Turn Turn Turn
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep*
And a time to apologize.
Hugh Hewitt points out Senator Kerry's invocation of Mary Cheney in last night's debate and calls it not only a big political blunder but a demonstration of terrible taste as well. He is calling on John Kerry to apologize:
A simple apology from Kerry (and Cahill and Elizabeth Edwards) will quell the controversy, and it is owed.
I agree. But I have never heard John Kerry apologize. Not to the Vietnam Vets he slandered in 1971. Not to the Secret Service and other aids he belittles all too frequently. Not to the Coalition of the Willing he denigrates with words like "coerced" and "bribed".
I predict that The Man Who Would Be King will not apologise to Mary Cheney.
*Look here (or perhaps here) for the rest of the words.
Apologize for giving a compliment? What kind of Orwellian world do you live in? Read the remarks. Maybe Bush should apologize to Kerry for mentioning his daughters at the prior debate. Or should Kerry also apologize for saying the first lady is great?
As for Kerry's 1971 stance on the war, the facts back him up, and he should be proud of it.
There is a reason for called the "coalition" coerced and the bribed. Panama did not join unless they got body armor for their troops, and it was taken away from US soldiers to give to them.
