Former Washington Times Chief Says Knock Off Osama And Obama
 Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Out of control! We cannot believe she said this on national television!   Or at all! Former New York bureau chief of the Washington Times, Liz Trotta, is a sometimes correspondent for FOX News. She recently sat down with a FOX News host for a conversation about - what else? - Hillary Clinton's remarks about RFK's assassination. In the context of the subject, Trotta suddenly gave a very strange comment in which she mixed up Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden, and then slammed them both.

"And now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama...Obama. Well, both, if we could."

Yes, she really did say that! Watch.

The next morning, she went on Fox News Monday morning and apologized, saying:

I am so sorry about what happened yesterday. In a lame attempt at humor I really just fell all over myself in making it appear that I wished Barack Obama harm or any other candidate, for that matter. I sincerely regret it and apologize to anybody I've offended.   It's a very colorful political season and many of us are making mistakes and saying things we wish we hadn't said.

We are?
