John Hagee says he's sorry

Hagee is feeling "regret". Well, then, all those bigoted, vile remarks are just distant memories, water under the bridge, finito, forgotten:

John Hagee, an influential televangelist who endorsed John McCain, is apologizing to Catholics for referring to the Roman Catholic Church as "the great whore" and calling it "the apostate church."

Hagee's support for McCain has drawn criticism from some Catholic leaders. McCain has said he does not agree with some of Hagee's past comments.

Of course he doesn't agree. That would be wrong. He's just "honored" and "glad to have" his endorsement.

In a letter to William Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights, Hagee wrote: "Out of a desire to advance a greater unity among Catholics and Evangelicals in promoting the common good, I want to express my deep regret for any comments that Catholics have found hurtful."

Those Catholics are so easily hurt! Can't we all just be friends? Um, Hagee? I know apologies, and that was no apology.

Donohue, one of Hagee's critics, said, "To me, it's basically over." He planned to meet with Hagee.

Oh, it's over, all right. Hagee weighs on John Sidney McFlippy the way a lead-bib weighs on a dental X-ray patient.
