Sarah Palin

What's next for Sarah Palin following her unexpected resignation from Alaska's top job and serving as a favorite pop-culture target?

Even though the freshman governor gave no details on her future plans other than "looking forward to serving the public outside the governor's chair," she has given us plenty to talk about for the past year.

After a semi-apology last week for a joke about one of Sarah Palin's daughters, David Letterman offered an unequivocal sorry during Monday's Late Show monologue "to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke."

Letterman joked last week that Palin's daughter was "knocked up" by Alex Rodriguez during a Yankees game. Though he didn't specify which daughter, he said he meant 18-year-old Bristol Palin. The family, however, said the joke targeted 14-year-old Willow, who attended the game with her mother.

David Letterman said he regrets telling jokes about Sarah Palin's daughter after the Alaska governor called them "sexually perverted" and her husband, Todd, called them "despicable."

On Wednesday's Late Show, Letterman repeated the jokes in question. He denied that they referred to the Palins' 14-year-old daughter — as the Palins' his-and-hers statements seemed to indicate (see below) — but rather their 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, who, as Letterman pointed out, "was knocked up."

The teenage father of Bristol Palin's baby has at least two messages for America: His family is not "white trash," and there's nothing weird about his sister tattooing his name on her wrist. read more 37 Comments
