I want the khazer to apologize in Yiddish. You know, the language he SAID he was referring to originally.

I'd like to commend you for taking the higher road here and not immediately checking yourself into "rehab". While I don't agree with your politics, I still can recognize the attempt to repair what damage you've done. At the same time, I wish we could go back a few years and return to a time when appologizing for what we meant wasn't necissary. Maybe some of you who choose to criticize his grammar missed it because you were shit talking the cpu monitor instead of reading what he was saying. He made a point to say that he was <strong>taking </strong>Spanish <strong>lessons</strong>. Never did he claim to be fluent in the language! Cut the guy a little bit of slack here...he's taking credit for his actions. What more do you want? First off, Good for you Newt!

Problem is he's only making this point respectfully this time around cuz people heard his last comment and caught onto the fact that he's a racist prick. With this comment I absolutely agree.

Let's not ever let anyone forget it. This weasel is trying to get into the '08 race through a side door. That's why he made his well publicized 'confession' to Dobson. Throw him in a cell with Haggard & Foley; they deserve each other. This is the ‘Grinches’ Mucaca.

Why is he apologising now, if he didn't say what we all thought he'd said, but something different altogether? Is he apologising to Hispanics because the put down was meant for someone else? Or is he apologising because we misunderstood the way his explanation was misinterpreted and he actually wanted to insult both communities? Ugh, my head hurts....

Perhaps he meant ghetto landlord. I thought the first rule of politics was when you'd dug a hole, stop digging. I guess that neither Mr. Bush nor Mr. Gingrich much believe in rules.
