Martin Bashir, a “Nightline” co-anchor, was a little loose in the lips the other night while giving a speech at a dinner for the Asian American Journalist Association.
“I’m happy to be in the midst of so many Asian babes,” he said onstage, with his 20/20 colleague Juju Chang nearby. “In fact, I’m happy that the podium covers me from the waist down.” He then noted that a speech should be “like a dress on a beautiful woman — long enough to cover the important parts and short enough to keep your interest — like my colleague Juju’s.” (”See what I have to put up with?” she responded.)
Once he either sobered up or realized his career was at stake, he sent a letter to the AAJA apologizing for his “tasteless” comments that he now “bitterly regrets.”
