85. He NEVER Apologized!

The statement that he apologized has been bouncing around for the last 2 days, and it's NOT TRUE!

He did the normal conservative backpedal. You know, the Rumsfeldesque "I'm sorry if anyone was offended by my comments. I am sorry if they took them in the wrong way." That's not an apology! Not even close!

There's no retraction, no rethought, no introspection. An apology would be "I'm very sorry for what i said! The reaction has made me reconsider the positions that would have led to me saying such an insulting, disparaging and thoughtless thing." That would be an apology, since it would indicate that the person was willing, and likely, to rethink such hateful rhetoric.

What Reggie said was NOT an apology. Merely damage control.
