So sorry

If the mayor of San Francisco can apologize for having an affair, a TV star can apologize for anti-gay slurs and a presidential candidate can apologize for foot-in-mouth disease, can one of Indiana's own do less?

U.S. Rep. Dan Burton this morning apologized for missing 19 votes to play in a golf tournament in January.

Burton, R-Indianapolis, who has not responded to requests for comment, made his apology during an appearance on a conservative radio talk show in Indianapolis.

Unfortunately, Dan hit a little snag in his apology, observing that he has yet to meet the person who has never made a mistake. Sounded more whiny than contrite.

Nice try Dan, most folks don't make the same mistake 19 times in a row.
