Yup. Not as if he failed to wear an American Flag pin on his lapel.
The Guardian here (as well as cheerfully printing "pussy" and "fuck"
unasterisked) published a full transcript of his (two?) apologies -- truly
jaw-dropping.
I found the apologies more unnerving than the original (linguistically) banal
material -- he *knew* he was saying that, and that people would be watching?
Huh ....
Still, for what it's worth, it's given a few more upper-echelon Elephants an
excuse to desert the drowning rat.
I'm reminded of Robert Henryson's fable of "The Puddock and the Mouse".
