Democrat leader apologizes for hurricane comment

Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Don Fowler apologized for saying “the timing of Hurricane Gustav demonstrates that God is on the side of the Democrats.”

“If this offended anybody, I personally apologize," Fowler told ABC News. "It was a mistake, and it was a satirical statement made in jest. And one that I clearly don't believe."

The insincerity of his apology can be measured by his additional coment, "One doesn't anticipate that one's private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase."

So there you have it: a “right-wing nutcase” filming a “left-wing nutcase” expressing his true feelings.

Was the apology sincere or was he sorry that he was filmed making the statement?
