Rude and crude.
Morgan needs to be the one apologizing.
Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley need to be fired and fined.


TNT apologizes for Tracy Morgan's crude Sarah Palin remark
by Jeff Labrecque

TNT has released a statement, apologizing for Tracy Morgan’s crude remark about Sarah Palin on last night’s Inside the NBA pregame show: “It’s unfortunate Mr. Morgan showed a lack of judgment on our air with his inappropriate comments. We apologize for any embarrassment or offense it may have caused.”

During yesterday’s live broadcast, co-hosts Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley handed 30 Rock‘s Morgan a microphone and asked him to settle a bet: Tina Fey or Sarah Palin? “Me and him have this argument all the time, ” crowed Smith, referring to Barkley. “[Morgan's] the only one who can settle it. Tina Fey or Sarah Palin?” They were clearly not asking which woman was smarter or faster in a race.

Morgan responded as he would if he were on stage. “Yo, let me tell you something about Sarah Palin. She’s good masturbation material.”

Co-host Ernie Johnson quickly pulled down the curtain, saying “I want to thank Tracy Morgan for stopping by.”

lol...but it is true

Perhaps so.
Not very professional of TNT.
Now, if they had said the same thing about Michell O., which would be highly unlikely , there'd have been all sorts of helll breakin' loose.

They might look into soliciting a better class of commentators.

I love TNT. I dont think it was necessary for them to apologize for something they didnt direct or cause to happen but it was admirable of them to show the sentiment.

You're right. All those who participated need to do the apologizing.

I don't know about you but, if a bunch of women thought of me as someone great to masturbate to, I'd take that as a compliment.

Maybe Palin can make her some bucks off it.

to each their own, I cant honestly say I would consider it an insult although I would consider it a disrespectful way of paying a compliment.

I agree.

It was an insult and disrespectful to a woman.
Would be to most any woman, I imagine.

M.O. is kinda hot, wouldn't be my first choice to grease the pole, but any port in a storm is good...

Why just beat off to Sarah Palin when getting all sloppy with her would be even more fun!

..what did they expect..? it was Tracy Morgan...
