Vitter apologizes to Maddow

* Senator David Vitter is apologizing to Rachel Maddow for suggesting she only looked like a woman "a long time ago." http://voices.washingtonpost.com/plum-line/2010/07/david_vitter_suggests_rachel_m_1.html Vitter's office sends over the note of apology he's written to the talk show host:

Dear Rachel,

Regarding my remark during a radio conversation today, I apologize.

The hosts made their comment and I obviously chimed in. While we do not usually agree on the issues, I do not think you deserved that comment.

Sincerely,

David

3. She should bring up his use of prostitutes and then apologize ...
to his wife for mentioning it again.

She should go on to say that the voters should not spend much time considering that issue when they consider voting for him.

And she should make this same apology about every 2-3 weeks.

Of course she won't do it. But Keith would. :evilgrin:

5. "Sincerely, David" -- like they're pals or something. Well at least he did that -
many wouldn't have. But I still loathe him.

6. Cheap and disrespectful
He should be the last one making cracks about anyone, the diaper thing leaves him no room to do that.

7. Better than the usual "sorry if you were offended" non-apology
Perhaps he took a look at his glass house.

8. He is scum. The strange thing is.....
I think most people would find Maddow attractive (even Repukes).

I don't think Vitter even finds her unattractive... I think his comments were made soley because she is a lesbian.





:puke: for Vitter


:loveya: for Maddow

10. The apology is no better than the comment.
The issue is not about whether somebody "deserved" the comment. He's not the arbiter of who does or does not "deserve" the comment. It's and offensive stupid comment that would not be "deserved" by anybody.

What an ass.

13. Color me shocked
The apology is an actual apology, not one of the "sorry if you were offended" variety. And while it would be best to apologize in the same manner and similar forum in which the original insult was made, I'm sure that Ms. Maddow will accept the apology with a good grace, because she's far classier than I.

23. Hope KO is on tonight - this ought to be good
As I said in another post I thik KO thinks of himself like Rachel's big brother and mentor.

I expect Rachel will not comment. Be interesting if she does.
