The Really: A truce has been called in the culture wars!

David Lettermen made what looked like a very sincere apology for the joke about a daughter of Sarah Palin getting knocked up and now the former vice-presidential nominee and Alaskan maven has weighed in and it looks like “give peace a chance” has won the day. The text follows:

“Of course it’s accepted on behalf of young women, like my daughters, who hope men who ‘joke’ about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve,” the statement read.

“Letterman certainly has the right to ‘joke’ about whatever he wants to, and thankfully we have the right to express our reaction. And this is all thanks to our U.S. military women and men putting their lives on the line for us to secure America’s right to free speech – in this case, may that right be used to promote equality and respect.”
