by Julia Preston, New York Times. EFL. LRR. A federal appeals court judge apologized "profusely" yesterday for remarks he made last weekend at a lawyers convention comparing President Bush’s election in 2000 to the rise of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. In a letter to the court, Guido "impression?" he was taking a partisan position, opposing President Bush’s re-election. "I did not have political relations with that man, Senator Kerry." "I wasn’t attacking the President--that smirking, chimpanzee frat-boy neocon fascist warmonger Jew-loving son of apes and pigs--and anyone who thinks I was is too stupid to follow my subtle and nuanced arguments! So there! Um, I mean, I’m sorry." In a letter that contained no less than four apologies, he said he was "truly sorry" for "any embarrassment" he might have caused the appeals court. He did not, however, renounce the views he expressed. "Because I’m right! I’m smarter than you, you stupid sheep! Back to your pastures in flyover country, you ignorant peasants!" Judge Calabresi was appointed by President Bill Clinton in February 1994. That explains why the apology is even lamer than the misconduct he was apologizing for. |

#2 So he's basically admitting he's sorry - that he got caught. Wanker. |

#1 In a letter to the court, Guido Calabresi, a judge on the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, acknowledged that he had given the impression he was taking a partisan position, opposing President Bush’s re-election. Sorry bud, but the genie's not going back into the bottle, no matter how much you'd like it to. |
