How many of you are tired of weak disingenuous apologizes? Take for instance the sorry from Elizabeth Lauten, the GOP staffer who criticized the Obama daughters for what they were wearing at the pardoning of the Thanksgiving turkey.
If the world had went along with her statements there would have never been a sorry and girlfriend would still have a job.
She was not sorry for what she said, she was sorry that the reaction to her words was not accepted by the masses. And I’m so sure she was really sorry that her attacking someone led to people digging up her background. That is the funny part; I wonder did she forget her shoplifting episode and that picture that was taken of her with the beer bottle in her mouth.
An apology never means much to me when it is forced. Remember when you were little and you did something that you were instructed not to do and then got caught? Your mom or dad would tell you to say you were sorry. Often little kids will just say the word “sorry.” Then they are instructed to say “I’m sorry” and they have to say it with emotion. That way we know you mean it. I always felt if I have to ask you to apologize then you don’t really mean it.
