◼ Ya gotta hand it to the guy, at least he took responsibility for the deeply insulting and vulgar comments he made. Of course, the diminutive Brit will probably find some other leftist news outlet to spew forth the demented smatterings of his last firing wit. - Soopermexican/IJ Review
◼ Martin Bashir Resigns from MSNBC, Disappointing Dozens of Viewers - The Other McCain
When you think about all the evil things the liberal media have said about Sarah Palin over the years, you know it took a special kind of stupid for Martin Bashir to say something so grossly offensive he had to resign from MSNBC because of it:
“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. . . .“Liberals are better than you and me because . . . they’re liberals,” as I observed at the time of Bashir’s fateful comments. Believing that their politics makes them inherently superior, liberals feel no obligation to cultivate ordinary virtues or even simple courtesy.
“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.”

◼ Confirmed: Martin Bashir too nasty even for MSNBC - Allahpundit/HotAir
They’re calling it a resignation to let him save face but Politico heard through the grapevine yesterday that he’d been suspended for what he said about Palin. Essentially he gambled that, on the left’s cable news network of choice, you simply can’t go too far in insulting the right generally and Sarah Palin in particular. Turns out he was wrong — fantasizing on-air about sh*tting in people’s mouths is the red line, it seems. But be fair: Based on MSNBC’s track record, the odds were with him, no?

◼ Why Martin Bashir’s Resignation Should Not Be Welcome News - Jay Caruso/Pocket Full Of Liberty
I’m no fan of Bashir. I happen to think he’s an idiot whose accent has carried him further than his brain.... That being said, I don’t welcome this news and I certainly don’t think it’s something to be cheered.
Calling on television or radio personalities to be fired for saying something offensive is what the left does. And they do it well.
