Public radio producer who fantasized about Limbaugh's death apologizes
Last night, The Daily Caller reported that Sarah Spitz, a public radio producer for the NPR affilaite KCRW in Santa Monica, fantasized about watching Rush Limbaugh die and not doing anything to help him. This afternoon Spitz released the following statement:I made poorly considered remarks about Rush Limbaugh to what I believed was a private email discussion group from my personal email account. As a publicist, I realize more than anyone that is no excuse for irresponsible behavior. I apologize to anyone I may have offended and I regret these comments greatly; they do not reflect the values by which I conduct my life. That's a half-assed apology. The issue is not whether we were offended, the issue is whether she recognizes she was wrong and expresses remorse. | The Daily Caller originally -- and wrongly -- reported that Spitz was an at NPR rather than a producer at an NPR affiliate. NPR has been quick to clarify that Spitz did not work directly for them.
