When an apology is really an admission of mental illness...
From NY Daily News
Disgraced journalist Stephen Glass, fired from the New Republic in 1998 for telling tales taller than Jayson Blair's, is ...finally sending out letters of apology to his former editors.
In a note to Harper's editor Lewis Lapham in May, Glass wrote, "I often lied in vicious ways to belittle people, to promote myself and to help me pretend I was someone I was not. What I was, in fact, was someone who was angry and confused and scared and mean and lonely."
I could see Bush using this same template for his ultimate apology to the American people for his failed policies. Yes, I said that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. But you have to remember, I was someone who was angry and confused and scared and mean and lonely. And yes, I said that tax cuts for the wealthy would jump start the economy. But you see, I often lied in vicious ways to belittle people and to help me pretend I was someone I was not.
Well, you get the point.
