I'm Sorry

Susan Olasky of World Magazine Blog reports...

Doug Wead's public apology for taping conversations with then-governor Bush without his knowledge is a model for other public figures who do wrong.
I was foolish and wrong to tape-record Mr. Bush without his permission. I was wrong to play any part of the tapes for my publisher, regardless of the circumstances. I was wrong to play any part of them for a journalist. I apologized to the president before the story appeared and again afterward. He has been typically patient, in spite of the personal hurt.
Today, the work of reparation has begun.
  • My book promotion has been canceled.

  • Future royalties from the book have been assigned to charity.

  • The hours of tapes, which prompted offers of millions of dollars, have been turned over to the president.

  • The work of rebuilding relationships, with God, the president and friends, has begun. If I could live my life over again, there are many things I would do differently. I cannot undo the hurt I have caused but I can, with God's help, take the heat I deserve and move on.


My faith in mankind has been rekindled.

George Will "dresses down Supreme Court Justice"

I love to read the World Magazine Blog. Today's postings describes how George Will literally calls Supreme Court Justice Kennedy incompetent. George Will writes "His opinion is an intellectual train wreck". To see the post.
