Then what?
Maybe we’ll apologize to Bernie Madoff – Sorry we crashed the party, Bernie
How about a mea culpa to Lehmann Brothers. We apologize guys. We shoulda bailed you out too.
While we’re at it, we’re sorry you folks at AIG have had such a tough time of it. Anything we can do to help, just call.
You too, Skilling and the rest of the gang at Enron.
Oh hey, and England: We’re sorry about that World Cup goal. We didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.
In fact, we’re sorry about all that stuff: The War of 1812 -- and that tea party business a few years ago. Mea culpa King George. Really, are we ever sorry.
On behalf of Congressman Barton and the Republicans, please accept our sincerest apologies.
