Election Apology Watch #3

The apology's are coming along strong, this one from Senator John McCain, via AP and Opinion Journal:

John McCain said a stupid and offensive thing about Iraq the other night, as the Associated Press reports:

On Wednesday night, McCain said on CBS' "Late Show With David
Letterman": "Americans are very frustrated, and they have every right to be.
We've wasted a lot of our most precious treasure, which is American
lives."

McCain quickly apologized:

"I should have used the word, sacrificed, as I have in the past,"
the Arizona senator said after Democrats demanded he apologize as Sen. Barack
Obama did when the White House hopeful recently made the same observation.
"No one appreciates and honors more than I do the selfless patriotism of
American servicemen and women in the Iraq War," McCain, a former Vietnam
prisoner of war, said in a statement.

Makes you wonder if McCain is on the Democrat or Republican ticket. But at least his views were toward a very receptive audience on David Letterman, which I haven't watched in years.
