1. I forgive him also, but am disappointed that he wasn't smarter
than that.

His wife is probably scolding him too.

4. I was displeased when he said it but I've watched him enough
to know it was out of character and a poor choice of trying to be funny. Humor isn't his strong point - honest reporting is.

5. Thanks for being so understanding, cat-ho25!
Ooops, I apologize!

Ooops, I apologize!

Ooops, I apologize! All's forgiven, right? I did apologize three times, after all.

14. Goddammit. By being mature and magnanimous you're totally undermining my point!
I'm going to set up a rhetorical trap for you one day... and it's going to be so damned cunning you'll never see it coming. And then I'll have you----grrrrrr! Yeah! Then I'll have you good!

6. He "glibbed" himself right over a cliff.. . . I'll bet he knew it too. .

9. It was a mistake.
It was offensive. I am confident that he will learn from the experience.

13. Its a mentality that its ok to put women down.. and its timeless...
I just watched a disgusting display between 2-- 19yr olds.. He insulted her intelligence and she didn't say anything or think anything was wrong with it... She was counting out $200.00 and she did just fine.. but he had to throw in some insulting comment about how she can't count and always messes these things up..

So, when comments like these continue.. and it goes right along with the Britney and Paris mudslinging -- thinking its ok.. and it goes to the context of what is ok... Putting women in their place.. and it does have an impact on children... so, no, these comments are not ok.. These are news people, they should be above these things and they should deliver the news...

16. To me, apologies in political situations are worthless. Most are phony. I keep thinking:

why did he say it? It isn't a simple "I misspoke".

20. To steal a line from Stephanie Miller
I think he got caught in a hip slang.

I was a bad call. A very bad call.
