WASHINGTON — XM Satellite Radio shock jocks Opie and Anthony apologized Friday for airing a homeless man's crude comments that he'd like to have sex with Condoleezza Rice, Laura Bush and Queen Elizabeth.
The remarks were made on their show Wednesday by a guest the duo call Homeless Charlie. As the name of each woman came up, the guest said he would like to have sex with her -- using language not fit for print.
Opie and Anthony laughed as they imagined Rice's "horror" while describing a violent sexual encounter in which Rice is punched in the face.
Washington-based XM condemned the remarks.
"We deplore the comments made on Wednesday's 'Opie & Anthony Show,"' XM spokesman Nathaniel Brown told The Associated Press on Friday. He would not say whether XM planned to take disciplinary action.
Opie and Anthony, whose full names are Anthony Cumia and Greg "Opie" Hughes, apologized to listeners on Friday's show.

Oh please. Apologies mean nothing when you are vile as them. I seem to remember these two apologizing for the St. Patrick’s Sex Game also. Start acting like grown men and then maybe people will take you seriously.
You mean to tell be XM isn't immune to criticism. I thought they could do and say anything they wanted. /s
I’ll bet a C-note they get a pass from the MSM.
Calling some basketball players "nappy-headed hos"? Weeks of outrage and national news coverage.
There was no apology. It was one of those “sorry if anyone was offended” deals, not “we were wrong for behaving as we did”.
Well, they did apologise.....doesn’t that make it all better? What a pair of swine.
Where is Al Sharptongue? One would think he’d be a little ticked off at two white boys cracking jokes on air about raping an African-American woman.
Well that makes it all better. </sarcasm>
If Rice were a leftist serving in a Democrat admin. Sharpton would be calling for their heads as we write, there’s no doubt.
Actually Condi couldn’t be bothered to expend a second of her time doing anything to these worthless scumbags. Unlike them, she has important work to do.
Take a gander at the Boortz column on this from this morning. Interesting take...

Typical childish ranting from the lefties on satellite radio. And this is the stuff that won’t be included in regulation by the ‘Unfairness Doctrine’. As long as the lefties get to say what they want but our side is muzzled, that’s ok by them. Disgusting!
are turds in the punchbowl of life.
“If Rice were a leftist serving in a Democrat admin. Shartpton would be calling for their heads...”
Yup, and folks here would be posting insulting pictures of her, saying that Opie and Anthony were just having fun and bemoaning the PC world we live in.
Even if it is Condi
Very Clintonesque ...
