"Well, my responsibility I take full blame for that. I told a bad joke. I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception. And since it was a joke I told, I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke. Its not your fault that it was misunderstood, its my fault. That it was misunderstood. (audience applauds) Thank you. So I would like to apologize, especially to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the Governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke. Im sorry about it and Ill try to do better in the future. Thank you very much. "

That works. I’ll give it an A-, but it’s more than I expected.

When a national advertiser pulls out, the real apologies start.

Did an advertiser pull out?
To: Al B.
The network lost an advertiser, and he took the heat.
They forced him to apologize. Arrogant jerk.
They are all still miserable cretin.

So, it took his watching the Jim Lehrer Newshour [and a loss of many sponsors, potentially] for him to ‘see the light’.

What was the correct meaning of the joke for it to be misunderstood? I’m not getting his comment.

Sorry David, but you need to go on an apology tour, publicly humiliating yourself on Rush, Levin, Hannity etc, then, after that tour, you need to be fired.
