I wonder if she used her feminine napkin earrings to dry her alligator tears?

Her voice cracking and her eyes welling over, Harris-Perry said she apologized to the Romney family “without reservation or qualification” and added, “My intention was not malicious, but I broke the ground rule that families are off-limits. For that, I am sorry.”

I'm not sure about the other panelists, but her own comments seem pretty innocuous. Is it really the case that nobody thinks it's relevant at all that she is black and was herself adopted by white mormons?

I tend to believe her on this issue considering her past. She may not have expected what was said on her show when she decided to run with the segment.

She wished this kid would marry Kanye West's spawn, that alone would be enough for this dipshit to apologize.

Come on. Kardashians, Wests and Romneys as in-laws. Ha ha ha. It's not challenging Louis CK or anything, but it's an amusing image to ponder.

SHE IS A BLACK PERSON THAT WAS ADOPTED BY WHITE MORMONS! WHY IS NOBODY MENTIONING THAT?

The apology looked genuine to me. She's still a dumbass.

So everything must be seen through the prism of race? Got it!

Of course not, but let's not act like her personal situation isn't at all relevant to what she said.

I believe she regrets the segment.

She isn't a bad person or anything. The segment was a comedy on pictures of the year. I give her a pass.

Should have included a picture of her with tampons as earrings.

I give her a pass on this, but the woman is a still a dumbass.

Maybe someone should make fun of her for being bi-racial.

MSNBC has a cultural problem with intolerance. She just fed right into the hands of biggest problem the network has.

I hate the way we have gotten so sensitive about BS like making fun of the Romney's. The woman is crying like a baby trying to apologize.

Me too. But being a whiny little bitch is how you get your way in this country. As evidenced by the proponents of social security, welfare, obamacare, gay rights, unions, abortion, and the list goes on.

Every piece of legislation regarding those issues is based on emotional whining.

If only she had kept going and apologized for all of the hateful, racist stuff she's said.
