Martin Bashir Flushed Away

Martin Bashir, that lovable, cuddly, and trendy, British "journalist" has decided to call it quits from MSNBC since suggesting almost three weeks ago, that someone should defecate in Sarah Palin's mouth. He also called her an idiot on that broadcast, as well as others. I wonder why he's resigning--he's just being his old, liberal self.

Bashir issued a statement to Mediate via email that read: 

"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 contributers, (sic) all of whom have given so much of themselves to our broadcast."
