Bush to raise cash for Allen

"Senator Allen apologized," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. "And I think it's in everyone's best interest, in this day and age of politics when everyone is trying to improve the tone and discourse, to accept apologies when they're offered."
...
Perino was speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as Bush traveled to Minnesota for a fundraiser and speech. Bush plans to travel across the Potomac River to Virginia Wednesday to raise money for Allen at the home of former Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie.

"I was asked earlier if the president had qualms about attending," Perino said. "The answer is, 'No.'"

Phil Singer, spokesman for the Senate Democrats campaign committee, argued that simply saying Allen apologized wasn't good enough.

"Allen's remarks were despicable and Bush has an obligation to say so," Singer said. "If the president refuses to condemn Allen's comments, he should at the very least cancel his fundraiser for him or else it will look like he is rewarding Allen's behavior."

1. Accept apologies, just never, ever give them.

Sounds about right.

2. Bogus apology, " I do apologize if he's offended by that. "

George Allen also denied that the "Welcome to America" line had anything to do with the Indian appearance of the James Webb volunteer, claiming he meant outstide-the-Beltway.

Most Virginians think you suck, just like most Americans do. So come on by and give that racist your kiss of death. Might be the only decent thing you've ever done.
