Well it’s nice to hear women’s group are finally speaking up. According FOX News — WENDY WRIGHT, whose group, CONCERNED WOMEN FOR AMERICA, advocates biblical values and family traditions, called on Letterman to issue a “real” apology, saying his comments were “worse than” merely poor taste. [Follow link below for NOW's statement.]
WENDY WRIGHT:
There’s a saying that out of the heart, the mouth speaks, and Letterman’s statement reveals a pretty ugly reflection of who Letterman may be.
When he said those things, they were thought through. He probably kicked them around with his writers who thought it was appropriate to say these reprehensible things.
The apology was inadequate and it was only about one of the statements. Letterman’s very poor view of women and minor girls is very disturbing, and he certainly needs to do more to change his own attitudes and then prove that his attitude has changed.
He needs to reach out to Sarah Palin. Apparently he feels threatened by the fact that she’s a beautiful conservative woman. He would’ve never said anything like that if Sarah Palin was a liberal. He needs to treat Sarah Palin with the respect and dignity she deserves.
DEBORAH DONOVAN RICE, executive director of STOP IT NOW, an organization aiming to prevent the sexual abuse of children, also denounced Letterman’s jokes and praised Palin’s response as “spot on.”
This wasn’t the usual fun, creative stuff I usually see on Letterman. This really dropped below the bar.

Dear cousinavi.
I am sorry you can’t read. My outrage is not misplaced – though some of it has now been displaced on to your puerile idiocy.
David Letterman talked about sex acts in regards to a 14 y/o girl and a 34 y/o baseball player. Specifically, he said “:knocked up”, which refers to getting pregnant, which means unprotected intercourse.
Intercourse with a 14 y/o girl in New York is STATUTORY RAPE punishable by up to 7 years in prison.
So why not learn the facts cousinavi before you write such ridiculous comments. And if you could read, you would have seen this site is not affiliated with any candidate, political party or organization, so what you wrote about the GOP is meaningless.
Your ignorance will remain for all to read minus your pathetic link. And don’t forget to add yourself to that “very long list of people who cannot win an argument on the facts” – in order to win, one must have command of them.
Rape is not something to make a joke about – nor is any type of sexual suggestion involving a teenage girl and an adult baseball player and/or governor who frequented prostitutes.
Go find a teenage site that thinks this is a joking matter. We don’t.
