First, David Letterman and Sarah Palin have engaged in a war of words over a controversial statement that Letterman made on his Late Night talk show. Letterman said, "One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game, during the seventh inning her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez." Palin and her family responded quickly. Governor Palin said that Letterman was "sexually perverted."
Letterman said that he regretted the comments and that he shouldn't have made them. However, Palin did not back off, and rightfully so. Palin said she didn't want Letterman to apologize to her, she wants him to apologize to young women across America for contributing to low self-esteem of young girls. Todd Palin said, "any 'jokes' about raping my 14-year-old are despicable."
Letterman insists that the joke was about Palin's 18 year old daughter and not about the 14 year old daughter that attended the game with Palin. I find this hard to believe. However, it doesn't matter which daughter it was to me, it was still a disgusting comment. Letterman needs to directly apologize to the Palin family and the rest of America. America needs to rise up against this perverted behavior.
Another major story that is developing is that Iranian President Ahmadinejad has been declared the winner in Iran. This has been met with much controversey, as his challenger called the results "foul" and many people believe that the Iranian President may have fixed the election. Protests in Iran have been breaking out in huge numbers over the conflict. More information on the story will be repoted here on Preserving Conservaitsm as it happens.
