This morning, The Daily Caller posted a story about an email message radio publicist Sarah Spitz reportedly sent to Journolist, a now-defunct listserv.
"If you were in the presence of a man having a heart attack, how would you respond?" The Daily Caller article began. "As he clutched his chest in desperation and pain, would you call 911? Would you try to save him from dying? Of course you would."

I made poorly considered remarks about Rush Limbaugh to what I believed was a private email discussion group from my personal email account. As a publicist, I realize more than anyone that is no excuse for irresponsible behavior. I apologize to anyone I may have offended and I regret these comments greatly; they do not reflect the values by which I conduct my life.

So, she ‘sort of’ apologizes for her comments. On a private email forum.
But we’re all supposed to believe this ‘apology’ really reflect her values? Or how she conducts her life? Pleeeeeze.
Paging Rush: she really, really meant to apologize to you specifically, but didn’t realize how.
What is the number? 1-800-282-2882 during his live program. Or she can also send an email at elrushbo@eibnet.com at any time.
She may not have meant the apology but am I seeing a trend here, those on the otherside are beginning to realize they no longer have a free ride?
As a previous poster noted, with today’s technology, there are no more gatekeepers. The left can no longer make baseless claims and not expect a blowback (trying to define the tea party movement as racist).
Nor can they spew their hate within the confines of the “old boys network” and not expect it to leak out.
The double standard is coming to an end. You do not like racism, then don’t practice it yourself. If you do not like hate speech, then don’t speak with hate.
Advise to the those on the left, you want to hold the right up to high standards be on notice, you will now be held by the same standards. You no longer get a pass because of your age, sex, race or sexual orientation.
I guess that's what passes for smart, ongoing conversation and insight on the left.
Your translator works perfectly, well done.
Once the decision has been made that death should come to those unlike us, the next step is just building the ovens.
Old NPR, National Propaganda Radio, now stands for No Pulmonary Rescusitation
“I made poorly considered remarks about Rush Limbaugh to what I believed was a private email discussion group from my personal email account...”
Translation:
“I’m actually not sorry about my comments. If Rush Limbaugh were to have a heart attack in front of me now, I’d still feel the same way. I am sorry that I was not more careful about to whom I was speaking to and to what I was speaking”.
It most certainly does, just because you thought it was a private dialogue doesn't change the way you really feel just because you got called on it. SHEESH!
Non apology.
Of course NOW she REGRETS it!! GETTING CAUGHT, that is!!!
(Recall the SNL skit with a Bill Clinton impersonator on Weekend Update reviewing the movie The American President? Clinton's character repeatedly said his favorite part was "The Dead Wife!")
Cheers!
“I regret these comments greatly; they do not reflect the values by which I conduct my life.”
I’m calling BS on that statement. She regrets GETTING CAUGHT.
That is an apology?
“I thought my emails were private”
Bullcrap. You were caught, and now you issue this statement. Your demonstrated hate for conservatives comports PERFECTLY with the "values by which [you] conduct [your] life".
Show us you REALLY are penitent by investigating the NAACP and/or Black Panthers.
Won't happen.
Of course, she’s keeping her job. I wonder if she would have kept her job had she said something similar about Jesse Jackson?
She’s sorry she got caught. That’s the real context.
LOL... the lamest type of 'apology' possible. In other words, "I feel sorry for anybody that's stupid enough to disagree with my comments."
