In other words, Letterman never intended to be cruel, but thats how it was perceived.
He apologized to the Governor and her family.
Fascinatingly, what preceded this was an opening monologue that was virtually all about the Palin brouhaha.
His opening words were a sarcastic, Im David Letterman, good-will ambassador…
I got a call from Mom today.
She told me she was siding with the governor.
Lettermans bedrock decency has prevailed over what he must know is Palins bedrock opportunism in prolonging the controversy.
But if this is the way hes choosing to try and end this messiness, I hope it works.
Now lets see what happens next.
Will Palin accept Lettermans apology?
This is the man to whom Palin gave an interview when first expressing her concerns about the Letterman jokes.
You wouldnt think shed want a guy like that in her corner.
What do you think?
Should this controversy end now?
