Thursday, June 30. 2005Rick supports veterans... this week at least.Wednesday, June 29. 2005Culture of life, huh?Rick clarifies Hitler remark Rick says Hitler comment was a joke So, by his own admission, what Rick said was that Democrats were doing something that not even Hitler would have had the audacity to do. Hmmmm, does that mean that he was really saying that Democrats were behaving worse than Adolf Hitler? Rick went on to tell Imus that he was just trying to make a joke. Somehow it must have gone over our heads. Watch the video. Rick's latest hypocrisy caught on tape Click to watch Rick on Imus Last Thursday, Rick made an appearance on "Imus in the Morning" to discuss whether Senator Dick Durbin had properly apologized for his recent remarks regarding possible prisoner abuse at Guantanamo Bay. In a stunning show of hypocrisy, Rick told Imus that Durbin had not apologized satisfactorily and used his own "apology" for his recent remarks comparing democrats to Hitler as an example of how to say you're sorry. “Mr. President, it is very clear that even though I thought I had said something that clarified the situation, to many people it was still unclear. I'm sorry if anything that I said caused any offense or pain to those who have such bitter memories of the Holocaust, the greatest moral tragedy of our time. Nothing, nothing should ever be said to demean or diminish that moral tragedy.” “I'm also sorry if anything I said in any way cast a negative light on our fine men and women in the military. I went to Iraq just a few months ago with Senator Harry Reid and a bipartisan Senate delegation. When you look in the eyes of the soldiers you see your son and daughter. They are the best. I never, ever intended any disrespect for them.” So how did Rick "apologize"? He released a statement to the media in which he said that his comment "was a mistake and I meant no offense." Which of these two statements seems like an honest, heartfelt apology to you? In the future, Rick might want to leave etiquette advice to Emily Post. A journey to the center of Rick's brain In case you missed it, last week Philadelphia Daily News columnist John Baer wrote an interesting piece entitled, A Look into Santorum's Brain. Here's an excerpt: Speaking of news, I also ask about a New York Times Magazine cover photo last month in which a smiling Santorum, hands folded, eyes heavenward, appears transfixed in prayer. "Yes," he says, he posed for it. Uh, what were you thinking, I ask? He says he was told to do something with his hands, then look here, look there, you know, like a kid at a K-Mart photo shoot following a stuffed toy in a photog's hand. That's his story. As you can see in the picture, I say he's practicing for his holy card. I'd remind you this is the same Senate leader who recently likened Democrats fighting to save the filibuster to Nazis, who once equated homosexuality with bestiality and who claimed the Catholic priest pedophile scandal in Boston should be no surprise since Boston is "a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America." In other words, Harvard, the Kennedys, Kerry and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts are to blame for priests preying on altar boys. Click here to read the entire column. |
