DAVID LETTERMAN - LETTERMAN NOT ABOUT TO TAKE ON PALIN AGAIN

LETTERMAN NOT ABOUT TO TAKE ON PALIN AGAIN

David Letterman on Thursday indicated that he is not ready to get into another tussle with Sarah Palin. In June he was forced to apologize for an admittedly crude joke he made during a Late Night monologue about Palin's daughter Bristol. On Thursday, he referred to a Vanity Fair article that extensively quoted Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol's baby. The article, Letterman noted, claimed that Palin proposed that the pregnancy be kept secret and that she adopt the baby after it was born. Letterman waited for the audience reaction, then remarked, "Oh yeah, like I'm gonna make a joke about this. None of my business. Whatever you want. 'Live and let live,' that's my motto." The audience broke into applause.
