Reminds me of George Allen’s attempt to sidestep his “makaka” remark. The strategy’s the same: make nice, then ask, “Who are you gonna believe, me or what I just said?”

At a certain point, once this stuff is out there the damage is done and no amount of recanting can take it back.

I agree. The infraction gets way more press and air time than does an apology. I also think the goopers know this and it’s why they are always baselessly shooting their mouths off. I’m talkin’ to you Mr. DICK Cheney

No, Cheney shot someone else’s mouth off.
But he’s still a DICK.

(How could anyone on earth vote for Bush if they knew how Cheney snowed him into the vice-president choice? Dicks.)

Nice range of choices. And this guy’s a major GOP prez aspirant.

Odds are with the second of these, n’est ce pas? In a year or two we’ll begin hearing the “White Supremacists took over my party” defense from another ten percent of the 33.
