MORFORD: I Apologize For My Nasty Slur

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 12/15/6 | Mark Morford

Yes, I said it. And I am very sorry. I was totally drunk. At least, I think I was. Forgive me?

I would like to apologize, right here and now, to the entire black community. And also, of course, the white community. And the Asian American community and the Jewish community and also the Poles and the Latinos and the Italians and what the hell the Scots and the Welsh and the Germans and the nomadic herdsmen of Kuala Lumpur, too. After all, this is no time for bias.

See, I did indeed utter that terrible slur. At least, I think I did. I completely admit it. I'm sure I probably said it aloud, in a room full of people, loud enough for everyone to hear and for everyone to recoil in abject horror, or at least in mild yawning shrug -- which, if you think about it, is probably worse.

And even though I'm not exactly sure what I said and I have no idea if I actually said it or even if it was a slur at all and not, say, a luscious compliment on your beautiful eyes and soft hands and fine callipygian lickability, I do know it elicited some immediate gasps, a few groans, a handful of "Oh my Gods" and even some hearty chortles from everyone within earshot -- but that might be because I didn't have any pants on. Plus, I was on fire. And screaming. Does that ring any bells? Were you there? I can't really remember. And I'm sorry for that, too.

Wow, an actually kind of funny column for Morford. He must be under the influence.
