Comic Andy Samberg, playing White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, offered an “even-tempered apology” to Americans for his use of the term “f–ing retarded” to describe liberal Democrats in a strategy session. The apology started out quietly, then quickly turned into an expletive-laden rampage. An excerpt:

As for the progressive Democrats whom I used the term in reference to, I should never have called you that. What I should have called you are [bleeping] babies, stupid [bleeping] babies who can’t keep their mouths shut.

You went to the Wall Street Journal with this, you [bleeping] turncoats?! The Wall Street Journal? I’m trying to get [bleep] done here. And I know we’re not moving as fast as you want on health care, but maybe you’ve noticed the Republicans are trying to paint us as Soviet crack dealers.

Offering “humblest apologies” in response to criticism by former Alaska governor Sarah Palin on Facebook, Samberg said:

Here’s a status update: grow the [bleep] up! Poke me again and I will write [bleep] on your wall so obscene your computer will cry.

Go back to the [bleeping] tundra, you [bleeping] gimmick!
