10 Most Egregiously Necessary Apologies (McCain's 'Ugly Chelsea' Remark)

Boston Globe ^ | 3/3/08

[Mr. Brightside]

Ugly Chelsea?

"I made a very unfortunate and insensitive remark. It was the wrong thing to do, and I have no excuse for it.''

-- Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, June 11, 1998

___________________________________

McCain was apologizing for telling a Republican fund-raiser that Chelsea Clinton was "so ugly'' because "she's the child of Janet Reno and Hillary Clinton.'' According to "My Bad," he later sent a note to the Clintons.

OMG did he really say that? If so, he’s now got my vote.

[ProfessorGage]

Damn! He said that? Now I guess I have to vote for him after all. Oh well.

[ProfessorGage]

Beat me by SIX SECONDS!!! You *&(%!!*&!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

You *&(%!!*&!

That sounds like something McCain would say (to a Republican). ;-)

Doesn't a female have to be involved?

[YoungSoutherner]

I was thinking the same thing.

[reagan_fanatic]

I always suspected Reno had a package - this just proves it.

[Southack]

They had to go back a decade for this one!

Did you see how the votes broke down? McCain’s apology is more egregiously necessary than Vick’s.

Now it’s your turn. Whose actions required the biggest apology?

Cardinal Bernard Law
52.7%
Bill Clinton
18.2%
John McCain
15.1%
Michael Vick
5.5%
Paul Evans
3.4%
Lawrence Summers
2.1%
Larry Craig
1.1%
TBS Chairman Phil Kent
0.7%
Ann Landers
0.7%
Wade Boggs
0.3%
Total votes: 17899

Or let us know of a bad behavior that required a bigtime mea culpa.

[al baby]

Well were waiting

[mad_as_he$$]

1998 - He has grown to appreciate Hillary since then.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

He apologized for saying “Janet Reno” instead of “Web Hubbell”?

[Hacklehead]

Did this really happen? I know chelsea is uggo, but how freaking stupid do you have to be say it publicly. If you are going to say horrible things about someone, at least have the decency to do it behind their back.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

What do you get when you cross a gay eskimo with a black guy?

A Democratic candidate more impervious to criticism than Barack Obama?

[Mr. Brightside]

lol!

[Responsibility2nd]

Package? Reno? Well maybe, but....

Whden Chelsea was a kid growing up in the White House, she asked that her room be re-decorated, because it was so ugly.
The interior decorator told Chelsea that he would take down all the mirrors immediately! :/

[MBB1984]

Yes, he made those remarks back when he was a conservative. Ten years has changed McInsane in the worst kind of way.
