A week after claiming that liberals responded inappropriately to the 9/11 attacks, deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove apologized at an emotion-filled Rose Garden press conference.
“Some may believe that my remarks crossed the line,” said the man the president affectionately calls “Turd Blossom," biting his lip and fighting back tears. “To them I extend my heartfelt apologies."
Rove said that while he actually did mean to exploit the 9/11 attacks for “political, opportunistic purposes," just as his critics have claimed, and wasn’t really sorry that he had done so, he decided to apologize because “everyone else was doing it… and I didn’t want to be left out -- like I always was in high school.”
