Alan recently left me a little note about getting my blood pumping again, and sent me this little news story in which Rosie apologized....sort of:
"To say 'ching chong' to someone is very offensive, and some Asian people have told me it's as bad as the n-word. Which I was like, 'Really? I didn't know that.I'm sorry for those people who felt hurt or were teased on the playground. But I'm also gonna give you a fair warning that there's a good chance I'll do something like that again, probably in the next week, not on purpose. Only 'cause it's how my brain works."
Wow. I don't have anything to say about that that. Well, wait. This is me. I do have something to say. I was kinda with her up to the point of "I'm sorry for those people who felt they were hurt or were teased on the playground."
She lost me there. That was about as good as a "kiss my ass sorry" -- which is where you're saying you're sorry because you have to. Not because you're sorry.
Well, I can say this much. I don't have to accept that sorry excuse for an apology. Just because someone offers an apology doesn't mean I have to take it. And it's probably not going to mean much, but Rosie, you can shove that apology up your ass.

As angry as the initial comments made me, her so-called apology was fightin' words, iMO. She nearly pisses her pants and screams "homophobia" over Kelly Ripa's fairly innocuous comment, pretty much outing Clay Aiken in the process, but brushes aside critcism of her comments as hypersensitivity.
That hypocritical bitch isn't sorry at all, and I hope the next person of color who's a guest on The View will have the good sense to rip her a new one.
That wasn't an apology, that was blatant slap in the face...it's like when i say 'i'm sorry you feel that way'...i'm not sorry about what i did or said, just that the reaction to it was this, that, or the other thing.
obviously her sensitivity to non-mainstreams epitaths and dialogue stops at the intersection of lesbian & homosexual.
