>"...any offense..."? Of course there was an "offense". See the uproar?
>"...might have caused..."? There is no "might". It did in fact cause a reaction.
>"...anyone..."? There were lots of people, Joe.
>A classic example of a non-apology. How about "I'm sorry for my remarks. They were hurtful and wrong. I apologize to the Senator and others who were offended. I truly regret the things I said. And, I have apologized personally to the Senator. Further, now I will go kneel at the altar in the Church of Charlie Rangel."
