Re: Kerry apologizes
[ QUOTE ]
How hard would it have been for him to just come out and apologize immediately? Now it looks like he's apologizing because he was told too. WTF??!?!?! How can an experienced politician let this debacle happen? Republicans are evil, but Democrats appear to be retarded. This sucks.

Hindsight is 20/20. I'm sure he was hoping that there would be some bigger story to blow up and everybody would forget his gaffe (with the exception of right-wing radio, but he doesn't care about that). Apologizing makes it a story when it doesn't have to be one. Think how many non-stories that have happened over the last few years because of non-apologies. As I type this, they are all not going through my head right now.
That's the politics anyway. Content-wise, he probably should have apologized because it was a dumb thing to say.
