Just proof never put anything in an email you really cannot stand up for. The post leak apologies just sound so insincere and weak that it makes it worse. Better to just defend them with like: "What Barack, can't you take a joke? You hired Holder after all..." or something like that...

    I wish people would stop apologizing... it's not genuine, it's pandering and just makes them look scared and weak. And a liar. Why not say, "yep I said it...who's the nosey fuck going thru my emails, what happened to the first amendment??"

      That is a better approach. This came out of a hacking event, where something said in the expectation of privacy was stolen. With the IRS thing that was government officials who are on the public dole, so their stuff should be available, it's a price of admission thing. But private corporate emails are "private" even though the "They are totally different behind closed doors" thing may be a little disturbing, I am sure Angeline Jolie could drop Sony in a heartbeat but she has her own self interests to look after. The "I'm so sorry I am an insensitive baboon" thing is just so inane and asinine that it makes it 10 time worse. Your comment would be much better, but would result in being fired 10 seconds later for not being "sensitive enough". More of our social BS system in effect...

        But now they're sanctioning the backlash. No one is allowed a personal private opinion outside of the group think parameters..or, God forbid, crack a joke between friends. Stand behind your own words like a grown up...they might be surprised how many people appreciate honesty..it's so rare. This actually makes me curl up my nose at Sony. An apology that is the result of having your nuts in a vise is not a real heart felt sincere apology...it's the result of some sort of evil force...being under some sort of threat.
        The icky apology is worse than the crime in my opinion. Hurt feelings and junk...sticks and stone...

          Exactly. And that is what happens every-time some dumb-ass politician gets caught stealing, lying or cheating. "I'm sorry" or "I was so insensitive". nasty, nasty BS, all of it.
