Once Again: Kerry’s Apology Was Not Genuine

Posted by: Brian on November 5, 2006 at 2:42 pm

Newsweek dishes the dirt:

Chuck Schumer got right to the point. On Thursday afternoon, the New York Senator, who’s leading the Democrats’ efforts to win back the Senate, called John Kerry and let him have it. The Massachussetts Senator’s supposed “botched joke” about the president’s handling of Iraq had become a feast for Republicans—sucking up tons of airtime and knocking Democrats off message in the crucial remaining days before the midterm election. Kerry’s attempts to fight back, by calling the Republicans “stuffed suits” and “right wing nutjobs” was only prolonging the story and making things worse. Apologize now, Schumer told him, according to a high-ranking party official who didn’t want to be named talking about a private conversation.

Which is exactly what we right-wingers thought was behind this “non-apology” apology. It wasn’t that he was truly sorry for his remarks, he was basically told to apologize, just to get it out of the news.

    And as always, Mark Steyn hits it out of the park.

    I love his closing remarks:

    To be sure, the progressives deserve credit for having refined their view of the military: not murderers and rapists, just impoverished suckers too stupid for anything other than soldiering. The left still doesn’t understand that it’s the soldier who guarantees every other profession — the defeatist New York Times journalist, the anti-American college professor, the insurgent-video-of-the-day host at CNN, the hollow preening blowhard senator. Kerry’s gaffe isn’t about one maladroit Marie Antoinette of the Senate but a glimpse into the mind-set of too many Americans.
