acroyearthough not to the Palin family, who as we have established remain humor-impaired in spite of the last year of SNL.
The joke reference was simply "daughter getting knocked up by A-Rod" at the Yankees game. The problem: while it is to anybody not paying detailed attention at the family (i.e., 99.99999% of the country that are sick of them) that is an obvious reference to Bristol, it turns out that Willow (where the hell do they get these names?), who is only 14, was the one actually at the game earlier that day.
So a big oops to Letterman's writers for not connecting one and one, and a continued big "fuck you" to the Palin's for looking at a joke in the most literal sense possible, assuming the worst possible interpretation, and refusing to acknowledge who a joke's target really is.
