When did we become a nation of apologists?  Over the past few years everyone seems to be
looking for apologies.  In the old days,
I think it was called making someone cry “Uncle.”

Or “Aunt”.

So in the spirit of the national mood, I’d like to call for an apology of my own:

I’d like an apology from the Bill Clinton for introducing my nephew, 7 at the time, of the words associated with oral sex.  In part because of his conduct, we lowered the national discourse on the evening news to the point where now you might even hear the word “pimp.”  Still I know, it was all a vast right wing conspiracy, so maybe I’ll give the Clintons a break here.

How about:  I’d like an apology from Bill Clinton for looking the nation in the eye and telling a bald-faced lie about “not having relations with that woman.”  Frankly I don’t really care about his shenanigans in the White House.  Although I’m assuming that some who are so freaked out by a word like “pimp”, were terribly freaked out by a man in a superior position committing sexual harassment in the workplace.  Isn’t Monica someone’s daughter, too?  Maybe Monica’s mother should have asked for an apology and then an impeachment?

But supposedly this election isn’t about Bill Clinton, so maybe I should give this a rest.

How about this:  I’d like an apology from Hillary Clinton for duping her supporters with false stories about her campaign financing.  I mean, she was willing to *lie* to her supporters to raise money.  Lie.  To the people supporting her.  I wonder what she would do to get votes?

But, in the grand scheme of things, I suppose that you have to resort to some political moral relativism to get elected these days.

Okay, how about this:  I’d like an apology from Hillary Clinton for her vote on the war in Iraq without even bothering to do her homework (reading the NIE).  People died from that misjudgment.

Let me repeat:  people died.  As in death.  As in not on this earth anymore.

And Hillary still won’t admit error – and for what are obviously political reasons.  Others have.  Why not Hillary?

Yeah, I think I need to hear an apology from Hillary on this one.  Then we can worry about some other campaign apologies.
