PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- CBS Sports golf analyst David Feherty apologized Sunday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for a morbid joke that went bad in a Dallas magazine.
"This passage was a metaphor meant to describe how American troops felt about our 43rd president," Feherty said in a statement. "In retrospect, it was inappropriate and unacceptable, and has clearly insulted Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid, and for that, I apologize. As for our troops, they know I will continue to do as much as I can for them both at home and abroad."

When Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi apologize the GWB I will be up with this.
Of course there is a “the” that should read “to”.
See, at the Obama Festivities, that comedienne can make jokes about Rush getting liver cancer or whatever it was, and Obama et al. can LAUGH and just think it is so uproariously funny. But dare to insult Pelosi, even to tell a bit of the truth ... How DARE he?
Oh the double-standards abound.
Count me in, as well.
That was Funny.....Leno and company have said WORSE.
Harry Reid and friends HAVE to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for
“The War is LOST”
I’m waiting for an Apology, and so is Every “Winner” returning from IRAQ.
wow. it didn’t take them long to find the skeletons in his closet.
Not as sorry as I suspect he will be.
"Despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death."
Sounds like he was telling the truth to me. That's why lefty hates it so much - he must be destroyed.
What’s to apologize for?
Resource limitations often require out of the box solutions.
Hell, he wrote about those things his own self.
Feherty said what many more people are thinking and with dang good reason. These hateful traitors deserve worse.
So Mr Feherty apologizes for making a “morbid” joke about Pelosi and Reid, who in turn dream of more dead American coffins from Iraq while Wanda Sykes at the president’s ball calls for Rush Limbaugh’s death?
Ok gotcha...
I still do not hear any apologies to President Bush, Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin. I wonder when we can expect to hear them?
Thought everyone should what all the wailing is about. It's al;most too true to be funny!
Regards,

“From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this though,” Feherty wrote toward the end of his column.
“Despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death.”
I don’t get it. What’s he apologizing for? (sarc.off)
Hey Feherty, don’t be a candy-@$$. You meant every word of it. And, we will keep watching you analyze golf.
you actually watch golf?
Do not forget for a second that Feherty and Wanda Sykes have the exact same employer - Viacom.
Feherty works for CBS Sports, a subsidiary of Viacom, and Wanda Sykes is the co-star of the CBS television show, The New Adventures of Old Christine, which is also owned and broadcast on CBS, a Viacom subsidiary.
Other properties in the Viacom stable: Comedy Central (home to Jon Stewart and Colbert), CBS Late Night (home to Letterman), and MTV Productions (the primary sponsor of DNC in-kind contribution, "Rock-the-Vote"). And lest we forget, Viacom also owns CBS News, which produces CBS Evening News with Katie Couric as well as the Morning Show and 60 Minutes.
