What Bill Maher Said

Writing in an op-ed piece in the New York Times, comedian Bill Maher opined:

"This week, Robert De Niro made a joke about first ladies, and Newt Gingrich said it was 'inexcusable and the president should apologize for him.' Of course, if something is 'inexcusable,' an apology doesn’t make any difference, but then again, neither does Newt Gingrich."

Exactly. Never play the third party apology game with right-wingers; they're not serious about it and they only see it as a political cudgel.
