Apology Accepted?

From Yahoo/AP

    "Some may believe that my remarks crossed the line," the Illinois Democrat said. "To them I extend my heartfelt apologies."

What about to those that think that the remarks were spot on? Is there a winking or a finger crossing here?
    His voice quaking and tears welling in his eyes, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate also apologized to any soldiers who felt insulted by his remarks.

    "They're the best. I never, ever intended any disrespect for them," he said.


What's the deal with Senators crying?

Voinovich and Durbin.

Who's next?

I think we should start a blog pool -- which will be the next Senator to cry?

1) Tom Harkin: "ADM wil have to (sniff) survive on only...$341 Million next year if these cuts are..are enacted (bwaaaaaaa!)

Folks love to see a grown man cry. If Pete Rose could have bawled a little and worked up some sniffles, he'd be in the Hall of Fame. Nothing says "I really mean it," like a few tears streaking down the cheek. So, let's take a look at what Durbin did and didn't mean. He didn't mean he was wrong or that he was sorry for being wrong. He is sorry for having offended anyone. Hmmm... to me that sounds like he still thinks he's right and if I'm an idiot and can't see that, he's sorry I've got a bee in my bonnet. Furthermore, he's sorry that all of my idiot friends have bees in their bonnets too and that we are now making his life miserable. He's sorry he is no longer on anybody's list of potential VP candidates too. Well boo hoo Senator, apology not accepted. Cry me a river.
