McCain Accepts Mourdock’s Apology

Source: TPM

An aide for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said Thursday he hadn't seen Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock's press conference when McCain told CNN Wednesday that Mourdock had to apologize for his statement about rape, conception and God's will in order to keep McCain's endorsement.

“Senator McCain was traveling yesterday in Florida and did not have an opportunity to see Mr. Mourdock’s full press conference before he taped his CNN interview," McCain spokesperson Brian Rogers said. "Senator McCain is glad that Mr. Mourdock apologized to the people of Indiana and clarified his previous statement. Senator McCain hopes the people of Indiana will elect Mr. Mourdock to the U.S. Senate."

5. and McCain, having not even heard the original statement, is fully qualified to accept the apology

on behalf of women everywhere. Because McCain has such a sterling reputation in his behavior toward his first wife and daughter.

for the impaired.

And all my forgiveness of McCain's nuttiness just fell into the toilet.

6. What apology?

I'm sorry if YOU are offended is not an apology.

7. McCain is not very swift. He doesn't realize that an apology wont cover up the truth.

But then, McCain has been running on his experience as a war prisoner for years, certainly not his accomplishments as a Senator, nothing more nothing less. He has never contibuted anything for the betterment of this country.

10. Typical Republican male.

Just say "sorry" afterward and any disgusting comment vanishes into thin air.

GOP forgiveness has become a kind of neo-papal indulgence.... easily bought and meaningless.

Talking under the influence of nutbags is causing the old man some difficulty.
