Concentrating on Michelle Wolf Gives a Pass to All the Other Ds Who Need To Apologize!

Don’t people realize that having a new Democratic “they need to apologize” scandal each day has the effect of knocking yesterday’s “they need to apologize” scandal off the TV machines and out of the news cycle?

Looks like the “Joy Reid needs to apologize” scandal has already lost its place as this week’s need-to-apologize scandal. Five years ago such a scandal would have occupied the media for weeks, maybe months. Now, it’s forgotten the minute a different D says something apology worthy. And these days, it seems that every word uttered by a D offends someone and demands an apology.

We Ds are really shooting ourselves in the foot by not controlling our messengers. Maybe we need to issue a blanket apology apologizing for being Ds. Sort of like Satan issuing an apology for being evil.

If there’s one thing the deplorables respect about progressives it's the fact that we are willing to stick our tails between our legs and flee the debate as soon as a R demands we apologize. The proof is in all those elections we win in the red states.

There are no sweeter words in the political spectrum than “apology accepted. Now, you need to resign to prove you meant it.”
