CALIFORNIA—A heckler who got into a heated exchange with Bristol Palin at a Southern California bar and restaurant last week has apologized for the incident.

Palin had just finished riding a mechanical bull at the Saddle Ranch & Chop House when Stephen Hanks shouted, “Do you ride Levi like that? Your mother’s a whore.”

“I deeply regret saying those things,” the heckler told reporters, “I should have just let the embarrassment of riding a mechanical bull in a place called Saddle Ranch & Chop House speak for itself.” 

The shift manager of the Ranch/Chop House echoed the sentiment, “We work really hard to provide a place for future reality stars to embarrass themselves and this little fuck-wit had to go and ruin the moment.” 

A fight not including a dead Patrick Swayze, nor a near-dead John Travolta spilled out into the adjoining parking lot. The sounds of “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” spilled out with them and together the brawling horde, aided by the wailing sounds of fiddle, and rolling in a problem-solving mass, moved ever closer to Georgia.
