Comments on: Lieberman To Apologize For Being Such A Prick? http://fdlaction.firedoglake.com/2008/11/13/lieberman-to-apologize-for-being-such-a-prick/ Politics for liberal newsgeeks Fri, 17 Feb 2012 22:00:00 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Jean2k http://fdlaction.firedoglake.com/2008/11/13/lieberman-to-apologize-for-being-such-a-prick/#comment-19528 Jean2k Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:35:49 +0000 http://campaignsilo.firedoglake.com/2008/11/13/lieberman-to-apologize-for-being-such-a-prick/#comment-19528 <p>The whole premise of apology as recompense is bogus, as well as lame. </p> <p>Bogus, because I’m sure that Lieberman could work up one of those conditional, not-personnally-responsible, non-apologies that say nothing worthwhile, if he wanted to. </p> <p>Lame, because any apology short of naked self-flaggelation and abject groveling in public would not do justice to Lieberman’s transgressions.

Bogus, because I’m sure that Lieberman could work up one of those conditional, not-personnally-responsible, non-apologies that say nothing worthwhile, if he wanted to.

Lame, because any apology short of naked self-flaggelation and abject groveling in public would not do justice to Lieberman’s transgressions. Actively campaigning against “your” guy? Joining the ugly, knuckle-draggers’ chorus of not trustworthy, socialist, and terrorist? Back-stabbing the very guy who helped save your own sorry ass?

Sorry, Evan. An apology doesn’t come close to cutting it. Put me down for some of that public groveling, just to remain in the caucus. Chairmanship of HS should be out of the question.

I think I also heard this to explain why Pelosi could not be removed as Speaker until the end of the session.
