Notes:

"On Tuesday, the controversial TV star tweeted, regarding the Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, an African American woman, that “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.” (The tweet was soon deleted.) When her show was canceled as a result, Barr attributed the remark to the sedative sleep drug Ambien.

“Guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting--it was memorial day too--i went 2 far & do not want it defended--it was egregious Indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t but…don’t defend it please,” she wrote later on Twitter. She added, “Not giving excuses for what I did (tweeted) but I’ve done weird stuff while on ambien--cracked eggs on the wall at 2am etc.”"
