Emails in which Sony executive and major Democrat donor Amy Pascal joked about what kind of movies President Obama might be interested in have her backpedaling wildly:

After weathering one of the most embarrassing days in her career, during which her racially insensitive remarks were disseminated on the Internet, Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal is ready to begin the “healing process,” and reached out to the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

“I’m being proactive,” the executive tells The Hollywood Reporter. “And I want to accept responsibility for these stupid, callous remarks.”

Al Sharpton issued a statement about the emails yesterday:

Richard Grenell, Fox News contributor and former national security spokesman for presidential candidate Mitt Romney, sees where this could be leading:

If Al Sharpton plays this right he'll own Sony Pictures in a few days. @GibsonRadio @DRUDGE_REPORT @THR

And from there, who knows what could be next…
