The most recent non-apology apology

[Joel S. Berson]

George Zimmerman on Fox News (yesterday?):

"I am sorry that they buried their child."

Some reports say Zimmerman said that he's sorry that they *had to*
bury their child.  Even more of a (speaking figuratively) passive
voice non-apology.  I am unable due to computer inadequacy to check
the actual audio from the Fox News interview.

But he doesn't regret having gotten out of his car or having killing
Trayvon Martin.  It was God's will.

Joel
