Allen apologizes for racist prickery.

So Senator George Allen (R-VA) publicly apologized to S.R. Sidarth, the 20-year old Democratic campaign staffer for his recent racial slurs:

“I take full responsibility. I’m not offering any excuses, because I said it and no one else said it. . . It’s a mistake. I apologize and from my heart, I’m very, very sorry for it.”

Blah, blah, blah. Later that day, Allen’s boy George W. headed a fundraiser for him. White House spokesperson Dana Perino said Bush didn’t hesitate to support Allen because, “Sen. Allen apologized, and I think it’s in everyone’s best interest … to accept apologies when they’re offered.â€?
That’s funny, I would think it’s in everyone’s best interest to not have a blatant racist in the U.S. Senate.
