REPUBLICANS IN RETREAT

Bill O'Reilly apologized? Get out of here!

Yep, he did. He apologized for the erroneous comment that no Republicans had been invited to the Washington 50th anniversary celebration of Martin Luther Kings speech.

I admire O'Reilly that he apologized. I am also amazed he did not accurately report something that could easily have been discovered by due diligence and appropriate research.

I am neither a fan nor critic of O'Reilly - a strong supporter of almost anything Republican - and I only occasionally tune in to his broadcasts.

I will admit wondering if O'Reilly - at a time that the Republican Party is reported to be desperately seeking supportive votes from the black community - many of whom were widely represented at the Washingon event - has now dug in to determine why none of the Republican invitees chose to attend?

Those invitees are reported to include the two living former Republican Presidents, John McCain their last unsuccessful presidential candidate, and John Boehner the leader of the do nothing branch of Congress - the House Of Representatives.

The two ex-Presidents in the Bush family may get a pass based on stories about their recent physical health problems. But, surely there had to be somebody in a "high" position who was willing to represent the GOP.

I'm probably wrong about this memory thing with which I'm struggling. Am I correct that it was McCain who was all in on the Syrian strike - and now decided he has reservations.

That waffling may even apply to our prez who now appears to have rethought  whether or not he actually established the much discussed "Red Line"

At some point you have to ask yourself, "What the Hell is wrong with the thinking of our politicians?"
