I still think she had to go, but this really is an impressive apology from Power: sincere, thoughtful, and fair to both her former boss and Senator Clinton.

We are the same person. I just watched that on Sullivan’s blog.

Well said. Note, though, that she clearly leaves open the interpretation that she really does believe HRC to be a monster! SP points out twice that she has always heretofore been careful to speak respectfully of Clinton in public.
(Note further that I don’t think SP thinks HRC is a monster.)

That is pretty classy. Maybe the flip side of being the kind of “political rookie” that says tactless shit is actually being able to make a genuine, non-self-serving apology.

Especially in the sense that, unlike those of the political professionals, her life and career in no sense depend on the outcome of this election.
