I kind of think that Letterman went a little overboard with the rape joke. Hey, I know he would go bananas if she were to say a sex joke about his son.
Michael Savage was thrown off MSNBC for making an AIDS joke, But Letterman should get to stay for making a "Rape a 14 year old joke"...Liberal hypocrisy at its finest.

This is gaining momentum at last!

I just went to their website Letterman made it into the
NOW's Media Hall of Shame!Brilliant IDEA!!!! I love it!
Heres a bit of what they had to say!
NOW Analysis:
After two nights of "jokes" at the expense of Palin and her family, Letterman tried to explain himself and offer something of an apology. On his June 10 show, Letterman said he was referring to Palin's 18-year-old daughter, Bristol -- not the 14-year-old daughter who actually accompanied Palin on her New York trip. Letterman said "I recognize that these are ugly" jokes.NOW agrees. Comedians in search of a laugh should really know better than to snicker about men having sex with teenage girls (or young women) less than half their age.
The sexualization of girls and women in the media is reaching new lows these days -- it is exploitative and has a negative effect on how all women and girls are perceived and how they view themselves.
Letterman also joked about what he called Palin's "slutty flight attendant look" -- yet another example of how the media love to focus on a woman politician's appearance, especially as it relates to her sexual appeal to men.
Someone of Letterman's stature, who appears on what used to be known as "the Tiffany Network" (CBS), should be above wallowing in the juvenile, sexist mud that other comedians and broadcasters seem to prefer
MRC Founder Brent Bozell just returned from a FOX News interview where he strongly denounced late-night talk show host David Letterman’s reprehensible attack against Alaska governor Sarah Palin and her 14 year-old daughter, Willow.

Statutory rape is no joke … yet few in the media have even raised an eyebrow.
Kudos to NOW for doing the right thing. Wow, NOW may soon earns its soul back.
New York State Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, a Republican, is calling on the CEO of CBS to fire David Letterman for crude comments he made about Sarah Palin and her daughter.
In the letter to CBS chief Les Moonves, Kolb said he took Letterman to task for the "shockingly inappropriate" jokes.
I'm not sure what to say other than that your accusation is false. You've made it at least 10 times now. It's bordering on harassment.
And your continued proselytization was as ridiculous the first time as it was the last.
