>>Instead, her refusal to accept the apology shows that she’s thin-skinned. The failure to be gracious in the face of an apology is, well, ungracious<<

Unless an apology comes to me, I don’t accept it.
Going on tv and including her in his Mea Culpa wasn’t an apology.

Arguing the semantics of an apology is one thing - and besides the point I was making.

Bachmann had a real political opportunity here to be the better person. He came across as petty and it showed enough for him to recant. Now, in her response, she comes across as petty, as well.

So, they're tied. Except. HE'S not running for President. . .

Perceptions matter.
