he apologized in private, you have nothing to the contrary except your political hackery
i mean seriously, the dems are fucking desperate to focus on this
You are hell-bent on seeing what you want to see and ignoring the rest. This is from the link:
...[cheney]took responsibility for the shooting ("Ultimately, I am the guy who pulled the trigger . . . ") but offered no apologies.
But did Cheney ever say in private what he didn't say in public? Did he ever apologize?
Whittington, who has been talking about his life and career for hours, suddenly draws silent.
"I'm not going to go into that," he says sharply after a short pause.
Harry Whittington is too gracious to say it out loud, but he doesn't dispute the notion, either.
Nearly five years on, he's still waiting for Dick Cheney to say he's sorry.
cheney didn't do what any decent person would have done, what we all were taught to do if we were brought up right.
When you spill wine on your friend's sofa, you say "I'm sorry, have it cleaned and I'll reimburse you".
When your kid tears up the neighbor's flower bed playing baseball, he says "I'm sorry for not watching what I was doing" and the next day drops off some plants from the local garden center.
When you bump into someone on the sidewalk, causing their package to fall to the ground you say "I'm sorry, let me pick that up for you".
When you accidentally shoot somebody in the face at close range, causing them serious and lasting injury, you say
"I'm so, so sorry" and then you bend over backward to do whatever you can to make it up to the person.
Stating responsibility is not the same as offering apologies. cheney admitted to
drinking a beer at lunch despite everyone's attempts to deny there was any alcohol. Mr. Whittington states there was alcohol although he claims he didn't notice who was drinking. Then cheney waits 14 hours before coming clean. How convenient to let all that time elapse in the event a Breathalyzer test was requested.
Only a complete cheney apologist could read the facts and not see that something fishy was going on. The sole person in this sordid episode who had any honor was Mr. Whittington. I sure couldn't be as gracious as he was.
