AN UTTER MORON
Allow me a moment free of the politically correct cuddliness you've come to expect from me. Here's a quote from a relative of a 9-11 victim: "It's the first time we have had a public apology by any of the officials that were in office on that terrible morning." Reality check, babe. Terrorists killed your husband and there's not a damn thing that President Bush, Condoleezza Rice, President Clinton or Sandy Berger could have done about it. You want an apology, talk to Osama.

Being a victim deserving of sympathy does not give you the free right to be a bloody fool and partisan hack, free from criticism.

And did you catch that AP headline: Clarke is a Hero. Good lord, he didn't stop it either, he just got all weepy and PC and emotional. Feelings=legitimacy. But, I wouldn't expect anything better from big, bad corporate media.

UPDATE: OK, I'm still a little cuddly and changed my title for this post.
