Last week, David Letterman made fun of Sarah Palin and her teen-mother daughter only to find out the girl he was making fun of was 14 year old Willow. Oops. According to AP though, he has apologized and they're a happy family again:
Sarah Palin says she accepts David Letterman's apology for the joke about her daughter.
The Alaska governor, in a statement issued Tuesday, said the apology was accepted "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."
On his CBS' "Late Show" on Monday night, Letterman said his joke about one of Palin's daughters being "knocked up" by Alex Rodriguez can't be defended.
He said the joke referred to 18-year-old Bristol Palin, not her 14-year-old sister Willow. But Letterman said it's his responsibility that people believed that he intended to target Willow, who had attended a New York Yankees game with her mother.
"I'm sorry about it, and I'll try to do better in the future," he said.

Trying to do better in the future is probably a good idea since Conan's about to put him out of business. Okay, maybe not, but he's leagues above Letterman in humor. And I know these things, so you can accept that as fact.
