Tracy Morgan is in hot water again for a controversial joke, this time due to some salacious remarks about former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin. During "Inside The NBA" on TNT before the Heat-Knicks game, Kenny Smith announced that Morgan was the only person who could settle an argument he and Charles Barkley have "all the time." Tina Fey or Sarah Palin? After a few laughs and the observation that Morgan "can't get fired," Charles Barkley encouraged Morgan, saying, "Sarah Palin's good looking isn't she?" Morgan quickly put the discussion to bed with the following comment:

"Now let me tell you something about Sarah Palin man, she's good masturbation material. The glasses and all that? Great masturbation material."

Ernie Johnson quickly tried to change the subject, but the deed was done. Soon thereafter, TNT responded with an apology for Morgan's comments. From USA Today:

"It's unfortunate Mr. Morgan showed a lack of judgment on our air with his inappropriate comments," said Turner spokesman Jeff Pomeroy in a statement. TNT shot off the apology within minutes of phone calls and e-mails about Morgan's comments from Game On!

And what was so wrong with the comment? He was just stating the obvious and if anything it's a compliment to her. That isn't even half as taudry as most stuff on network TV at 7pm these days...

Must disagree. I think she is a bagger in more ways than one.

Eh getting mad at tracy morgan is like getting mad at family guy or south park, the real question is what genius put him on a sports network and why did they interview him and do reporters have common sense anymore.

"he's a black"?...that hardly upsets me, what pisses me off is that they handed that dipshit a microphone to begin with. Oh, and Sarah Palin is pretty hot, for a woman of her age. Don't let your politics get in the way people, lol She's Caribou Barbie

Getting mad at Tracy Morgan for mentioning masturbation during an interview is like being upset at hitler for mentioning his contempt for Jews in an interview. I mean this should have been seen from a mile away lol
