Greg Abbott's apology about the Ted Nugent event

http://bayareahouston.blogspot.com/2014/02/greg-abbott-issues-apology-for-ted.html

"In my defense, I was unaware of Nugent's past racist comments or his alleged sexual history prior to the event. I was also unaware President Obama is Black, or that my wife is Hispanic, and that I have a young daughter. Obviously I 'm either the most ignorant candidate for Governor in the history of the state, or I am one big fat liar."

Typical Republicon. Tossing his crap-loaded diapers -- and Teddy Boy -- under the bus in the hopes that no one will notice what an a-hole hypocrite he is. How often have we seen this play out in The Republicon Homeland?

" I did not have inhumane mongrel relations with that man, Mr. (wink-wink) Nugie" - GAbbott (R)

Oops, the Stop Tony Meow plug-in overrides anything with abbott in the photo tagline.

The first part might have worked, but then the
final two sentences, which confuses the whole thing... is this satire? or his actual words?
