He's personally apologizing for the dishonesty of the Republicans about what he said. Unfortunately, Shemp, whenever you get into a debate about anything political, you become profoundly intellectually dishonest, and the debate then has to focus on untangling your dishonesty instead of on the points at issue, apparently because you don't have any confidence you can win the debate honestly. You might want to think about what that says about the validity of your political opinions.
