The phrase "Sorry about that" came into use before and during the time that William Ayers, aka the English professor and friend of Hussein that never spoke to him, was a member of the Weather Underground.
In 1970 the group issued a "Declaration of a State of War" against the United States government, under the name "Weather Underground Organization" (WUO), and members adopted fake identities and pursued violent covert activities. They carried out a domestic terror campaign in the United States, consisting of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots. Their attacks were mostly bombings of government buildings between 1969 and 1975, although they were also notable for the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion which claimed the lives of three of their own members in 1970.
The meaning of the phrase was basically an acknowledgement of a complaint/problem/situation but without sympathy. As essentially black humor it was widely favored by the military. But I digress.
The question that rises to the surface of the bubbling pot of nonsense that is Hussein's campaign is why Hussein would have anything to do with him. As someone who has received all that America has to give, why wouldn't Hussein shun a person who attacked the country?
The answer is in doubt. We know that when it comes to people attacking the country, the Reverend Wright for instance, he has said that he condemns the attacks, but not the man. What does it take for him to condemn the acts and the man?
The question is further highlighted when we view the video of him declaring that he won't wear "that pin" on his lapel. The pin in question, of course, being a US flag pin. Said flag, of course, flies over the graves of thousands of dead soldiers, sailors and airmen who died so that A MAN WHO WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT can not wear it. Instead he is mouthing nonsense that he wants to convince us he is a patriot.
Yesterday on ABC's "This Week," John McCain said he was sure that Hussein was "very patriotic." I don't believe he is.
I think McCain is sometimes too kind. I'm not.
Sorry about that.
