Really? Then Y did he apologize ??

It wasn't a real apology to begin with, just one of those non-apology apologies. Here is how Reuters cites it:

Reuters wrote:
"The thought of the leaders of both parties jukin and high fiven on a golf course, while so many families are struggling to get by simply made me boil over and make a dumb statement, and I am very sorry if it offended anyone," he wrote. (Emphasis added---T.)

Thank u, Thomas.
He appears to be a very emotional fellow.
He appears to have 2 points in mind:
1. that it is false and implausible for leaders to discuss things
if their opinions are too far apart
and
2. that thay shoud not play golf, because the economy is in trouble.
Instead, thay shoud be working, because of the suffering of families
and thay shoud not stop working until all the families r happy again.
(What work that IS, remains unclear.)

I don 't believe that makes much sense.
I wonder Y thay consulted his political opinions;
maybe thay believe that he is influential with red-neck voters ??

Reading between the lines of another paragraph in the article, I'm guessing that royalty payments from ESPN might have motivated Williams to apologize (kind of).

Reuters wrote:
After his "All My Rowdy Friends" song was yanked from the "Monday Night Football" opening by ESPN later that day, Williams issued a statement acknowledging that his "analogy was extreme" but insisting it was intended to illustrate how ludicrous he thought it was for Obama and Boehner to team up at golf. (Emphasis added---T.)

And, just to recall what we're talking about, here is the original offense:

He fails to give the impression of being a man of wisdom.
I suspect that if he had been probed concerning Y
he likes Cain, he 'd have embarrassed himself, for lack of a reason.

Thanx for the video, Thomas.

I remain at a loss to understand Y anyone shoud apologize for saying that people of very different opinions,
are unlikely to play golf together. He did not allege that obama & hitler did anything similarly.

I agree with you, Dave.
I wish u woudn 't say that, J.
Its embarrassing to have crazy people agree with me.




JTT wrote:
There are many things where he could have made a legitimate comparison between Hitler and Obama, for example,
he could have noted that Obama has continued the two illegal invasions
Just out of idle curiosity, J, WHAT do u believe was "llegal" about them?
In other words, what law did thay violate?

@Thomas,
His comment that he did not go to Princeton thus does not know the difference between Hitler and Stalin should have been a clue that he does not intend to give the impression that he is book smart. I do think however that Williams believes that he is common sense wise. These days proving that one is not highly educated is almost a requirment in laying down street cred as a man of the people, given how disreputable the elites now are.

That is the essence of the insanity defense; mental incompetence.

Does this imply that Stalin or Pol Pot were better than Hitler???

I'm just glad he didn't compare Obama and Boehner to cats and dogs. Comparing Obama to Hilter is one thing, but no one should be compared to a cat and I have a dog and I can tell you that Boehner is no dog.
