Everyone makes mistakes. Not being able to admit them is a serious flaw.

None of us know what Hillary meant by her choice of words today; we can't presume to know her intent for saying what she did. It could be any of several reasons; the most harmless being that she just didn't think before she spoke.

She said them though and now she must deal with the ramifications. She must realize the distress that has occurred and that to salve the wound, an apology is necessary. Not some sort of explanation which places the onus on those who are offended and completely ignores her opponent, but a real apology - "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said what I did", or a simple "I screwed up". Or maybe she doesn't realize the ramifications.

We have seen this behavior in Hillary before, when she voted for the IWR. She continued to defend and justify her vote even after an apology was long overdue, years later. She simply could not bring herself to say she made a mistake and that was the biggest reason I couldn't support her. Not so much the vote, but how she dealt with it afterwards.

This behavior is similar to Bush's, who for 7 years has made terrible decision without any regard for their implications and has refused to admit his mistakes, the biggest being his invasion of Iraq.

If Hillary had come out afterwards and given a heartfelt apology, I'd be inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt. Since she hasn't, I am even more angered at her. Just more of the same.

This whole thing is so ugly and horrible. As much as I dislike her, I don't want to think she's sitting around hoping something might happen.

I think she is in her own Primary now?

It's bizarre a comment like that might be planned and encourage.

You'd think the "inexperienced" Obama would be fucking up right and left but Clinton has run a surprisingly tone-deaf campaign. What is the deal?
