1. Well, "You know, I owe you an apology"....it's sort of implied

nt

[senseandsensibility]

5. half-hearted, better than nothing

I still think he should never have made the comment, and would never have said anything so out of bounds about a repuke, even if it were TRUE.

2. He says "You know, I owe you an apology."

That's an apology.

[Lusted4]

7. And he'll keep on owing. n/t

[saltpoint]

11. No, he won't. Lamont accepted the apology.

3. Baby steps Grasshopper. Baby steps.

4. "I owe you an apology." I heard it. It's there.

A classy turn for Chuck Roberts.

6. Yes it is and it should he should receive recognition for it. Every crazy

left winger blogger I have seen posting about have gone out of their way not to further attack Roberts or just post the link without comment. You think Roberts would get the same treatment if this was a RW issue.

12. Yes. Roberts behaved like a grown-up, unlike a certain White House

occupant I could name, especially on the subject of smearing people.

Yes, George, I mean you, you soulless creep.

8. Lukewarm, but a mild apology nonetheless.

It's startling to hear the word "apology" from ANY irritainment provider, especially a Bush butt-kisser, let alone an actual "I'm sorry".

Incremental but significant.

9. Yes, he said he owes an apology and goes on to say why

That's the full mea culpa afaic.

[Cocoa]

10. yes, that's an apology

If you want to stay mad, you're going to have to go on to say the apology is not good enough, or that it wasn't sincere, or that it won't undo the damage he's done, etc.

But you can't deny it's an apology.

13. Wait, Seriously? If This Can't Pass As An Apology Then Lord Knows What

does.

I think he did the absolutely honorable and respectful thing and deserves to be commended for it.

Man, some people are just never satisfied.... Sheesh...

[breakaleg]

14. that sounded like an apology to me.

[lonestarnot]

15. ROBERTS SUCKS ASS!

17. "For Mother it is"

Sorry, I couldn't resist. That is an old line from "Bewitched".
