Apparently it's confusing to some people, so let's see if this helps explain why one of the jokes Letterman made the other night was a joke about raping a 14-year-old girl:

1. The only Palin daughter who went to the Yankees game that Letterman referred to was Willow.
2. In order for Alex Rodriguez to impregnate Willow Palin, as delineated in Letterman's hilarious punch line, A-Rod would have to commit statutory rape.
3. Statutory rape is rape.

I realize I just threw a lot at you there, progressives, so feel free to take as much time as you need to sort through it.

[A long, long time passes]

Now, during Letterman's "part apology, part clarification" that neither apologized for nor clarified anything, he insisted that he wouldn't make a joke about a kid getting knocked up because that would be sick, and he's not sick.

Hey, all you Palin-haters, here's a fun fact you might not know: Barack Obama was conceived out of wedlock when his mom was barely legal!
