Foxworthy on Letterman: ‘It was a flawed joke’

The best-selling comedy recording artist in history paid a visit to CNN’s “Larry King Live” to talk about Letterman’s gaffe.

“As a father of two teenage daughters, it was a flawed joke,” Foxworthy said.

Letterman joked last Tuesday that Palin’s “daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez” at a recent Yankees game, stirring up an angry reaction from the Palin family. Letterman has since apologized twice for what he called “inappropriate” humor.

And Foxworthy agreed: “I don’t think any kind of joke about someone having sex with a teenage girl is funny.”

But Foxworthy’s rebuke of the joke was gentle in tone, and he showed empathy for Letterman as well as the Palin family.
