MARTIN BASHIR: Last Friday, on this broadcast, I made some comments which were deeply offensive and directed at Governor Sarah Palin. I wanted to take this opportunity to say sorry to Mrs. Palin and to also offer an unreserved apology to her friends and family, her supporters, our viewers, and anyone who may have heard what I said.
My words were wholly unacceptable. They were neither accurate, nor fair. They were unworthy of anyone who would claim to have an interest in politics, and they have brought shame upon my friends and colleagues at this network, none of whom were responsible for the things that I said. And at a place where we try every day to elevate political discourse and to focus on issues that matter to all of us.
In the battle of ideas, America leads the world in whole-hearted discussions and disagreements and these arguments can be heard on a daily basis. But what I did on Friday had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with that great tradition and I am deeply sorry.

“They were unworthy of anyone who would claim to have an interest in politics,”
But typical and not unexpected from the human scum of MSNBC.
Well, OK that’s something I guess. Better than the “IF you were offended...” non-apology.
Why do they hate Palin so much?? There are several good looking, smart, conservative women.
Todd should still knock his teeth out!
He was pounded on Twitter.
Huh?

Personally, I will NEVER accept an apology from a liberal….
“Insult queers...lose your show.”
No no, he’s just suspended for 2 weeks. And this is the first slap-on-the-wrist Baldwin’s gotten after several incidents of a. rage and b. using “anti-gay” slurs.
Has anyone here heard the MSM.... i.e. ABCNNBCBSFOX even allude to these horrific sexual harassments and mention the perpetrators?
bump
I notice that Bashir never mentions Sarah Palin and I seriously doubt that is a benign ommission...
...huh...? didn’t he mention Palin by name in his very first sentence...
Yea right - I'm sure he got a lot of high fives and back slaps in the hallway after his show.
“He said how he truly feels, he is just apologizing for saying it publically.”
Bingo
He thought like the whole world thinks; that liberals can say whatever they want to conservatives and its socially acceptable.
...same with blacks to whites
...same with all-other-religions to Christians
...same with women to men
But let a christian white male say something remotely negative about anyone and he will instantly be tarred and feathered.
There were a couple of articles today quoting Baldwin as saying his show is done. We’ll see, I guess.
If I was Gov. Palin, I wouldn’t care what this little turd had to say about me. I’m sure she just laughs at the idiots on PSNBC.
I truly think that this man is unhinged, perhaps manic depressive, as so many liberals are. When he said what he did about defecating, I thought to myself, that the guy had truly lost it, it was bizarre..
This apology had everything in it that most modern public apologies lack.. Compare this to Obama's "apology"...
Hey, AZZHOLE, I know you’re just a MINDLESS LIBTURD, but DO TRY TO CONTROL YOURSELF until you’re fired and have to get a REAL JOB. WH press pimp will be open soon!
