>>>>In order for him to eat crow, there has to be at least a modicum of humility--and I don't see it in that statement. Not even a hint of an apology. Infuriating.
"We made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry."
Dan Rather
Rather may not have gone far enough for you, but he did apologize.
He essentially apologized for getting caught. He didn't apologize to any of the victims of his reckless disregard for the truth.
It's a non-apology.
You're right, it's a really "sorry" apology. He truly owes one to the President. This was no "mistake in judgment"--it was a planned attack, planned for over 5 long years. It was a Kamikazi attack as it turns out, but to claim it was a "mistake in judgment" is all the more infuriating.
He didn't apologize for the crime, he just said that he was sorry. (for getting caught, not for deceiving)
No, dan's sorry dan made a mistake, this was NOT an apology to President Bush for their slander of him.
