Reply #27: It should have been followed up with the words "I will resign..."

Then and only then will I believe he is being honest. The wording of the statement rings hallow.

It's an empty apology to fool the bots. Might as well said "with this being said, let's move on"

These guys are horrible at timing...this would have went alot better last week...too many sound bytes "heck va job Brownie" being one..."what wasn't right?" another.

An apology followed up with the words "I will resign..." As Rummy would say "be a man, get yer balls outta your purse" do the right thing.

On edit...What apology? Taking partial responsibity, wishful thinking on my part. I would actually believe the Rapture is about to take place and seeing Jesus in the clouds would force an apology from *'s lips.
