| − | True to his liberal nature, Letterman has repeatedly mocked Alaska's conservative Republican, former governor, [[Sarah Palin]], since she came into the public eye as a 2008 vice-presidential candidate. In June 2009, while Palin was attending a benefit for those with [[autism]] in Westchester, [[New York]], Letterman escalated these attacks in a particularly degrading fashion, describing Palin as looking like a "slutty flight attendant" and falsely claiming that her 14-year-old daughter, Willow, was [[pregnancy|"knocked up"]] by New York Yankee [[Alex Rodriguez]] on the field at a Yankees game.<ref>http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1832149/letterman_palin_has_slutty_flight_attendant.html?cPager=2</ref> Although Letterman has since claimed that he meant to insult and demean Willow Palin's 18-year-old sister, Bristol, observers have pointed out that Bristol wasn't at the baseball game in question, giving lie to this claim. Letterman has since given some sort of apology for the incident with Palin's daughter that Palin has accepted. CBS has since kept its production contract with Letterman, giving him a continued venue for his liberal rants against Republicans and conservatives. | + | True to his liberal nature, Letterman has repeatedly mocked Alaska's conservative Republican former governor [[Sarah Palin]], since she came into the public eye as a 2008 vice-presidential candidate.

| − | At least Palin has only been married once, for 21 years, and is still married. And, she'd never lived with a second husband for 23 years before she married him, nor did she lose a first marriage because of personal infidelity.
