As Twitchy reported, conservatives were rightly disgusted with CNN’s Carol Costello when in an on-air segment she introduced audio suggesting that Bristol Palin was assaulted by a man at a brawl in Anchorage, Alaska last month as “quite possibly the best minute and half of audio we’ve come across in a long long time.” And then she laughed as it played.
On Thursday, Costello issued a statement to Politico saying, “Over the past few days I have been roundly criticized for joking about a brawl involving the Palin family. In retrospect, I deserve such criticism and would like to apologize.”
And that’s it.
Dean Cain and followers still couldn’t shake Costello’s smugness.

@RealDeanCain @CarolCNN Stupid is the word, and fired is another word.

@RealDeanCain @CarolCNN Apparently violence against women is ok as long as it's a Palin or a conservative?

Yes, and Talking Points Memo’s Josh Marshall can explain why if you’re interested.

@RealDeanCain Are these the women that want equal rights? Liberals, 2 tongues, 1 mouth.

@RealDeanCain @CarolCNN It's disgusting and she needs to be fired. I guess being a professional isn't required at CNN.

@RealDeanCain @CarolCNN Unprofessional and petty
