Apologize?
I’ve been wondering why President Bush’s opponents have been so obsessed with his “refusal” to apologize. It looks like how many of President Clinton’s opponents wanted him to say the two magic words, “I Lied”. They approach these phrases almost like they are a talisman.
The funny thing is, because the subject of their opprobrium KNOWS this, he will not give it to them. Kind of like how Superman won’t give Lex Luthor some Kryptonite.
Douglas Kern at Tech Central Station does a good job of exposing why politicians who know that his opponent obsessively wants him to say something,
won’t.
