The joke was about Palin's daughter getting knocked up at a Yankees
game during their recent trip to NY. Thing is, it was 14 year old
Willow who attended that game, not Bristol. So it's not at all
unreasonable to assume that the joke was about Willow getting
knocked up. As much as I dislike Palin's politics, I perfectly
understand her rejecting Letterman's "apology" as bullshit.
Alex, your theory is absurd, and nobody else
feels this way except a few loonies. Take a look
at the picture of Bristol and Willow in the website
following, and see if they don't look alike.

And from that same article:
Margaret Carlson of Bloomberg News put it best when talking to Keith
Olbermann last night on "Countdown."
"David Letterman did not drag the 14-year-old daughter into this.
The Palins dragged the 14-year-old daughter into it. And it was
absolutely egregious. And they obviously hunger for this kind of
melodrama."
Just about anybody -- literally -- understood that when Letterman
made the jokes about Alex Rodriguez and Eliot Spitzer, he was
talking about Bristol, not Willow. If by some chance you believe
Willow was the target, the jokes don't make sense, and Rodriguez and
Spitzer would have excellent libel suits ready and willing to file
against the late-night comedian.
The Palins are shameless about using their
kids as political props, and this is just one
more fine example.
