Palin Accepts Martin Bashir's Apology

Palin was on Fox News Sunday this morning where she said that she accepts the apology of MSNBC host Martin Bashir. Then she went on with her usual Mama Grizzly routine.

“As for the networks condoning those type of statements—because there’s been no punishment of a fella who said these words—that’s hypocrisy, that’s a given, though, when a conservative woman says something that they take offense, they usually just kind of poo-poo it, laugh it off as no big deal,” Palin said. “As for personally taking shots—everybody in life takes shots. You have a decision in life when you take a shot: are you going to become bitter or better? In a case like this: I don’t have to accept his words, his vile, evil comments, they don’t have to affect me. I move on and charge forth.”

“However, if Mr. Bashir, or anybody else in this media elite bubble that they put themselves in were to attack someone who is defenseless, like a vulnerable child, who does not have that podium, that microphone that god has blessed me to be able to express my opinion, if they don’t have that type of platform to defend themselves—well, if you want to see a Mama Grizzly get riled up and slap that person down, then you come after that vulnerable child,” Palin said. “In this case, he didn’t come after a vulnerable child. I can defend myself.”
