So, now you take what could have been your finest moment and reduce to nothing? Because the apology means nothing to your enemies, you still have to live with the fact that you said it, it can’t be taken back. The only difference is now, your supporters are mad at you too.
I doubt we’re all really mad at him for his apology. When I heard he’d shouted out during the speech, I knew he’d have to apologise... but that cake was still as sweet nonetheless.
Joe Wilson did a GWBush.
That is, make a comment/action that angers his enemies.
Then following up with a comment/action that angers his friends.
Thus making everyone angry at him.
Small wonder the neo-Fascist Party kicked Repub butt in 2006 and 2008.
Dems excell at lies and election stealing.
Repubs excell at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
