Wayne Brady apparently posted this on his FB page today. Classy, I think.

[chae]

And Sarah was very gracious in her acceptance of his apology on her page.

[lonestar]

Never heard of him.

[napscoordinator]

I actually read it and it seems pretty decent. I was not expecting it to be as sincere. Roasts can be nasty at times and also can get out of hand. The one for Rosanne awhile back was unbelievable nasty towards her by many people. She laughed it off though and was a good sport (for a change).

[vpintheak]

Screwed up, then manned up. Made an actual apology. More than most would do.

[beaversmom]

It sounds pretty sincere to me. I don't particularly care for the brief comment bringing race and his daughter into the apology, but other than that, it's very nice.

Sarah Palin thanked him briefly on her Facebook page.

Thank you, Wayne Brady. Trig truly is a blessing. I swear, to his family anyway, that extra chromosome he's got is a Love Chromosome! Thank you for your gracious comment today.

[Eaker]

I have no idea what is going on but this sounds like a black guy apology.

[MattinNJ]

Everyone makes mistakes. He manned up and Sarah was pure class as always.

[mojo114]

Classy?
I don’t think so.
Blaming someone else who wrote his Jokes that he approved and he delivered it.

I would have preferred bacon jokes for the Muslims. (s)
Seriously when will all this stop.
Just live our lives and stop all this stuff.

Good to read. This was one event that disappointed me more than I ever realized it would. My family and I really like him.

[a fool in paradise]

Time was (1950s, 1960s) the Friar’s Club roasts were an inner circle event, taped for posterity but kept from the public at large.

Now the culture is in the gutter 24/7 so it is considered “prime time tv entertainment”.

The lavender mafia and other special interest groups would not be happy to hear those tapes.

[dps.inspect]

ya ya, heard it all before, you know what its like cause your daughter is black and we all know how poorly blek folk git treated... give me a break, it’s white fold who get crapped on these days and you honky damn well know it. Don’t give me that, poor me I’m black, stuff maing...

[SamuraiScot]

The only thing he doesn’t say is that he shouldn’t have said it. So it’s better than most liberal speech, but I couldn’t call it an apology.

[Bullish]

You know what Wayne, you frikkin’ jerk, I don't care how much you hate the Palins, no laugh is worth insulting innocent, defenseless kids.

So maybe think about showing a tiny bit of class next time before shooting your foolish mouth off. I know, class is such a rarity these days within the comedy scene, but maybe you could try to learn some.

[pops88]

This reminds me of what I’ve said to my children on numerous occasions, “no, you’re sorry you got caught.” Wayne, you got caught, and no doubt now you’re sorry. You should have thought about it before hand.

[Biblebelter]

I could defend it as a performer, but I would rather apologize from the bottom of my heart as a father.

That assetion insults the intelligence of anyone who can read. The remark was indefensible and DESERVES an apology without such a disclaimer.

If one parses the sentence, it sounds like that he is asserting that comedy is an art form and as such comedians may take the dramatic license to be cruel and inhumane even if that cruelty is directed to a real person not a anonymous type or fictional personage.

[Old Sarge]

Let’s call a spade a spade...

Had it been a REPUBLICAN comedian making jokes about Slasher and Masher, the media, Hollywood, the White House, the NAALCP, SPLC, the ACLU, and the Film Actors Guild would have been screaming for a public beheading in accordance with Sharia Law.

But because Brady is one of Holder’s people, he gets a pass? And even gets to throw the race card in his “apology”?

But of course not. Palin is the whipping b!tch of the Left. All’s fair, every day, open season and no bag limit.

Sarah did the only thing she could do, and that’s give a gracious nod. If she had done anything like the Left would do, she’d be scourged again.

[bgill]

Interesting that the Obama kids are off limits but it’s still open season for the Palin kids. No, Wayne, that was very bad form. Thought you were one of the good ones but I see that’s not the case. As if the slap down of little Trig isn’t enough, you did a gig for Barr.

[DustyMoment]

Wayne Brady is truly one of the good guys in Hollywood and I appluad him for owning up to a tasteless, hurtful “joke”. I have no doubt that he got caught up on the moment and didn’t think about the affect this tasteless “joke” would have.

I vote we forgive him and move on. He apologized. If we demand a gallon of blood as well, it makes us no better than Democrats.

[South40]

Brady is occasionally funny. Like when he did the skit with Dave Chappelle.

"Classy" except for this part:

I've had awful things said about my daughter.. Violent and most times racial stabs.

Had to make it about him, had to make it racial.
