How To Apologize

Anyone surprised that the best example is provided by a man of the Right?

Robert Novak apologized Friday for swearing on the air and walking off a CNN set, but said it had nothing to do with the federal probe sparked by his revelation of a CIA officer's name in a 2003 column.

"I apologize for my conduct and I'm sorry I did it," he said in an interview.

CNN has pulled him off the air indefinitely. Novak said "I'll follow their guidance" on when he returns.

No weasel-wording. No spin. No attempts to diminish his conduct.

This is how a man apologizes.
