Well, I hadn't read it, but I remember the day it was posted. In truth, I clicked on the link, saw the source, and dismissed it immediately. I did not read it at the time.

And now I've read it.

I almost wish I hadn't. It was sickening. It was like reading Michael Moore.

I say again, disavowing what was written in the column would mean a lot more than an apology. But we live in a society and a time when saying "I'm sorry" means everything's OK now...like nothing ever happened.

Semper fi, DOAIJV, and good night!

Yes, is IS a horrible column and the author did NOT apologize for what he said about President Bush; he only made excuses.

I read it, when it was first posted and was disgusted by it. I am even MORE disgusted by the sort of, kind of, I'm sorry so many people were angry enough to yell at me about that column , nonapology. I am also angry at those who are treating this so lightly and ignoring the facts that the apology is NO apology and that the column was so putrid in the first place. THis man is a " professional ". If he is so overwhelmed by memories of a personal tragedy , he should have written about that. If he REALLY wanted to apologize, he should have written something better.

This is a damned cop-out and the gullible naifs are buying it.
