A Belated Recognition of a Belated Apology

While on the road this past week I was lucky enough to be able to see David Letterman's sincere apology to the Palin family for his poor joke aimed at one of the Palin daughters. I am referring to the real apology and not the one he had made a few days earlier that was little more than an arrogant dismissal of well placed disgust.

What Letterman did, belatedly, was admit that he poorly delivered a poor joke that was easily interpreted wrongly. He clarified the joke (which was still poor) but took ownership of it and apologized.

I think his apology deserves a mention.
