Liberal firebrand Al Franken was forced to apologize for an on-air quip ridiculing someone as a hermaphrodite during his radio show.

According to Bodies Like Ours, an intersex support group, Franken was insensitive when he said conservative talk show host Sean Hannity was “born a hermaphroditic conjoined twin” and “the doctor who delivered him and his twin reacted in horror at their birth.”

Following a flood on angry email, Franken apologized for “furthering the unjustified stigma attached to these conditions.” He said an estimated one in 2000 people are born with atypical genitalia, which, like conjoinment, is a naturally-occurring bodily variation.

“I am sorry for the ill-considered joke,” he said.

If you look at this like a liberal (and I don't profess to) he should be run off the air not just because he said it but because he thought it. Saying it just the verbal reflection of his mind. It's not just some sound that came out of mouth. It was assisted by his brain. A brain more corrupt than anything he accuses us on the right of being.

That's the thing about liberals, they pretend to be so much better than us (on the right). Like their thoughts are so much more "pure" that we unwashed heathen.

But when you get down to they're just human like everybody else. Some good and some bad. They just never want to admit it.

And besides, if a conservative who said what he said they would be off the air by now with liberals burning him/her in effegy. That the real stench of his remark...

Excuse me! That is an apology to Sean? I don't think so. Frankensmut apologized to the people born with atypical genitalia. Oh well, Franken was born without a brain, so all's well that ends well.

Al Franken was born a "Cranus."

And this guy is a comedian? He should apologize for not being funny.

"The really pitiful thing, in a poetic-justice kind of way, is that people like Franken who butt-kiss the "moshpitminds" can never grow up themselves, because they'd lose their constituency, the young idiots of America."

. . .LOL and good point.

Of course, these libs, in whatever pitiful stratophere they inhabit, congratulate themselves just for waking up in the morning for another day of 'butt-kissing'.

It is frustrating to watch; even a poetic justice is too good for these people.
