1. An apology should not be expected when one has spoken the truth.

Warner's out of line.

[Mythsaje]

2. You'll get an apology

as soon as you freaks apologize for putting our men and women (including National Guard troops who are desperately needed here for fire-fighting efforts, among other things) in harm's way based upon a lie.

Thank you,

The American Voter

3. Oh, cripes

John Warner's one of our Senators here in VA - the other is the headcase moran George Allen - and I just recently wondered if he was starting to lose it. He's getting up there in years, and last time I saw him on TV, he was starting to look a little dotty.

Yeah, those poor soldiers of ours in Iraq are "fighting for the safety of all of us here at home."

OK, he's officially dotty.

4. Durbin should stand firm in his refusal to apologize

for deliberate distortions of his words.

[Roland99]

5. They aren't fighting for *us*. They're fighting for *'s business buddies

6. Senator Warner, I demand you apologize for allowing Rev. Moon

to have a coronation ceremony in an office paid for with my tax dollars.

[reality based]

7. Wait until the next round of Abu Ghraib photos come out

and then talk to me about apologies. Maybe Durbin could then repeat verbatim his recent comments and stare hard at the former Mr Elizabeth Taylor.

8. I'll apologize as soon as Bush answers the DSM questions Conyers gave him

If I were "King" of the Democrats, that is what I would have him say.
