I’m Sorry
By Jim Lynch on Dec 13, 2007 in 2008, Politics
That I was such a fool
I didn’t know
Campaigns could be so cruel
Oh oh oh oh uh-oh oh yes
You tell me mistakes
Are part of leading the polls
But that don’t right
The wrong that’s been done
(I’m sorry) I’m sorry
(So sorry) So sorry
Please accept my apology
But voters aren’t blind
As I was to blind to see.
Oh oh oh oh uh-oh oh yes
You tell me mistakes
Are part of leading the polls
But that don’t right
The wrong that’s been done
Oh oh oh oh uh-oh oh yes
I’m sorry, so sorry
Please accept my apology
But voters aren’t blind
And I was too blind to see
Sorry
Ahh, the spirit of apologies are in the air. As Jay notes at Stop The ACLU:
Well, first we had Huckabee apologizing to Mitt over religion, then Hillary apologizing to Obama over drug use. It seems to be a political trend this season.
The best, however, has to be Fred Thompson apologizing to Mike Huckabee:
In light of Mike Huckabee’s heartfelt apology to Mitt Romney for making reference to Romney’s religion in the New York Times Magazine, we at the Thompson Campaign would like to offer Huckabee our own heartfelt apologies for some references we’ve made about his record as Governor of Arkansas.
We apologize for pointing out that as Governor of Arkansas, Huckabee offered in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. That’s something he’d probably just as soon no one talk about.
A recent Washington Post-ABC News Iowa poll of Iowans likely to vote in the Republican caucus stated illegal immigration as their top issue of concern, tied with the war in Iraq.
We apologize for pointing out that in 2002 Huckabee wrote Pres. Bush a letter asking him to lift the Cuban embargo. It’s easy to see how Huckabee might have missed the finer points of a 40-year embargo. While he obviously knew enough about the embargo to ask that it be lifted, Huckabee clearly didn’t know enough to ask that it not be lifted. So for that, we’re sorry.
In 2002, Governor Huckabee strongly advocated lifting the embargo against Cuba saying it “harm[s] our own agricultural and business interests,” “has not helped the people of Cuba” and has “provided Castro with a convenient excuse for his own failed system of government.” (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 3/29/02)
Do read the whole thing.
And while we’re at it — Brenda Lee, I’m Sorry.
