That Senator's "Apology"

That Senator writes on his blog:

As a combat veteran, I want to make it clear to anyone in uniform and to their loved ones: my poorly stated joke at a rally was not about, and never intended to refer to any troop.

I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform, and I personally apologize to any service member, family member, or American who was offended.

It is clear the Republican Party would rather talk about anything but their failed security policy. I don’t want my verbal slip to be a diversion from the real issues. I will continue to fight for a change of course to provide real security for our country, and a winning strategy for our troops.

Look more closely... That Senator does not apologize for his mistake. He apologizes that other people, he suggests, misinterpreted his words. This is nothing but a wannabe elitist trick to fool the people into believing that he has made an appropriate apology.

Guess what, Senator. One of the dumb ass troops you refered to has your number and sees right through your apology tripe.

Apology not accepted, asshole. This is nothing but a lame-assed attempt to put the blame on others while ignoring your own wrong doing. That you still think we're too stupid to see through that further solidifies what you think of us.

Fortunately, for us, our morale does not hinge on the actions and opinions of dolts like you and your apologists.

That Senator's blog is DELETING comments critical of what he said about us troops.

And here... I thought "to criticize" was not only our Right, but Patriotic. Now, That Senator's blog policy does not support our Rights and Patriotism either?!

Are you kidding me?!

My comments left on That Senator's blog (and surely, soon to be deleted along with the others) are as follows:

Retired LTG Kennedy and That Senator speak NOT for me,
nor most of my brothers and sisters-in-arms.

That Senator didn't stumble on his words, nor did he "botch" a
joke. That's tripe. Nothing more, nothing less. He said what he meant
and he meant what he said.

This soldier doesn't demand That Senator's apology, NO... this Soldier demands his resignation.

Several service members are having to re-post their highly critical comments to That Senator's blog... further clarifying what they think about us service members.

Even his own party members are calling for him to apologize, but that's not good enough... That's right. I don't want an apology. I want his resignation. Nobody who thinks like Kerry has any business serving in a position of public trust, let alone the United States Senate!
