Snow apologizes for mixing up African American Congresswomen

From The Raw Story, a snippet of an apology made by White House Press Secretary Tony Snow after he'd made remarks that confused Representative Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas with Representative Cynthia McKinney of Georgia: "Also, one important note: On this podium last week--on June 8th--I misidentified Representative Sheila Jackson-Lee as Cynthia McKinney. That prompted a phone call from Representative Jackson-Lee, who was absolutely charming, and we had a wonderful little conversation."

Golly, do you think if Snow had put a bit more effort into it he could have been a bit more patronizing? Yeesh.
