David Letterman Issues Apology to Sarah Palin

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, CBS, News,

The Sarah Palin/David Letterman controversy has just entered its next and, hopefully, final phase.

On tonight’s Late Show with David Letterman, the host does what many had felt he should have done last week—apologize sincerely to the Alaskan governor. The move comes after increased criticism about his questionable jokes and a scathing response from Palin herself. (The network also lost an advertiser from its website.)

Although a video clip will most likely be made available later, you can read CBS’ transcript of Letterman’s remarks after the jump.

In addition to comparing Palin’s look to a “slutty fight attendant” (you can see his Top 10 after the jump), he also made references to one of Sarah’s children. Which daughter he was commenting about is part of the issue at hand.
