Blame the victim
This is an apology:
I did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong. I misled people, including even my wife. I deeply regret that. -Bill Clinton, 1998
This is not:
I have always been very passionate about politics and sports and this time it got the best or worst of me. Thought of the leaders of both parties jukin’ [sic] and high fiven’ [sic] on a golf course, while so many families are struggling to get by, simply made me boil over and make a dumb statement, and I am very sorry if it offended anyone. -Hank Williams Jr. on comparing President Obama to Hitler.




oy. Better if he just didn’t say anything.
Of course he’d be shocked to find that the word “jukin’” might have racist connotations.
Did you know that old Hank was thinking about running for public office in Tennessee? If this was how he was testing the water…Sheesh. What a dope.
