(CNN) - An African-American congressman from Florida is apologizing for his comment that black and Jewish voters should not support Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin because "anybody toting guns and stripping moose don't care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks."
"I regret the comments I made last Tuesday that were not smart and certainly not relevant to hunters or sportsmen," Rep. Alcee Hastings said in a statement issued Monday.

That's not quite an apology, Alcee.
I can't believe this guy's gerrymandered district has lasted as long as it has.

Hastings is a racist and an impreached “judge.” We expected this kind of crap from him.

Incredible, adding insult to insult.
He only grudgingly offers up a pseudoapology to hunters and gun owners. Pointedly NOT including Sarah. Presumably because he got scared of outraging the NRA vote.
