And what I should have taken the time to point out was that I was conflating Hamdaniya and Mahmoudiya, and that's where there have been some convictions and, in fact, a confession. And I gave the impression that that was about Haditha, and I want to make it very clear that I regret that was misunderstood.

Of course, Colmes got it wrong AGAIN in his apology. And Hannity was no better. The point is not about someone making a verbal flub because they're on four times a day. The point is fairness toward the accused.

But I'm moving on. This is as much as we're going to get at this point. We'll fight again to get the Haditha Marine families heard.

BTW, Hannity gave me a new tagline.

HANNITY: But you know what? We talk a lot, and I didn't articulate it as well as I should have. And I apologize.

I just noticed this, the transcript attributes this statement to Hannity, which makes no sense, it was Colmes who said it.

This part is telling,(with the correction to transcript)

.............:

HANNITY: We're on the air, both of us, four hours a day. There are going to be times you misspeak.

COLMES: Yes.

HANNITY: And you know what? I've done it before.

COLMES: Did you ever -- did you say you made a mistake?

HANNITY: No. But you know what? It always -- we're in an unforgiving environment right now.

COLMES: Right, right. But you know what? We talk a lot, and I didn't articulate it as well as I should have. And I apologize.

HANNITY: Stay on point. You made a mistake.

COLMES: Thank you.

HANNITY: That's it.

COLMES: You want that to be our last word tonight.

.............

Hannity DIDN'T want Colmes to apologize, just say he "misspoke".

Red, if you post the apology somewhere else, remember to make the transcript correction. When I initially cut and pasted it here, I didn't notice it.

Thanks for the post and I agree to move on. Just for fun, could one of you be Anna's baby's father? That would get you on air.

Poor, pitiful Hannity and Colmes, wiling away in their unforgiving environment, eh?
