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.

Yeah, yeah, he’s a performance artist, he got carried away. At heart he holds dear the same values as the rest of us. /S
At least there are no weasel words and qualifiers.
Real classy, Marty.
Why is he still on the air?
He said how he truly feels, he is just apologizing for saying it publically.
Must have heard from either Momma Grizz, or Todd!

Yeah but if a normal person breaks a PC rule, he is FIRED. Liberals get to do a fake apology and then go right back to hating normal people.
Deport with all dispatch. Does not belong here.
Apology accepted, Mr. Bashir.
It was better than I expected from him. While I do not know how sincere he is in his words, or whether he was forced to make the apology, he left himself no wiggle room with the “I’m sorry if my words offended you” or “That wasn’t me” or “She drove me to do something stupid.”
As he is normally one of the more obnoxious talking heads, I will note his words and tone, and hope that he takes his own advice.
"That the politics of vitriol and destruction is a miserable place to be, and a miserable person to become. And I promise that I will take the opportunity to learn from this experience."
And a pardon in December 2016.
“I deeply apologize for letting the mask of civility slip, ever so briefly, revealing my truthful nature as a hateful thug, employed by a network of hateful thugs. That was not my intent.”
Funny isn’t it, that he still has his show, but Baldwin’s is suspended for allegedly making a gay slur.
Saying someone should be all but drowned in human waste is a whole lot worse than calling someone a bad name.
Vile, vile man. Vile, vile network.
BANG BANG TOO LATE
Hes not sorry he is a brit POS and needs to be banished from the Obama Kingdom
...”Deport with all dispatch. Does not belong here”...
I agree 100%.
Mr. Bashir: Commit seppuku and then maybe we can talk about the sincerity of your ‘apology’...
