One can't wait indefinitely before retracting AND apologizing. None of this wishy-washy "I mispoke" bullshit either. Own-up, admit the mistake, promise to never do it again, and apologize without reservation, without condition, without exception, without excuses.

How quickly did it take Warren to chime in with her comments? Her retraction and apology should be at least as quick.

It's this type of behavior (the hasty initial misstep AND the delayed retraction and apology) that convince me that she'll never be anything more than the Senator from Massachusetts. I'd never support someone like this to become our party's nominee.

And with each hour that passes, it becomes more and more unlikely that they will. Donna walked back a bit, but did not apologize.
