At a CPAC discussion, commentator Cal Thomas made a remark indicating that Rachel Maddow was a good reason to endorse birth control. Ouch!
Greta Van Susteren immediately jumped in to defend Rachel and said Cal was wrong. Today Cal Thomas called Rachel and apologized and said he should not have said that and was sorry. Rachel, in her quite unassuming way, accepted his apology and basically said it was over.
Its nice to see that some of these commentators and news folks do have some manners and if they do wrong, admit it. Do we think that Hannity would have apologized? When donkeys fly.
Rachel Maddow is a true lady.
What got to me was the audience’s reaction to Thomas’ comment.
They laughed!
Probably the same ones who booed the gay soldier.
Rachel Maddow is one of the most polite people I have seen on TV. And good for Greta for stepping up, almost without missing a beat, and addressing the situation. She called out wrong immediately.
good for Greta for speaking up. I also like Rachel, always have.
It would have been classier not to have made the remark in the first place, I submit.
Oh Scout, I agree. But we are talking Cal Thomas here. Does he still live in Manassas or has he moved up the food chain? I was impressed that Greta flew to Rachel’s defense. For that matter, how many people on Fox apologize? I will have full points to Greta and half points to Cal for at least realizing what an oinker he had been.
Ummm…….
