BTC: Apologies to everyone but the guy I insulted
From the desk of Liberal Robert Thibault.
"I would like to clarify my position on the article that appeared in the Chronicle Herald this week. It was stated that I felt that people over the age of sixty were too old to be in politics. That is not my position. My statement was intended to apply only to Greg Kerr.
"I would like to apologize to anyone, certainly to any seniors that may have been offended by my comments. The comments were said during a lengthy interview relating to attack ads. It was never my intention to engage in that type of politics."
