- So do I -- and I was the one who first used it, in the article that started
- this whole sorry mess, and I apologized for it -- but you should note something:
- I did not describe Chaney in such fashion. I told him to get his down here
- and see just how hateful he'd be to me in person. There is a large difference
- between the two usages, and Chaney is lying through his teeth as usual when
- he says I described him as one -- so you can see why Chaney isn't going to
- be getting an apology from me, when he deserves it more than anyone else.
- He had his chance -- and he threw it away.
