...During a segment about Maj. Mariam Al Mansouri, a female pilot from the United Arab Emirates who led a mission this week against ISIS in Syria, Eric Bolling referred to her mission as 'boobs on the ground.'
'Problem is, after she bombed it she couldn't park it,' said Greg Gutfeld.
...
Now, after outrage from viewers, and even his own wife, following these insensitive remarks, he has apologized.

'I made a joke and when I got home, I got the look, and realized some people didn't think it was funny at all,' Bolling said on the air today...I said sorry to my wife and I apologize to all of you as well and want to make that very clear.'
...
Gutfeld still has yet to apologize for his statement.

When Ed Schultz made a sexist comment, he made a teary apology and was taken off the air for a week by MSNBC. Fox seems happy with a limp apology--or none at all in the case of Gutfeld.

1. apology not accepted here.

The 1950s called. They want their stupid, sexist, non-funny "joke" back.

2. Faux is a cancer

I don't want to hear apologies, just tell me when they go out of business. Fucking tabloid filth

3. atually, i think if the coment was made on our side, we would have those saying we have no humor.

me? i would see the issue whether we made the comment or fox. but, i will be straight in saying. i can see this happen on this side of the isle.

4. So there is no difference between republicans and Democrats on this issue?

[seabeyond]

7. i have often stated it isnt a political party issue. nerd/frat/sports issue, religion/atheist issue,

but a man issue

5. Of course. Progressives can be sexist too, as you well know. nt

6. When you look for the worst in people, you can usually find something to justify your opinion.

I'd rather focus on the positive.

8. if you cannot even recognize a problem, you will never be albe to see a solution.

i am a problem solver at heart.

9. chickenhawk can't stand a woman being tougher then him

a quick google of this chicken hawk showed no history of military service. And I am sorry I wasted any time on this fool.
I'll believe his apology when it is done on air, might still not accept it, might not trust it, he's gotta do it on air.

12. Good point! I didn't catch that he didn't even say it on air! nt

10. So Gutfeld made a "women drivers" joke?!?

What is it, 1958? Who makes jokes about "women drivers" anymore? It's ridiculous.

They really are living in some weirdo conservative time warp.

11. Yes. But Bolling ' s "boobs" line is getting all the attention.

Both are horrifically sexist.
