A Fox News host has issued an apology after making a sexist comment about a female fighter pilot earlier this week on The Five.
During a segment about Maj. Mariam Al Mansouri, a female pilot from the United Arab Emirates who led a mission this week against ISIS in Syria, Eric Bolling referred to her mission as 'boobs on the ground.'
Now, after outrage from viewers, and even his own wife, following these insensitive remarks, he has apologized.

'Do you think the gents on "The Five," minus Bob, should get a do-over on that one? They're going to get in so much trouble for that one,' she said.
Gutfeld still has yet to apologize for his statement.
Sadly, it seems that Maj. Mansouri is used to these comments, telling CNN in an interview earlier this summer, 'Whenever a woman enters a new male-dominated field, they find the same hesitation, the same prejudice, the same stereotype thinking.

I remember when Obama made his infamous "Apology Tour". It appears The Won's asinine cowering behavior has become infectious, if not epidemic, in some parts of the population...as the posts of the permanently-outraged/offended freepers here have displayed.
Bolling's remark reflected a humorous and topical play on words...and Greg Gutfeld, who is a political satirist, got a good one off about the female pilot's "parking the plane". It gave me a good laugh...and I'm a female.
Looks like this forum is getting a little top-heavy with political correctness, apology tourists, and prissy metrosexuals.
And Guilfoyle should move over to Whoopi's "The View" if she's so easily "offended".

I saw the movie `All Is Lost’ last night, starring Boob Redford in a no-talking role.
It was about a geriatric Boob trying to keep his boat up.
He was pretty spry, not sagging as one might think.
If you can't stand the heat, go back to the kitchen.
The more I watch this guy, the more I am convinced she should be off the air.
You are correct. He is tough to listen to. Keep Tantaros and Guilfoyle on every day. Lose Juan Williams. The whole "dancing bear" is not all that amusing.
It’s nice that Joan Rivers’s writers didn’t have any trouble finding work again ...
I like Eric. Not the cookie cutter TV news type.
I hope the courageous Major never goes Tango-Utah.

think she has ever gone “Testicles to the Bulkhead?”
He gets credit for staying away from the cockpit puns.
there you go ...
And the “joy stick” puns too.
I don’t get the joke?
Over my head I guess.
I call people boobs, morons, goons, all the time.
Why would he be talking about her breasts and the fact that they were on the ground?
Perhaps he was taken out of context?
Perhaps "Boobs over Baghdad" would have been better?
ROFLMAO!
“Boobs on the ground makes it sound like they sent elderly women.”
LMAO!!!! Funniest thing I have heard in a while! :)
Zing. Well done, Eric. Unfunny and shameful. Grow up. Also, it makes no sense whatsoever.
Everyone is so hypersensitive. When will this end?
*incoming...!!*
It's amazing how many people take themselves so seriously, that they are wound too tight.
I thought both jokes were funny and chuckle worthy.
The fact that my wife parallel parks better than I do, doesn't prevent me from joking about her driving. Nothing sexist about it.
But that reminds me...
How about a non-controversial Obama joke?
A man dies and arrives in heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall full of clocks as far as the eye could see.
He asked, "What's with all the clocks?"
St Peter answered, "Those are the lie clocks. Everybody who arrives here has one assigned. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock moves.
The man looked around and asked, "Whose clock is that?"
"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie."
"Incredible," said the man "And whose clock is that one?"
"That's Abraham Lincoln's," replied St Peter, "The hands only moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his whole life."
"Where's Barack Hussein Obamas?"
Oh, Barack's clock is in Sarah Palin's rec room. She's using it as a ceiling fan"
Oh, and in case anyone wonders, yes, Sarah cleans Obama’s clock just about every other day...
