David Letterman may be one of the best known late night comedians to fearlessly take on Sarah Palin jokes night after night — and luckily for Dave, right now comedic business is booming in the Palin joke department. The news that Bristol Palin is engaged to Levi Johnston found Dave as pleased s a kid in a candy shop last night — as it did for late night comics on other networks.

"They are practicng abstinence, every night, before they go to bed. Sometimes in the afternoon."
And even The Roots crew chimed in with, "Levi Johnston should have kept his johnson in his levis."
