How did Sean wimp out?
IMO Sean wimped out by giving Colmes a "we all make mistakes" pass. I think if Sean had to apologize, Colmes would have told him to know what he is talking about.
I understand those shows work at a fast pace and they can decide to banter, or move quickly to something else they want to convey in the next segment. For them to mention it at all was huge and I wrote them and said thanks for the gesture.
