“While I just wanted to make the point that the public should wait before passing judgment, I unfortunately used my own poor judgment in choosing inappropriate language that many view as disparaging to U.S. service members,” Friedman said. “That was certainly not my intent and I regret making the comments on my personal account in such a way. I apologize to those with whom I work in the Administration, at HUD, and, most importantly, to any service members who took offense.”

Whatever happened to, 'I screwed up, and obviously had my head up my ass when I composed that tweet'.

Even when some political critter makes the most egregious comments, at best we get these mealy-mouthed half-apologies...

"...choosing inappropriate language that many view as disparaging to U.S. service members.." [translation: 'not that it was actually disparaging, but many of the unwashed, knuckle-dragging, clingers might take it in such a way']

"...That was certainly not my intent..." [right]

"...I apologize to those with whom I work in the Administration, at HUD, and, most importantly, to any service members who took offense". [no qualifiers on his apology to his fellow political critters, but a pseudo-apology to those thin-skinned service members who took offense]

I also recognized the apologetic, non-apology for unintended offenses related to the specific verbiage that was used for those who took offense or interpreted his tweet in the most contemptible manner.

This a$$bag grins himself to sleep at night, oblivious to his embarrassing contribution to the human race while arrogantly deceiving himself about his own worth, intellect and significance. If douche bags could talk, he’d hide them in his colon.
