how often do we note to our cost the uselessness and vapidity of what passes for our political debate? one brick in the pap wall of our discourse is the demand for apology.
whenever the meat thrown to the base is too raw for general public consumption, the routine response tendered to the media is the demand for an apology.
whether its the current boner-boner, or imus, or coulter, or dick durbin, the demand for the invariably canned apology should be ridiculed to death forth-with.
so c'mon chairman dean, face it. we don't want boehner to apologize; we don't want to encourage anyone to pay attention to his exculpatory babblings. we want to hang his callous disregard for our soldier's lives around his neck and the necks of those who chose such a one as him as their leader in the house.
this is who they are, its how they see the world. our business is to ask people to recognize examples of their rottenness when they come, and reject the party and its politicians who have thrived on it and brought us to where we are now.
they can't apologize themselves out of what they've done or what they've said. why pretend they can?
