A Fallen Hero and A Stupid Politician
I heard about this yesterday and was not impressed...
[Politicking a Family's Tragedy
Staff Sgt. Joseph Goodrich of Pittsburgh was killed in Iraq on July 10. Two weeks later, as friends and family gathered at his funeral, an uninvited guest appeared — Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor Catherine Baker Knoll.
Rather than join in honoring the fallen hero, Knoll passed out business cards, politicked, and criticized the Iraq War. "Knoll felt this was an appropriate time to campaign and impose her will on us," said Rhonda Goodrich, Joseph's sister."]
(Emphasis Mine)
How completely rude.
Well now, it seems that the LG has written a letter of apology (ish). (as reported by FoxNews)
[In a letter to Goodrich's widow, Amy, Knoll said she left a card in case the family wanted to contact her "and as a sign of my willingness to help the family through this difficult time in any way I can. To do anything that was deemed insensitive was completely counter to my intent."
Goodrich, 32, of Westwood, died July 10 in Iraq. His family told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last week that they felt they were owed an apology by Knoll and didn't understand why she attended the funeral in Carnegie.
"Sergeant Goodrich's service was beyond the call of duty," Knoll's letter said. "If my regard for his family's grief was seen another way, it is thoroughly regrettable. The fact that you have been offended deserves and receives my most profound apology."]
This is one smooth moonbat. Notice how she apolizes for and regrets the fact that someone was offended but doesn't touch on the fact that her actions themselves were wrong?
She's apologized for someone else's perception of her actions instead of her actions themselves.
