Energy Secretary Steven Chu has outdone the doctor who declares the operation a success although the patient died. Chu won’t even say he’s sorry for the loss.
The corpse here is the $535 million loan given to Solyndra, the solar company whose business model relied on massive infusions of cash from the White House. The firm is defunct, the cash is gone to money heaven, and Chu can only say it’s “unfortunate.”
In five hours of congressional testimony, he refused to apologize for wasting so much taxpayer dough.

Besides which Chu is a real “corpse man” ~ just a matter of time until he’s gone ~ you can do a countdown on it already and not be far off the mark.
He's lost a lot of face on this ~ but I'm still not convinced it's about that kind of "Chineesiness" ~ more likely about his "Chi Com ishness".
“Chu is very much wrapped up in his ethnic Chineesiness. To apologize for actions however stupid and dishonest would be to lose face. He has this big overachieving family, and he will not dishonor them by admitting he’s a piece of shit.”

Thank you for the common sense.
He gave the money to the people he was told to give it to. He told Congress exactly what he was told to tell them. Nobody told him to say he was sorry.
Bill Clinton taught them all a huge lesson: Deny, Deny, Deny. Destroy the opposition. Then claim “it’s old news, let’s move on”.
This is how he has been successful in avoiding prosecution for the felonies, abuse of power, and treason he and his PIAPS wife have committed over the years.
Oh, and being an ‘exceptionally good liar’ didn’t hurt either.
Solyndra is not the only one by a long shot. Focusing on it makes this scandal less than it should be.
