TV bosses have issued an apology after Tracy Morgan made a lewd remark about former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on live TV.

The "30 Rock" star stunned viewers with the comment about the former Alaskan governor during his appearance on the "Inside The NBA" broadcast on Thursday.

Host Charles Barkley asked the funnyman, "Sarah Palin's good looking, isn't she?" prompting Morgan to reply, "Now let me tell you something about Sarah Palin man, she's good masturbation material. The glasses and all that? Great masturbation material."

I just posted his photo!
What an ugly son of a bad itch.
I’ve never heard of him before his smarmy remark.

Ya think they normally talk much politics on Inside the NBA?
Why did Barkley even bring this up? He’s such a jackass.

After Todd got through with him he’d have a tough time eating corn on the cob without any teeth.

I think he used to be on SNL

I don’t get it. David Letterman calls for the rape of Sarah Palin’s kid; Kathy whatserface calls for open season on her. The Democrats and their anchormen/spokesmen call her a stupid slut. Nobody touches them. Tracy Morgan’s comments were lewd, crass, and something I’ve read about 1,000 Freepers suggest at in more subtle tones, and the TV bosses apologize for him.

I can’t believe I’m “playing the race card,” but is it because he’s black? Black people who find white women attractive might rape them? Or, as Working Women’s favorite workplace, Playboy, calls it,”hate f-—.” Yeah, that’s right. The winner of so many feminist awards, including Working Women’s “Best Place to Work” actually named her the woman they’d most like to “hate f-—.” But Tracy Morgan...?

It is time to shut down the entire progressive movement. They are, to a person, vile, foulmouthed ignoramuses. They deserve nothing but absolute contempt.

[brytlea]

Does he have that lock on his neck so no one will steal his head? I don’t think he needs to worry...

I’ve never heard of him before his smarmy remark.

Just another dimbulb idiot trying to make a name for himself?

Liberals always say they were “just joking” when caught saying this type of crap.

It even happened yesterday here in Oklahoma. Since the Education Secretary is a Republican and the board remains Henry's (former Democrat governor) appointments, the liberals decided to be “uncivil” They then said they were “just joking” about the pregnant women.

The kind of remark you would expect from a loser who could only dream about touching Sarah Palin. I'll bet Tracy and Rosy are best friends.

If I were to say what I really think of Tracy Morgan, I would be banned from this forum. For life. Maybe even the after life.
Mark Twain said it for me.

Well — nobody would ever say that about Nancy Pelosi.

Thanks for even remotely suggesting that image.

Hmm, remember A Clockwork Orange? Maybe they should have been using nude images of her majesty Nancy instead. Old Alex DeLarge would surely have been "cured" after that.

My blue tick is howling

I liked some of his stuff when he was on SNL.

Recently watched an HBO concert special he did. I kept waiting for it to get funny, but it was an hour of my life I will never get back. In fact, it got worse with every minute and it was probably one of the crudest stand up routines I had ever seen.

I think he recently got a Kidney Transplant. That must explain why he is as unfunny as George Lopez.

[Old North State]

Well, at least he didn’t say she was ‘nappy headed’, that would have really been bad.

Do you remember a TV show called "Fridays"? Larry David was a regular cast member. The show had the following skit (from Wikipedia):

"The Ronny Horror Show" - A sprawling 17-minute send-up of the incoming Reagan Administration based on The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In the sketch, Ronald Reagan (played by John Roarke in Dr. Frank N. Furter drag) plans on creating the ultimate Republican, but inadvertently creates an angry gay black militant (played by Darrow Igus) who kills Reagan and leads the people in a revolution. To this day many consider this sketch to have been the series' tour de force. Like "Diner of the Living Dead", this sketch was shown when it first came on and subsequently edited out in all reruns. Unlike "Diner of the Living Dead", "The Ronny Horror Show" was edited, not because of content, but because the producer of The Rocky Horror Picture Show protested against the film being parodied without his permission.

Imagine if that had been said about Michelle Obama..the women’s groups would have been up in arms demanding an apology..I don’t hear NOW coming out demanding an apology, in fact, they haven’t said a word about this..not a surprise since NOW only cares for progressive women who love having abortions and vote Democrat..Tracy Morgan is a jackass..plain and simple..sucks to see Ernie Johnson laughing, I expected better from him..Sir Charles, not a shock, this is the same guy who was found screwing some prostitute in his car in some back alley in Arizona(Or was in Alabama, forgot which one)

[Graneros]

That’s exactly what’s needed. On a massive scale.

[lonestar]

Of course he is crude and I didn't care for him on SNL.

But...he was talking about how pretty she is. I don't think he meant it as criticism. And he was talking to basketball plyers!
