I did not hear that. It is heavily edited anyway. They called a particular woman c***y. It's like saying a particular man is a d**k. So what.

'Sides, it's Bubba the Love Sponge. Ewww. Low brow, below Howard Stern and Opie and Anthony. I know that stuff was popular but I don't get why everyone was so willing to go on those shock shows and say whatever, some of it really gross. I guess it was all seen as tongue and cheek not too long ago but the culture has drastically changed, to taking everything very seriously.

He shouldn't apologize for something he said years ago. He showed up in a stupid show and said something questionable. If he apologized, that means he thought he should be fired. forget about that.

No, if he apologized it would show that he realizes his words were hurtful to women. A bigger man would recognize that. And most women would as well.

Carlson is a loathsome human being, but this won't move the needle at all at Fox. In the eyes of their base, this is Presidential behavior.

Remember, if you're on the left, you can go back as far as you want to smear someone on the right....




If you are on the right, going back years and years, trying to do anything to someone on the left....well, that's just not acceptable...

No, most women would realize that he said something questionable a long time ago, and he doesn't deserve to be fired over it. Apologize or not, that is up to him. In today's environment, he shouldn't be apologizing.

You don't have to be perfect to not defend pedophiles.

The bar doesn't get much lower than "don't say sex with underage, nonconsenting girls is okay".

He does not have to be one to come off as a jerkwad and idiot by defending the actions of one.
