MSNBC Host Martin Bashir Resigns After Suggesting That Someone Should Sh*t In Sarah Palin’s Mouth

A couple of weeks ago, Martin Bashir, the host of an afternoon program on MSNBC, suggested someone take a hot, steamy dump right in to human jibberish machine Sarah Palin’s mouth. Today, Bashir announced his resignation in a press release distributed by MSNBC.

After making an on-air apology, I asked for permission to take some additional time out around the Thanksgiving holiday.

Upon further reflection, and after meeting with the President of MSNBC, I have tendered my resignation. It is my sincere hope that all of my colleagues, at this special network, will be allowed to focus on the issues that matter without the distraction of myself or my ill-judged comments.

I deeply regret what was said, will endeavor to work hard at making constructive contributions in the future and will always have a deep appreciation for our viewers – who are the smartest, most compassionate and discerning of all television audiences. I would also wish to express deepest gratitude to my immediate colleagues, and our contributors, all of whom have given so much of themselves to our broadcast.’

Maybe Bashir and Alec Baldwin can form a support group for gaffe-prone left-wingers who used to have shows on MSNBC?
