So retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens has said that he is sorry for casting his vote in 1976 to restore the death penalty.
Sweet.
In 1991, a dying Lee Atwater apologized for his disgraceful playing of the race card against Michael Dukakis by dreaming up the Willie Horton attack ad.
In 1995, Robert McNamara apologized for causing the death of millions by his dishonest prosecution of the Vietnam War.
In his latter years, Robert Byrd apologized repeatedly for his nakedly racist filibustering of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
In an interview given to GQ in 2007, Colin Powell apologized for his shameless lying at the United Nations in 2003 as he attempted to justify the mass murder about to be unleashed in Iraq.
Congratulations, Justice Stevens, you have just joined a select group:
Men whose apologies should never, ever be accepted.
Don't kid yourself... They knew what they were doing.
