The apology was not to placate as much as it was to clean up (in his mind) what he had said. It was brilliantly worded and heartfelt. He simply felt that he sunk into the sewer with the left.
He apologized for using the left’s tactics. He apologized for using those (oh the horror! or is it whore?) words.
Over the weekend when hearing of his ‘apology’ the same thoughts went through my mind but listening to him yesterday it was not a ‘groveling’ type of statement. In it he brilliantly juxtaposed the left and the right.
This is what happens when you take their money. After reading that article on American Spectator, it's obvious to me that they laid the table, he sat down at it, and when it was time, they pulled the tablecloth and threw everything up in the air. They have been laying in wait for this moment (raking in the money from US the whole time), he stepped into the trap, and now the media can make the story sound bigger than it really is.
Yes, I agree with everything you say. But, they still jumped on his ‘apology’ for their own purpose. All in all, he should have stuck to his ‘satire’ angle (which is what it was). My goodness, people have been called “Nazis” (much worse, I would think, considering they murdered millions - not sure how many millions killed have been attributed to “sluts”).
