McCain VP pick laughs as radio host calls Alaskan Senator a 'b*tch' and a 'cancer'

During a radio interview last January, McCain VP nominee Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin laughed as the host questioned Alaska Senate President Lyda Green's parenting, and then further attacked the cancer survivor calling her a "b*tch" and a "cancer."
Outraged Alaskan news media chastised the Governor for "conduct unbecoming a human being, never mind a governor." and others demanding that Palin apologize for her behavior.
Gov. Palin's office then released a public statement that said "Governor Palin was caught off guard by Bob Lester's reference to Senate President Lyda Green." but a writer for the Anchorage Daily News wrote in an op-ed that he 'didn't buy' Palin's explanation and goes on to relay the continued on air attack of Green, and Palin's reactions:
"But there is more. Lester then describes Green's chair as big and cushy. A clear reference to the senator's weight. Palin laughs a third time. She's just having a grand old time.
Palin was clearly enjoying every second of Lester's vicious attack on her political rival.
But it gets worse.
Lester asks Palin point blank: "Do you have any idea of what you did, to make Lyda Green dislike you, hate you?" How does Palin respond? Does she do the right thing? What you would expect from a mature leader, a governor and say, "Bob, Lyda doesn't hate me."
No, she responds like a 13-year-old and says, "Um, you know once and a while I try to figure that out but I can't figure that out."
The report says that Palin did in fact call Green to apologize, but the writer casts doubt on Palin's sincerity as she tells the radio host from the 'Bob and Mark' Show, DJ Bob Lester, that she would be "honored" to have him pay her a visit.
Gov. Palin made a return appearance on the Bob and Mark Show yesterday, August 29, 2008 with her running mate for the White House, Arizona Senator John McCain.
