And that excuses his socialist apology how?

Does it give you a thrill to boast that you have the solution to everything, knowing that there is not a prayer's chance in a Massachusetts courtroom that those solutions will ever be tested in the real world? Do you think it gives you some sort of moral superiority to assume an iconoclastic position and hurl criticism down on the mere mortals below?

Unless you have some magic power to change the equation, your choice for President in November 2004 will be Bush or the Democrat nominee or "none of the above". You might as well come to terms.

And that excuses his socialist apology how?

Read the following word definition, and then tell me how the word "apology fits?"

1. apology -- (an expression of regret at having caused trouble for someone; "he wrote a letter of apology to the hostess")
2. apology, apologia -- (a formal written defense of something you believe in strongly)
3. apology, excuse -- (a poor example; "it was an apology for a meal"; "a poor excuse for an automobile")

Hint:

exaggerate- 1. overstate, exaggerate, overdraw, hyperbolize, hyerbolise, magnify, amplify -- (to enlarge beyond bounds or the truth; "tended to romanticize and exaggerate this `gracious Old South' imagery")
2. overdo, exaggerate -- (do something to an excessive degree; "He overdid it last night when he did 100 push-ups")
