Actually, I'd love for him to announce that he will apologize, then stand before the House and launch into a diatribe against the lying SOB in the White House. He'd get national coverage. (A bit reminisent of Galileo's recantation in which he finished by quietly saying (about the Earth) "But it
does move."
And the Republicans should be positioned to back him up to the hilt.
But that would never happen.
