More on the Towey quote
Thanks to koenbear, who after that earlier post let me know that Bush’s faith-based initiative czar has since amended his answer. Sort of.
Says koenbear:
There’s an article about it here
from the article:
“Mr. Towey said that he had replied honestly; he was not aware, at the time that he answered the question, of any Pagan charitable organizations. Since then, he had gotten over 1500 letters and emails from Pagans outlining their charitable works, had met with ‘one or two’ Pagans in Washington, and in fact believed that one Pagan organization had actually received money for their soup kitchen. He also stated that the forum in which the question was asked, didn’t give him really enough time to think about the question, and that he wished now, he had given more thought to the question before he answered.
Fair enough. We’ve all said things off the cuff that we wish we hadn’t, and spoken out of ignorance. That’s about as close to an apology from a politician that you’re gonna get, folks.”
So, not an out and out apology.
