Apology Not Enough for Anti-Letterman Protesters



NEW YORK (AP)  -- Even though Sarah Palin says she accepts David Letterman's apology, the controversy over his joke about her daughter isn't over.

A group that organized a protest outside his studio Tuesday, calling for him to be fired, said it is going ahead with those plans despite Letterman's apology Monday night.

Letterman said his joke about one of Palin's daughters being ``knocked up'' by New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez can't be defended. He said he would ``try to do better in the future.''

But an organizer of the protest said a ``belated'' apology isn't enough, and compared the situation to the firing of Don Imus for his comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team.
