I owe Joe Scarborough an apology, mea culpa

Today while watching Morning Joe this morning he brought up the Clinton record on taxes and I put out the following tweet:

A few minutes later he mentioned how the GOP congress moved Clinton, but at the same time I noticed that my youngest had not come down for his bus, had to get him up and running. He ended up missing the bus so I had to get dressed and get him to school. On the way home I stopped at Moran Square diner (ironic as Barnicle has mentioned it more than once) had breakfast and came back home about an hour after I left totally forgetting about the tweet.

A few min ago Joe sent this tweet.

It had been several hours later so I didn’t remember what he was talking about, but after seeing the tweet and remembering he had a real point so I tweeted the following:

Normally that would do but it occurs to me the tweet was up for 4 hours uncorrected. As it was not put up in error deleting it would be altering the record and the simply mea culpa tweet is in my opinion an insufficient apology so Joe I put this post up as a formal apology and correction that you deserve and honor demands beyond a simple tweet.

My bad.

Update: Maybe Meghan McCain can use this post as a template for a bad tweet.

We got a robocall yesterday informing us that starting Oct 1 kids will no longer be allowed on the morning bus unless they show a $25 a month bus pass.

With week 99 (nov 3) nearly upon us I guess that means I’ll be missing at least 45 minutes of morning joe each day starting next week.

Different individuals have different expertise, I don’t know if Stephen Colbert has any more specific information about illegal immigration than anyone else, but I do know this.

If you are going to testify on the people’s dime in the people’s house it is not meant to be a publicity stunt done in character.

But clown Colbert’s Democrat enablers aren’t interested in serious debate. They’re interested in promoting illegal alien amnesty by any means necessary — even it means turning a House hearing into a Comedy Central stage.

If democrats want to know why they are heading for the defeat they are, it’s because they have the same respect for the voter as they do for the people’s house.

Headlines I’d like to see…

Seeing this story”

Feminist group demands Reid apologize for calling Gillibrand ‘hottest’ senator

And this story

Katy Perry’s Sesame Street Segment Cut Over Her Cleavage

Make me want to see the following headline

Feminist group demands apology from Elmo for “nice ta-tas” remark to Katy Perry.

If I don’t see this at either scrappleface or the Onion I will be very surprised.

Update: This one at hot air is pretty good too: This episode brought to you by the letters T & A.

Can’t the top just be digitally altered?
