They came, they saw, they sucked up. From Yahoo / AP:
Three Democrats apologized to the NAACP convention Thursday for bypassing a presidential forum in a political act of contrition.I also found this interesting:Joe Lieberman, Dick Gephardt and Dennis Kucinich rearranged their campaign schedules to appear before the NAACP gathering and say they were sorry. The three White House hopefuls had drawn the wrath of the nation's oldest civil rights group when then skipped Monday's forum, earning the description "persona non grata" from the NAACP leader.
Kucinich talked about his opposition to the war in Iraq and the nation's economic woes. Then the moderator goaded him into offering an official apology, saying: "We have heard the explanation, does the congressman need to say something else?"Uhhhh ... yeah.Replied Kucinich: "I'm very sorry I wasn't able to be here, amazing grace, how sweet it is, once was lost, now I'm found."
Isn't this what's called, "Kissing ass for votes?"
The only thing worse than kissing ass for votes is probably finding out later that one of your opponents got the NAACP votes and all that humiliating public butt munching was for nothing....
lol. and if they were to take office, how much apologizing will they do to the likes of France, Germany, Russia, Belgium, Iraq... for some perceived past offenses?
