Colorado governor apologizes for 'natives' remark
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/04/01/colorado.governor.ap/index.html

Colorado Gov. Bill Owens apologized for saying "the natives are getting restless" during a conference on tribal gambling.

Owens made the remark at the Western Governors' Association Summit after a participant's microphone wouldn't work and he urged it be fixed quickly. Some attendees told the Rocky Mountain News the audience fell silent, then groaned and chuckled.

"It was an inadvertent comment that the governor regrets," Owens' spokesman Dan Hopkins said Thursday. "He apologizes to anyone who was offended."


what an idiot
