An apology from David Letterman was good enough for Sarah Palin - but not for protesters who demanded the late night host's dismissal Tuesday at a Broadway demonstration.
"Fire Dave! Fire Dave!" the crowd of about 50 protesters chanted as Letterman fans filtered into the Ed Sullivan Theater for the show's taping.
The demonstration came hours after Palin accepted Letterman's Monday night apology for what he described as "a bad joke ... a joke that was beyond flawed."
The governor released a statement saying she accepted the mea culpa "on behalf of all young women, like my daughters, who hope men who 'joke' about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve."
(Editor's note: did this evangelical media junkie really use the world, "evolve?" So she doesn't believe that Dave was "intelligently designed," after all.)
Letterman sparked the controversy with a crack about Palin's visit to Yankee Stadium last week. The one-time GOP vice-presidential candidate attended the game with her 14-year-old daughter, Willow.
Letterman - who initially said he was referring to 18-year-old Bristol Palin- said the teen "was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez" during the seventh inning.
Bristol Palin became a single mom in December when she delivered son Tripp.
And Sarah Palin became a national laughingstock in late August, when John McCain picked her as his running mate.
