Here's how a real politician spins his bad behavior: sfgate.com Filner: 'Regret' for Airport Incident By ERICA WERNER, Associated Press Writer Rep. Bob Filner said Wednesday he regrets a recent incident at Dulles Airport in which he allegedly pushed a United Airlines baggage employee, resulting in assault and battery charges. Filner, D-Calif., offered few details of the Aug. 19 incident in a three-sentence statement issued after he returned from a week in Iraq. "I was tired after a delayed flight and frustrated by the subsequent further delay of the entire flight's baggage. But I did not want things to turn out as they did, with offense obviously taken and much misunderstanding," the statement said. "This is an episode that I regret and hope to move beyond." I bet he does.
