The president of a national women's public policy group on Thursday blasted David Letterman's "offensive" jokes about Sarah Palin and her daughter and called on the CBS late-night host to formally apologize.
"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," Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America, told FOXNews.com.
"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."
Letterman has been under fire since he made several jokes about the Alaska governor and her daughter on his show Tuesday night, following a visit they made to New York City. In one joke, he characterized the former vice presidential candidate's style as that of a "slutty flight attendant." And in another, he joked that Palin's daughter had been "knocked up" by Yankees star Alex Rodriguez during the seventh-inning stretch of a Yankees game.
Critics jumped on Letterman soon after the show aired, accusing the comedian of making crass jokes about child rape because the girl who accompanied Palin to New York was her 14-year-old daughter, Willow, and not 18-year-old Bristol, who is the unmarried mother of Palin's first grandchild.

Ask them to cease any cooperation with CBS!
Very good point. Any man that insist his theater be kept at precisely 58 degrees is a man that controls every burp, giggle and split toothed grin that gets on camera.
Needless to say, it’s a conservative women’s group. where are the leftys?
Only a pervert would think to make those comments.
Only preverts would justify them.
good. about time.
that broken clock that is wright twice a day;
it still takes many hours for that fleetingmoment of
alignment and truth.
I just sent them a donation last week to help in the pro life movement.
This is Phyllis Schafly’s group. I’m still waiting for NOW to say anything.
Yes, this is a patriotic, conservative women’s group. The feminists hate Palin and all of her family.
“I’m still waiting for NOW to say anything.”
Please don’t hold your breath while you are waiting.
NOW is even more vile and worthless than Letterman.
No, CWA was established by Beverly LaHaye.

Nope. Anita’s (and you’ve no idea how much it pains me to type this) teaching law at Brandeis. That whirring sound you hear is old Louis at 12,000 revs.
Well - good for her. Hope she’s not teaching them to rely on “their experiences” instead of the law when making decisions in their field.
