I knew that the ‘apology’ was a big mistake. Remember, this has happened AFTER the apology was issued. Obviously, the apology did not prevent this from happening, in fact, I believe that it gave the critics legitimacy in their ridiculously hypocritical efforts.
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.
