And they played dirty with him, too. So dirty that the dreadful Lee Atwater, while on his deathbed, felt compelled to call Dukakis and apologize. Now why would someone near death feel urged to apologize to someone? You don't make amends to someone when you're on your deathbed if you spit off his bridge or gave him a paper cut. You scramble to make amends if you did something you won't be able to answer for at the Pearly Gates.
