Remember that time über-toolbag Mark Halperin grilled Ted Cruz about his Cuban cred? Well, he’s sorry. So sorry.
Just look how sorry he is:
My apology regarding a recent interview with Senator Ted Cruz. http://t.co/unovSDhchw

“Some felt the questions were inappropriate.” “I apologize to those that were offended.”
In other words:
#rsrh Shorter @MarkHalperin : Sorry I got caught. http://t.co/Xi6Lbb1l3C

Exactly. He’s not sorry for being a colossal jackass. He’s sorry he got busted for it.
So @MarkHalperin is sorry about poor tone & timing and sorry if anyone was offended. How about I WAS WRONG! https://t.co/jbApjqh29Y

@MarkHalperin "I apologize to those who were offended." #copout

@MarkHalperin An apology usually includes some genuine expression of contrition. "I apologize to those who were offended" is crap.

Shorter @MarkHalperin: "I apologize if you were offended." Not an apology. Saying, "I was was wrong and I apologize" is an apology.

@MarkHalperin so asking cruz to welcome sanders "en espanol" is ok if the tone is right?

I like how you "apologize" by not admitting what you actually did which was so obvious even ThinkProgress panned it. https://t.co/Lb3MGURPrf

Parting suggestion:
the @MarkHalperin should be made to apologize to @TedCruz in Mark's native language of idiot.
