An all-purpose apology
Ready? Bring in the media

William Falk

Editor or "The Week"

Since political sex scandals now erupt every few months, I am offering, as a public service, the following all-purpose apology, to be clipped and saved for those occasions when lies will no longer do. I have helpfully provided some alternative phrasing that should cover virtually any circumstance. Ready? Bring in the media.

Some time ago, I suffered a severe lapse of judgment that led me to:
(a) have an inappropriate relationship with an intern who said I was "hot"

(b) tickle hunky young members of my staff until they cried 

(c) take a wide stance 

(d) impregnate our nanny

For this, I take full responsibility, and apologize to:
(a) my wife 

(b) my children (both legitimate and out of wedlock)

(c) my constituents

(d) and all Americans, living and dead

I am not resigning at this time, until I see what hard evidence turns up, but I do take full responsibility for:
(a) my sins

(b) my sex addiction

(c) being such an incredible effing moron

I am now:
(a) checking into a cushy rehab in Malibu

(b) embarking on a deeply spiritual journey of self-discovery and contrition

(c) arranging for a castration

(d) hiring the most ruthless lawyers and damage-control specialists I can find

While I do so, please respect my family’s privacy. It’s no excuse, but I engaged in this lapse of judgment because:
(a) when "Mr. Happy" becomes enthused, it cuts off blood flow to my brain

(b) I feel so passionately about my country that I needed to blow off some steam

(c) I have such great pecs

(d) I am a creepy old horndog

I take full responsibility for that. In conclusion, may I ask you to join me in praying for:
(a) my soul

(b) any woman who comes within 10 feet of me

(c) an even more lurid sex scandal, so that you’ll forget about this one

Thank you.

William Falk
