OK, not ME, but Spicy Spice is doing some serious groveling out there:White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer continued Wednesday with trying to repair any damage done to President Donald Trump and himself by a flubbed comparison he attempted the day before about Syrias leader and Adolf Hitler.
Spicer said he is asking for folks forgiveness after initially contending that the aircraft-delivered gas attack on Syrian citizens blamed on the countrys President Bashar Assad was somehow worse than Hitlers use of gas chambers to murder thousands of Jews in World War II, including German Jews. He said the incident was really is painful on a personal and professional level.
I sought peoples forgiveness because I screwed up, Spicer said during an event at the Newseum. He repeated that even trying to make such a comparison was a mistake he dubbed it inexcusable and reprehensible and said he is trying to own it.
Spicer noted that his misstep, which drew calls for his firing from Democratic lawmakers and Jewish groups, came during what is a holy week for both Jews and Christians, which he said only compounds that kind of mistake.

Wondering how you walk back out in front of the assembled Press the next day and start shouting them down again .... or ever think that they will look at you the same way again, as other than a pathetic figure ...
