When you are right about a person (i.e. Stupak), there is no need to apologize. Neugebauer should not have apologized. It is a sign of weakness.
Apologized? The only thing he should apologize for is not saying it at least ten times and ten times louder. The apologies should come from the rest of the pubs who didn’t join in with him!
The pubs should have disrupted the entire proceeding and prevented a vote at all.
