Yesterday on Today, Sarah Palin told celebriologist Matt Lauer that David Letterman's sexual joke about her daughter this week was so beyond the pale, "I would like to see him to apologize to young women across the country."

D.L. on Tuesday said Gov. Palin's weekend visit to Yankee Stadium - she was with her 14-year-old daughter, Willow - was awkward because, "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez." Gov. Palin said D.L. was endorsing the idea that it was "OK to talk about . . . statutory rape." She said she didn't buy D.L.'s contention that he was referring to her 18-year-old girl, Bristol Palin.

What's more, D.L. has been placed in the National Organization for Women's "Media Hall of Shame."
