Apology Accepted, When You’re a Democrat by Christian Toto Jamie Foxx is really, really sorry he said some horrible things about pop princess Miley Cyrus. He did so on “The Tonight Show” last night while host Jay Leno meekly set up his apology. And that will most likely be that. The same thing happened when President Barack Obama made an ugly crack about Special Olympics athletes on the very same “Tonight Show” venue. One apology later, all is forgiven. I bet Don Imus wishes he got treated the same way. Or former Virginia Sen. George Allen, whose off-hand “Macaca” reference likely cost him re-election three years ago. The Washington Post kept finding new ways to spin the Macaca story line during the final weeks before the election. When a figure on the left says something hurtful, or hateful, all that’s needed is a quick apology. Heck the press will just call it a gaffe and move on. But should Sen. Trent Lott mispeak during a celebration for an aged senator, well, no apology tour is enough to save himself.
