1. "I'm sorry you're too stupid to understand what I said" is not an apology.
And "I'm sorry some other people were also too stupid to understand what I said" is also not an apology.

"I'm sorry I said something so stupid" -- THAT would have been an apology.

4. How were we supposed to take the funeral music???
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 01:55 PM by Doc Martin
Sorry that "some took my comments as antigay and insensitive." So, tell me how they were intended to be taken?

This is not an apology.... "Some took" Where is that famous Republican personal responsibility and accountability?????

Fire him!

6. Gibson is scum indeed and so is Foxx so called-news
Just one more reason I don't watch Foxx. This putrid ignoramous Gibson should be put out of business.

9. His original bumbling earned him a
'Worst person in the World' nod - this should score a runner-up position

10. He speaks the truth...
He must have been afraid of an Imus fallout. Since he is not O'Reilly, he can't expect FOX to cover his ass.
So, I'm sure he is sorry that "people were offended"

What he said: I'm sorry you were offended by what I said.
What he SHOULD have said: I'm sorry that what I said was offensive.
