I would like to make a statement regarding my remark during the Resident's address to both houses last week. To my fellow Republicans, I apologize for the behavior, which we historically witness from the members of the opposition, displayed by me last week. I ask your indulgence for failing to adhere to the higher standards which we conservatives try to uphold. To make that one remark “Lie” is more characteristic of Nancy Pelosi who called the conservatives or those who embrace an opinion opposite to hers as Nazis, or expressions such as those made by Sen Reid about former President Bush when he served in office, or even the disrespectful boos and hisses emanating from the opposition during the Bush Administration....yes I regret that I, in an instant of unbridled frustration, allowed myself the luxury of behaving in the manner we would expect of the democrats across the aisle. That said, I stand by my opinion.
Yup
Like that British lord, who during a debate in Britain's House of Lords, insulted another and was asked to give an apology. The lord stood up and said :
“I called the Right Honourable Lord a thief and a liar it is true and I am sorry for it. And the Right Honourable Lord may punctuate as he pleases.”.
