Okay. Let's have some apologies. [View all]

Al was big enough to apologize when he wasn't quite sure what he might have done, but he never thought a woman would sell out other women by lying her ass off to accuse him if she didn't feel really hurt. But she did lie. She screwed women by showing that at least one republican woman would lie about abuse. We now know she lied about how she was offended by the lewdness and about the timeline of the photo.

Now will the jerks in congress who were excoriating Al apologize - both to Al and to the public?

And will we see any of the journalists who demanded a resignation - before there was any chance for rebuttal or research into the veracity of a corporate, faux-backed mouthpiece for the republican party? Marcotte?

And some of the threads on DU? Hmmmm? Anybody willing to admit to being snowed and duped? Let's see.
