Emerson Apologizes to Constituents - Fuddle Duddle

David Emerson’s apology is rather interesting:

I know many of my constituents are having difficulty with the choice I have made. To those of you who are upset with my decision – I apologize. However, I did not come by this decision lightly and I stand firm behind the decision to become a part of this new government.

Translation?

You might be unhappy BUT I’d screw you again in a second if I was given the chance.

Ok, that’s not polite. Lets try this alternate translation:

I’m sorry if you are unhappy that I ignored your vote and started negotiating with Harper’s people the very next day, less than 24 hours after you elected me as a Liberal Cabinet Minister, sworn to defend the Liberal party platform. BUT I don’t see anything wrong with it and I’ll do it again, if you folks are naive enough to give me yet another chance.

Or maybe Emerson really wanted to be more plain:

I’m sorry, BUT lets speak bluntly. As westerners you ought to be used to politicians giving you the finger. Remember Trudeau? Get used to it.
