WASHINGTON - Senator John McCain is taking his former running mate's side in a feud between Gov. Sarah Palin and David Letterman.

The late-night host is taking heat for jokes about Palin's daughter regarding their recent trip to New York.

McCain said one joke in particular went way too far whe Letterman said Sarah Palin's daughter was "knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."

"I hope that remarks like that are out of bounds. She is a 14-year-old girl and to be referred to in that fashion is highly inappropriate," said the Arizona senator.

Letterman's joke was apparently referring to Palin's 18-year-old daughter Bristol.

Problem is, it was the governor's 14-year-old daughter who went with her to New York.

  Eventually, people are not going to tolerate this kind of slander, defimation of character, lack of respect and or harrassment and retaliate against high profile people who choose to talk smack about peoples children. This may be a "FREE" country (which it is not)but talking crap about anyones children is off limits. If I was Todd Palen I would have already had a talk with the big mouth Letterman and his attorney (s).

  that's a joke? To me it sounds a little like sexual harrassment! I guess he thinks that was a cute, political remark. She should get herself a lawyer. These know-it-all celebrities don't belong in the political arena!!
