1. Weasel

2. You can't unsay what you said.

Worm.

3. A Tweet doesn't count for a sincere apology

A personal phone call would be a good start.

On camera would be acceptable.

4. If his apology is sincere then I am a marathon runner

[get the red out]

5. He screwed up and showed his ass

Which is obviously the major part of his body.

6. That wasn't getting any better with delay--it had to KILL him to spit out those words.

You've got to ask yourself, "How fucking stupid is this guy?" though, that he even SAID THOSE WORDS.

It's not just the racism--though that's a big piece of it--but the rank stupidity.

If someone tells me that their family has a history of military service going back to the American Revolution, I believe them. I don't question their racial background. First, it's easily checked, so only a hit-and-run idiot is going to lie about that kind of thing. Second, we're a very swirly nation nowadays. You can look like Mao and be related to Washington--you don't have to wear a bad wig and have wooden teeth!

7. Too little, too late, Kirk. Your 'apology' smacks of political expediency. Sorry. No sale. eom

8. Mark Kirk recently had a stroke. That can lead to impulsive speech/behavior

Frontal lobe damage in particular can lead you to blurt out what you really think, however outrageous.

So now we can hear the REAL Mark Kirk talking.

10. Makes you wonder about Der Trumpenfuhrer . . .

Of course, he's always openly been an asshole, so maybe no medical emergency was even necessary.

9. I guess when you call your opponent a half-breed and then a hero, you're probably losing

Same guy who called Lindsey Graham "a bro with no ho."
