left, but I’m not sure they will come.

To all who have expressed your kind words toward my daughter and your condolences for her misfortune, I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude. We may disagree on politics at times, but I think everyone here shares the concept of the importance of family.
Luckily she is a emotionally strong young woman, and we are a very close-knit and loving family, so we know this will be dealt with successfully. She is already making new plans and goals, and refusing to wallow in any self-pity. We are here to support her in whatever direction she chooses.
AustinRoth, I am saddened to hear about your daughter's misfortune and she will be in my thoughts for the best recovery.
America – learn to take jokes. This is exactly why so many murders are committed in your country every year.
