Allen Apologies To S.R. Sidarth
Hours before President Bush was scheduled to attend a fundraiser in his honor, Sen. George Allen telephoned Democratic video tracker S.R. Sidarth to apologize.
The news was buried at the bottom of a press release issued by James Webb's campaign.
Wed, Aug. 23: Twelve Days Later, After Numerous Excuses and Apologies to Everyone But Sidarth, Senator Allen Calls S.R. Sidarth to Apologize. [Phone call, 8/23/06]
This is crap. This kid does not want an apology. The Liberals are running with this. I know. Sidarth is my bosses sisters son. He likes the celebrity attention he is getting.
He was going to apologize at his next public appearance last week, but the Webb campaign stopped sending Siddarth to film him so Allen couldn't apologize in person.
They will probably still complain that it wasn't "in person". Even though if Siddarth had gone up after the meeting and said "Senator Allen, your words insulted me", I bet Allen would have apologized right then and there.
Of course, at THAT time the kid didn't know he was insulted yet, because at that time the campaign strategy was to claim that Allen called him out because he was the only person of color in the room (even though there were OTHER people of color in the room, another media lie). It wasn't until the tape-review people got around to listening to the tape and using google that they figured out this additional "offense".
