CNBC’s Larry Kudlow on the earthquake in Japan: “The human toll here looks to be much worse than the economic toll and we can be grateful for that.”

Update from Vanity Fair:

On Friday evening, Kudlow offered an apology for his comments through the most intimate means at his disposal—no, not his television show that was airing in an hour—his Twitter account. “I did not mean to say human toll in Japan less important than economic toll,” he wrote. “Talking about markets. I flubbed the line. Sincere apology.”

The two b!tche$ sitting next to him didn't flinch either. What shallow people.

In a moment of high emotion over possible loss in his portfolio and deep concern about his wallet, he let the truth slip out.
