[QUOTE="Days of Broken Arrows, post: 1180606, member: 4258"] She killed her career with the apology. Now the left is never going to let her live it down. On Twitter, it reads as follows: [i]"I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste."[/i] Everything about this is wrong, from the pseudo-patriotic reference to "Americans" to her asking to be "forgiven." Reality check: It was a joke, not an insult. The "offensiveness" was unintentional, not deliberate. Roseanne's whole act was always in bad taste, so I don't know how she managed to even write that apology. Decades ago when she screwed up a rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" before a ballgame, she grabbed her crotch as if to say "suck this!" when people started to boo. She should have done the same here. [/QUOTE]
