Sarah Palin was not so much offended about Dave's joke, as she saw it as a political opportunity to re-ignite and inflame her ignorant supporters by her and her husband suggesting quite clearly that David Letterman is a pervert whom can't be trusted around 14 year old girls, and that he somehow supports child rape of minors.
Quote:
The governor's spokeswoman, Meg Stapleton, sent these two statements, the first from Todd: "Any 'jokes' about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too."
The next was from the governor: "Concerning Letterman's comments about my young daughter, and I doubt he'd ever dare make such comments about anyone else's daughter, 'Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/NY entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands -- that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone's daughter, contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.'"

Let's be reminded about who Letterman's jokes, distasteful as they might be to some, were actually about...
The Underage Drinker Daughter:
The Drug Using Daughter:
The Preggo Unmarried Teen Daughter:
Palin has nothing intelligent to say about real issues, so she keeps fabricating issues that portray herself and her family as victims whenever she can, even though she is one of the most venom-filled, hateful politicians ever.
There really is no difference between this hockey mom (who has no kids that play hockey), and a pig with lipstick:
