Ex-Dem Chair Apologizes for Hurricane Remark
August 31, 2008 5:55 PM
ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: Former DNC Chairman Don Fowler apologized on Sunday for joking in a private conversation that the timing of Hurricane Gustav demonstrates that God is on the side of the Democrats.
"If this offended anybody, I personally apologize," Fowler told ABC News. "It was a mistake, and it was a satirical statement made in jest. And one that I clearly don't believe."

It was a mistake, and it was a satirical statement made in jest.
How do we know that you're not making a satirical statement in jest now?
To: Sub-Driver
Not good enough. He needs to go through sensitivity training...

Fowler saying his statement was something he doesn’t believe has the same amount of credibility as Bill Clinton’s asserting in his speech on Thursday that “Barack Obama is ready to be President” (after months of saying the opposite).
To: Sub-Driver
And one that I clearly don't believe.
Which part don't you believe? That there's a God in Heaven, or that He's on the side of Democrats?
To: Sub-Driver
"
IF this offended anybody ..."
Sorry, but when making an apology, that is where the director yells CUT!

"If this offended anybody, I personally apologize," The Lying Liberals talk about accountability, yet once again it's a weasle apology..."If this..." Fowler you clown, the reason you're on the carpet is that you DID offend people.

Fowler said his remark was "facetious" and a "satirical comment" on the late Rev. Jerry Falwell.Off the record, Fowler was surreptiously taped saying,
"Jaysoos, keerist, it took my friggin' staff 4 hours to find me that excuse".

"If this offended anybody, I personally apologize," Non apology. He's lying. He meant it. The "if", easy as it is to spot, is difficult to avoid when one is trying to mislead. Were he to really apologize - really be sorry - he would say I personally apologize for saying it...." He didn't. He's lying.
