The Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling offered a “total and remorseful” apology for his racist comments today, telling reporters, “Once I saw that Donald Trump was defending me, I knew I had done something horribly wrong.”

Sterling acknowledged that he had turned a blind eye to a mountain of criticism from basketball luminaries and national leaders, but said that seeing Trump defend him on Fox News on Monday had left him “shaken.”

“Look, I know I’m not perfect,” he said. “But when Donald Trump takes your side, you have to take a long, hard look in the mirror and ask yourself, ‘Have I become some kind of monster?’”

1. I hadn't heard that Trump came to his defense

Whatever it is that Trump said, it must have been breathtakingly dumb, brazen, and offensive.

6. Oh, my stupid.

I saw the "New Yorker" link but failed to see the "Borowitz" part. Dang links are too dang long.

8. If you listen to the Sterling tape he can't even put a sentence together.

He doesn't speak clearly enough to sound like the Borowitz piece.

9. yeah but

it didn't ring true. I'd have thought he'd welcome The Donald's support.

5. But this is Andy Borowitz.

He's really funny, but methinks he moves things around a bit for comic effect.

(Sorry, Kama Aina beat me to it!)
