Duke's Brodhead Apologizes: Too Little Too Late
The lawsuit brought about by the falsely-accused lacrosse players must be a good one. When was the last time we can remember a liberal apologizing for anything…?
Brodhead apologizes to lax players, families

Addressing the public for the first time since the disbarment of former Durham district attorney Mike Nifong, President Richard Brodhead said Saturday he regretted not reaching out to former and current lacrosse players and their families more during the tumult of the high-profile case.
“The fact is that we did not get [the communication] right, causing the families to feel abandoned when they most needed support,” Brodhead said. “This was a mistake. I take responsibility for it, and I apologize.”
Brodhead’s speech was part of a two-day conference at the School of Law on the practice and ethics of trying cases in the media.
He said the lacrosse case had highlighted fundamental problems of a media culture that sometimes preclude justice, and added that he hopes to learn from the lacrosse episode and the mishandling of it.
That’s courageous, Mr. Brodhead. Blame it on the media.
How long ago were the students exonerated? Why after all this time has Brodhead decided to publicly apologize?
And I’m sorry, but Brodhead’s apology doesn’t mean shit without the eighty-eight faculty members who led the students’ slander standing next to him. Like the liberals THEY are, the “Gang of 88″ to this day probably believe “something” did happen in that house, the lacrosse students were probably guilty of something, and those Duke faculty cowards were right all along.
Mr. Brodhead, you know where you can put your apology….

Liberals apologize all the time, it’s just that they make non-apology apologies like “I’m sorry you feel offended.”

Or they apologize to the world for the “evil” that America has done.
