The Reverend Made Me Do It

Maybe former DNC Chairman Don Fowler really is sorry for making gleeful comments about a potential devasting hurricane, but his apology makes a case he was sorrier for being caught:

One doesn't anticipate that one's private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase
One does hate to always be guarded, but Fowler also is willing to reveal character flaws when he knows the tapes are running. In private we found he delights in the misfortune of innocents if it furthers his cause. In public, however, we've learned he is a buck passer when he blames a dead man as the genesis for his comments:

Fowler sought to contrast his religious views with those expressed by the late Rev. Falwell before his death.

"I believe in a benevolent God," said Fowler. "I'm a religious person. It was a facetious statement, some might even say satirical, play off of what Falwell said."
