    Dukaka apologizes

    Sooo typical of this little fraud...he pimped up a "Massachusets Miracle" (the miracle was that economic activity happened at all during his term) as a prelude to a Presidential run, hosted PBS television, under-cut Biden with his leak of the Dimmock tapes, didn't know which end of the tank to look out over, and generally travelled as if the weight of world change rested upon his very broad(--and--oh--so--much--better--than--anyone's) shoulders. Now he's back saying he's at the center of this miasma...pulleeeese!Basically "The Duke" has been marginalized for over a decade (he pops off every so often about AMTRAK) and is now clamoring for the attention that he thrives on. He should be sitting in the darkened third deck of the Pepsi Center, aloof and alone, which is pretty much how he took advice during the "world changing" 1988 campaign. He proves that being "wicked" smart isn't necesarily the ingredient in a good candidate or leader.
