Jay's Form Letter

Dear _________,

I regret offending you (again). In fairness to everyone else here, my opinions represent no ones but my own. The remarks were a poor attempt at (cheap humor/shift blame/making light of a difficult situation/blaming the governor). Calling the ________________was excessive in making the point. I simply meant to say________________________________________but not _________________ or _______________________________,that was just plain rude.
I realize in context with some of my other espoused beliefs that such a comment may sound more serious, but I insist I intended nothing more. I truly love and accept all peoples, regardless of race, orientation, etc.; but my tendency to invoke stereotypes as humor creates the need explain myself as someone who objects to hate and prejudice. I now see the easier route to defining myself more favorably as keeping those comments out of our conversation.

With your permission, I like to offer this as a public apology by posting it on our blog and apologizing on the air.

If I don't offend you again for at least a couple years this time, would you consider it progress? I may be more flawed than others, but we're the type of personalities willing to bare our true souls for our listeners rather than follow a script, and with that approach comes some risk. Regardless of whether or not you agree, you're feedback is always welcome.

Sincerely,

Jay
