Wednesday’s Word of Wisdom: Felicity Huffman re: her use of the word retarded on The Talk yesterday.

“So sorry about the R word. It’s all I can think about; wish I could rewind and not use such an offensive term……I deeply apologize for my thoughtlessness and I ask for your forgiveness…..I have people who are very close to me that are mentally challenged and I believe in acceptance, love and inclusiveness. 

I messed up.”

I’m pretty sure she heard from Eva Longoria, who has a sister with intellectual disabilities.


And this one, from Maya Angelou. “When you know better, you do better.”

Forgiven.
