Damn good thing none of you bastiges laughed at this.
Veteran San Antonio anchorman Randy Beamer did something unusual on the late TV news Monday night: He apologized for a silly -- and potentially hurtful -- moment that happened earlier in the day.
Beamer laughed on WOAI's 5 p.m. newscast while reading the story about Thomas Manning, the first man in the United States to get a penis transplant.
"The story had a word in it that a 10-year-old would laugh at," Beamer said during a later broadcast. He explained that "laughing about this in any way just perpetuates a stigma that these patients should not have to deal with."
His longest apology appeared during his 10 p.m. commentary segment, "San Antonio's Voice," during which Beamer often calls out people for doing dumb things.
This time, he added, it was him who deserved to be called out.
