.... Huh

Well.

Apparently an apology has been issued:

"If my comments caused any harm or hurt to the hard working Americans who play Dungeons & Dragons, I apologize. This campaign is committed to increasing the strength, constitution, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma scores of every American. "
--Michael Goldfarb

The thing is, I cannot, for the life of me, find this on any official sites. I can find it on a lot of blog sites but if anyone can find this on a McCain site or something like that, I'd appreciate it.

Still, it sounds like the guy is snickering as he types it.

roll a saving throw versus Bullshit, please...

A lot of people are reporting on it as if it were actual but like I said, I can't find it anywhere other than pseudo-official news blogs.

The Phoenix Sun picked it up, but they linked back to the same series of blogs as everyone else is. I can't find any official source, either.

Holy cow, you two know one another too? Small world :)

Yeah, that's pure, unadulterated snark right there. I could get you the street value in a couple of days.. :)

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Heh.

[fair-witness.livejournal.com]

... yeah. Either the guy was snickering, or someone else wrote it (and snickered) as the kind of apology Goldfarb could make.

[quizro.livejournal.com]

That sounds too funny to be real. I'm thinking someone else made it up.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

That would be my guess too.

I appear to have missed the wank entirely. Details, plz?

The johnmccain.com page now links to the politico coverage of the apology, so I guess that's "official" confirmation.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Innnnnteresting.

"This campaign is committed to increasing the strength, constitution, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma scores of every American. "

Wow. As a gamer, I would certainly not term an apology that way. I was snickering while READING it XD

That's probably going to still make me laugh tomorrow. This is like insulting cat macro lovers and later apologizing with a cat macro that says, "Can I has forgiveness?"

And now I want that as an icon =PPP
