Semantics, or "I'm sorry for your loss."

Have you said that, at a wake or funeral? "I'm sorry for your loss." Did you think you were apologizing for causing the death? Nope, it's just a folksy saying, a way of reaching people in their grief, a simple way of expressing condolences.

But Glenn "to everything: spin, spin, spin" Reynolds just can't seem to resist...

Somehow, when the MSM reports:

With about 150 supporters crowded around a podium set up on the tarmac of Orlando Executive airport (and about 20 Ron Paul supporters waving signs outside) Mike Huckabee strode out to the strains of “Right Now” by Van Halen and immediately addressed the Bhutto situation, expressing “our sincere concern and apologies for what has happened in Pakistan.”

...the Tennesee law professor would have you believe Huckabee is confessing to some nefarious plot by Americans. Geez, does the guy ever get off the computer and listen to how real folks speak?

Ask yourself Mr. Reynolds:
Isn't there enough honest criticism for the candidate that you don't have to go spinning pitifully,
"And Huckabee apologizes. Apologizes? Jeez, he is Jimmy Carter."


Doesn't he get that simp misrepresentations like that which he trades in daily as the Instaputz are exactly what makes Huckabee a more appealing candy-date?

Doy-yay!, as the kids used to say... (before they became sophisticated enough to label such spin as "intellectually dishonest". Glenn: just how stupid do you think Americans are?)
