Earlier this week, CNN host and “feminist” Carol Costello referred to audio which aired on CNN in which Bristol Palin described a possible assault by a man as “the best minute and a half of audio we’ve come across in a long time.”

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.

Katie Pavlich isn’t buying it:

. @CarolCNN it wasn't a joke, you meant every word of what you said and absolutely loved that the Palin's were attacked. Disgusting.

Also nice touch from your producers to zoom in on Bristol's legs while you sat back & listened about assault of a woman w/ joy @carrolcnn

Will @carolcnn have the integrity to not only apologize on air, but apologize *directly* to @BristolsBlog on air? Doubt it.

.@CarolCNN laughed up the assault of @BristolsBlog on air as "the best thing in a long time" therefore an apology ON AIR is only appropriate

Your move, Ms. Costello.

@KatiePavlich @CarolCNN I wonder if CNN and Carol would have run a similar story about Sascha Obama or Chelsea Clinton? Fair question?
