David Letterman is not off the hook yet! While the late night show host and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin have reconciled over the recent controversy resulting from Letterman's crude jokes about the politician's teenager daughters, the online boycotting coalition
Firedavidletterman.com is aggressively lobbying for more severe disciplinary action against Letterman, according to
Perez.
On Tuesday afternoon Firedavidletterman.com, led by Michael Patrick Leahy, one of the website's organizers, reported receiving over 30,000 pledges to boycott products from companies that advertise on Letterman's show.
"David letterman's comments were disgraceful and beyond the bounds of common decency," Michael Patrick Leahy told
FOXNews.com. "It is highly inappropriate for a 62-year-old man to make sexual insults about a 14-year-old girl."
As supporters of Firedavidletterman.com staged a protest outside the studio where the
Late Show is taped, the comedian, acknowledging the presence of the boycotters during in his nightly countdown delivered the "Top Ten Things Overheard at the 'Fire David Letterman' Rally, " and continued to mock demands to take him off the air.
Letterman apologized Monday for saying in his monologue last week that when Palin and her daughter visited Yankee Stadium that the girl was "knocked up" during the seventh-inning stretch by Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. Letterman said he was referring to Palin's 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, and not to 14-year-old Willow, who had accompanied the Alaska governor to a Yankees game.
"I would like to apologize, especially to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke," Letterman told his studio audience Monday. "I'm sorry about it and I'll try to do better in the future."
Palin told
FOXNews.com early Tuesday that she accepted Letterman's apology, but groups like Leahy's say won't be satisfied until
CBS takes disciplinary action against the late night host.
