The barbs flying between Sarah Palin and David Letterman over which daughter he’s been making fun of (she says it’s 14-year-old Willow, he says it’s 18-year-old Bristol) moved Daniel Kurtzman, on About.com, to go to the videotape. He found none about Willow and enough about Bristol to make it "perfectly obvious to any rational-minded person” she was the target. Some highlights:
- “John McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, has revealed that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. Palin said, ‘We should never have introduced her to John Edwards.’” — Conan O’Brien
- “Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have broken up. … And apparently it was not that big a surprise. Even the Russians saw it coming.” — David Letterman
- “Experts say … since Sarah Palin became the vice presidential nominee, there’s been an actual spike in the sales of her style of eyeglasses. Gone way up. Yeah. Yeah, with Palin’s glasses, you’ll be able to see everything, except what the hell your teenage daughter’s up to.” — Conan O’Brien
