THE RIGHT WAY TO APOLOGIZE
I criticized Bob Novak’s behavior last night. Now, he deserves some praise. Here’s the latest AP dispatch on the B.S. brouhaha:
Robert Novak apologized Friday for swearing on the air and walking off a CNN set, but said it had nothing to do with the federal probe sparked by his revelation of a CIA officer’s name in a 2003 column.
“I apologize for my conduct and I’m sorry I did it,” he said in an interview.
Every political figure in Washington should commit the Novak apology to memory for future use–no ifs, ands, or buts. Contrast Novak’s unequivocal words of contrition with the sorry weasel non-apology apologies of Dick Durbin (also here),
Catherine Baker Knoll, Linda Foley, Jane Fonda, Kevin Shelley, and Armstrong Williams.
I’m sure you’ll remember many others.
