""I said the way you're acting is chauvinistic, especially the way you were handling this conversation," she said. "It's not funny."

Later, Brzezinski apologized for her choice of words.

"Now that things are less heated, I didn't like the approach that you took, but just for the record, you are not a chauvinist," she said. "I apologize for calling you one."

I've never seen so much outrage against Joe. And everyone is criticizing Mika for apologizing. Does her apology really weaken any bit of what she said though? To me it just underscores the validity of her assertion that Joe's behavior was chauvinistic.

Or am I kidding myself??
