He's Sorry He Said It

Newt Gingrich, wordsmith mojo in fast and furious mode, backs away from teh stupid:

"My initial reaction was strong and direct -- perhaps too strong and too direct," Gingrich said today. "The sentiment struck me as racist and I said so. Since then, some who want to have an open and honest consideration of Judge Sotomayor's fitness to serve on the nation's highest court have been critical of my word choice."

There's so much code-swapping going on here it's making my head swim.

It's a non-apology apology, playing to the FOX News (just a vowel-movement away from the truth, yo) choir.

Of course, it's entirely possible that he has more passionate opinions on macaroni and cheese than Sonia Sotomayor. But he's sorry he's unseemly.

He's not had a change-of-heart, as the media are eager to give him credit for. I don't know what he uses for a heart, but it hasn't change one iota.
