It seems that every few months, another multi-term politician is apologizing and stepping down from office, or, in the case of a Congressman who sought homosexual encounters in airport men’s rooms, promising to step down, but lying about that, as well.
The latest politician caught in the adulterous web is the six-term Rep. Vito Fossella (R-NY), who was nabbed by police in Alexandria, Virginia, just after midnight on May 1.

Words. Nothing but words is what it comes down to from U.S. Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) who is cheering about the U.S. Senate passing an apology, tacked on to the Indian Health Bill, that was approved last week.
Mere words, nothing else, yet Brownback thinks the forked tongue the White Man, let alone politicians, are known to have, is going to help restore the relationship between the United States and Native Americans. Don’t make me laugh.

Well, as many people expected, the politicos running the State of New Jersey took the “forgive us” plunge by making an official proclamation to apologize for its history with slavery.
Sure, New Jersey did many stupid things in its history, including standing against the Emancipation Proclamation, as well as being the last state in the United States to abolish slavery, but this apology — for something more than 143 years old — is loonier than Looney Tunes.
