Letterman obviously lied, since the daughter who was at the ball game where Letterman said he hoped Alex Rodriguez would knock up the girl WAS the 14 year old
And this is no an "assault" on Letterman, it is Palin defending her child. When will you "liberals" become competent to discuss ideas, like defending Obama's collapsing economic policies, rather than smearing women and telling rape and racist jokes? 2009/6/12 Tommy News <[email protected]> > > > > > > *Palin Takes on Letterman, Again* > By Kate Phillips<http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/author/kate-phillips/> > > Gov.
