My Kind of ‘Apology’!
Something I rarely do is apologize. Not because I’m not sorry for something I did, or didn’t do, but because I honestly dislike the words ‘I’m sorry’! Why? Well, too many people say they are sorry, and then go right on doing the same thing they felt the need to apologize for in the first place. I really do try not to do things I’ll have to be sorry for, although, it has happened. Ask my daughter how I feel about it….she’ll let ya know in no uncertain terms….if you are going to have to say you are sorry, DON’T DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND DAMN SURE DON’T DO IT A SECOND TIME. But that’s just me.
Now, when it comes to political apologies, we’ve been hearing a few lately. From Huckabee to Romney. From Clinton to Obama. Yada yada, blah blah, sugar won’t melt in my mouth, ad nauseum. However, THIS particular apology from Fred Thompson’s campaign to Mike Huckabee?
We apologize for pointing out that as Governor of Arkansas, Huckabee offered in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. That’s something he’d probably just as soon no one talk about.
We apologize for pointing out that in 2002 Huckabee wrote Pres. Bush a letter asking him to lift the Cuban embargo. It’s easy to see how Huckabee might have missed the finer points of a 40-year embargo. While he obviously knew enough about the embargo to ask that it be lifted, Huckabee clearly didn’t know enough to ask that it not be lifted. So for that, we’re sorry.
We apologize for referencing that 47% tax increase Huckabee imposed on Arkansas taxpayers when he was governor. That must be really awkward for him, now that he’s running in a GOP primary election. We notice he never points it out to voters.
We apologize for telling reporters that a BA in Biblical Studies from Ouachita Baptist University doesn’t, in fact, make Huckabee more qualified to fight the war on terror than say…Fred Thompson.
Heh. I like it! I really, really like it!
