Okay, we cats have had enough of the "I'm sorry to anyone who may have been offended" crap.
Now, it's White House adviser Valerie Jarrett who has done the dirty deed. It just goes to show you that Democrats can be as guilty of this idiocy as Republicans (and Rick Sanchez) are.
After implying in an interview that sexual orientation was "a lifestyle choice," Ms. Jarrett issued an otherwise eloquent mea culpa that she e-mailed to The Washington Post. "I meant no disrespect to the LGBT community," she said, "and I apologize to any who have taken offense at my poor choice of words."
Aaaaarrrrggghh. We cats wish we'd been present to jump on Ms. Jarrett's keyboard when she typed that statement. But since we weren't, allow us to fix it.
"I meant no disrespect to the LGBT community, and I apologize."
See how easy that is?
UPDATE: Oops, the Republicans have just eclipsed Valerie in this department. The NRSC has fired its media company over the West Virginia "hicky" commercial with the following statement: "We apologize to any West Virginia voter who may have been offended by this firm's actions." First, we cats find it unsurprising that a company hired by Republicans would insult those they're trying to manipulate. Second, it's a heck of a lot simpler just to say "We apologize to the voters of West Virginia." What is so difficult about this, people?
