I'm not sure why David Letterman felt the need to apologize Monday night (again) for his jokes last week about Sarah Palin and her daughters - can you imagine comedians apologizing every time they offend a public figure? - but he said what he felt had to say (or, perhaps, what CBS told him to say), Palin accepted the apology (though in her typical snarky manner), and that's that.

Now can cable TV news, especially Fox, please moved on to more pressing matters?
