Letterman's "Apology"

It's all a big misunderstanding, apparently. He meant for that crude, sexual joke to be about Palin's other teenage daughter.

Saying he hopes he's "cleared part of this up," Letterman extended an invitation to Palin to come on the show as a guest.

Allow me to translate:

"Sorry 'bout all those horribly degrading comments I directed at you and your daughters. What say you come on my show some time, send my sagging ratings through the damn roof for me, and we'll call it even?"

Yeah, she's gonna jump all over that.
