Bush Should Apologize (when hell freezes over)

It’s hard to believe the whole left-liberal insistence that women, in particular, are offended by the President’s refusal to apologize. The myth being propagated is that the President is reminding women of a trait they dislike in their own husbands. But if — as we were told — women were charmed throughout the ’90’s by a skirt-chasing, promise-breaking, smooth-talking southern President who left a string of maligned or abandoned women in his wake, it’s hard to believe that they are holding their Presidents to the same standards to which they hold their husbands.
