Sunday Roundup

1967 brought us the Summer of Love; 2006 has brought us the Summer of Apologies. We've had George Allen's week-long installmentfor calling a Democratic campaign staffer "macaca," Andy Young's discountfor accusing Jewish, Arab, and Korean grocers of selling black customers "stale bread and bad meat," Mel Gibson'sfor getting drunk and somehow blurting out that the Jews were "responsible for all the wars in the world" (you know what they say: beer before liquor, never been sicker; liquor before beer, raging anti-Semitism), and Rep. Tramm Hudson'sfor positing that "blacks aren't the best swimmers." Detect a theme here? On the non-racial mea culpa front, we've had CNN's Chuck Robertsfor calling Ned Lamont "the al-Qaeda candidate," Sen. Conrad Burnsfor dissing firefighters, and Ehud Olmertfor the civilians killed in Qana. But the summer's not over yet. And it's a good thing, because there's one apology we still haven't heard: President Bush saying he's sorry for screwing up the world -- and that's the sorriest thing of all. Our Sunday Roundup awaits below -- no apologies needed!
