Note to Democrats

Never apologize; never explain. Jay Rockefeller apologized to Senator McCain for accusing him of viewing people with the same distance that he did as a fighter pilot. Is there any doubt that what he said is true--after all, McCain votes no again and again on potential laws that would help people. Do the Repugs ever apologize for any scurrilous thing they accuse Dems of? What is this apology thing? Just to prove that the Dems are craven wussies? I DO NOT get it.
