So he only did it just to teach us all a lesson?

I guess Carville was right in one respect--never apologize. You can rest assured, I won't. Besides, if anyone is a Judas its Senator Clinton and her husband. Reverend Wright didn't throw them under the bus in Bill's hour of need. But I guess that cardinal principal called loyalty only goes one way, eh?
