"Sorry" seems to be the hardest word for most politicians. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid used it this week when he told a print and online publication, Politico, how he regretted his infamous comment about the war in Iraq. "I wish I hadn't used the word 'lost,' " Reid told Politico. I bet he does, considering the fallout from that incendiary comment. But Reid added: "I'm going to my grave saying I have at least expressed my feelings. I am going to be who I am." Even if he at times regrets it? Reid has never had a very effective self-editing mechanism and often is who he is too much around the media. That's great for us, but not always so great for his cause. And which, really, is more important - us or the cause?
