Maloney apologizes for using N word

(CNN) – New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney, a Democrat, apologized Monday for using the N word in a recent interview while recounting a phone call she had received.

"I apologize for having repeated a word I find disgusting," Maloney said in a statement. "It's no excuse but I was so caught up in relaying the story exactly as it was told to me that, in doing so, I repeated a word that should never be repeated."

Maloney, who is challenging Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand for the 2010 Democratic Senate nomination in New York, used the full racial slur in an interview with the Web site City Hall while taking aim at Gillibrand's record.

"I got a call from someone from Puerto Rico, said [Gillibrand] went to Puerto Rico and came out for English-only [education]. And he said, 'It was like saying n—r to a Puerto Rican,'" Maloney said. "I don't know-I don't know if that's true or not. I just called. I'm just throwing that out. All of her-well, what does she stand for?"

Earlier Monday, the Rev. Al Sharpton — a supporter of Gillibrand's bid — sharply criticized Maloney for using the word.

What bullshit.....Sharpton, the hypocrite, might to start bitching about the black rappers using the word "nigger" at every opportunity....

How stupid can one be? The article says she didn't use it, she was repeating what someone else had said! This is ridiculous!

This is priceless, froggie. That is the same thing you far-lefties did to Ice Dancer, slamming her for repeating what someone else had said.

No, it's your ridiculous lies that are priceless.

It's been proven that Alec has spouted volumes of vile, mean-spirited vitriol, and your continued sycophantic denials just makes it all the more laughable.

What next, you going to try and claim she didn't say the things I copied from her posts on THIS SITE ALONE?

Wow I was always taught if something was so bad not to repeat it, furthermore if it was repeated it was said!!

They could of done as Bravo did if they felt it was offensive but still needed to repeat it and say the "N" word instead of repeating it

Guess that makes to much sense

How can you quote someone if you don't use their exact words? It is ridiculous.
How do you do that in conversation, go "bleep"? rolling eyes back at you...

If you hint at the word isn't that also using it because you have used it in your mind? Do I sound like you now? Like thinking of naked ladies and lusting after them, don't some think you have already committed adultery?
Rolling eyes, yet again!

No you don't sound like me at all, you sound like someone trying to spin things

How can you quote someone if you don't use their exact words? What is ridiculous. is your spinning, lets try this again, they could of used the letter "N" to describe what they were saying, after the OJ trial I seriously doubt anyone wouldn't know what the letter "N" is referring to, and your argument of thinking of naked ladies and lusting after them, LMAO, I have never seen anyone arrested for rape cause they thought of what the other person would look like naked or how he/ she would be in bed, OOO sure I am sure there are some that say it is wrong but no it is not adultery!

Once again, another willfully ignorant neocon parrot squawks loudly about something HE KNOWS ABOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT.

Yep, once again hyper-sensitivity (and an up-coming election year) gets everyone apologizing when they shouldn't, and criticizing when none is necessary.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

It's different if you're quoting. Although you should generally sanitize the quote as well when you're in an interview or something, it's not nearly as bad as using the word seriously.
