David Letterman Apologizes For Palin Joke
David Letterman has apologized for the bad joke he made about Sarah Palin’s daughter in a Top 10 List segment of his show: Sarah Palin Wants David Letterman Apology.
“I’ve never made jokes like this as long as we’ve been on the air, 30 long years, and you can’t really be doing jokes like that,” Letterman said, referring to the inappropriate thing some thought that he was saying. “And I understand, of course, why people are upset. I would be upset myself.”
“It doesn’t make any difference what my intent was, it’s the perception,” the late-night veteran told his audience. “And, as they say about jokes, if you have to explain the joke, it’s not a very good joke…I take full blame for that. I told a bad joke. I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception.
“And since it was a joke I told, I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke. It’s not your fault that it was misunderstood, it’s my fault.”
He concluded: “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.”
