   Ishihara apologizes over 'divine punishment' remark
   TOKYO, March 15, Kyodo

   Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara apologized Tuesday for his remark that the devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck eastern and northeastern Japan represented ''divine punishment'' of the Japanese people who have been tainted with egoism.

   ''I will take back (the remark) and offer a deep apology,'' Ishihara told a news conference, adding he should have thought about the feelings of victims.

   Miyagi Gov. Yoshihiro Murai showed displeasure with Ishihara, who will seek his fourth term in the upcoming election, telling reporters that he hopes the Tokyo governor will pay consideration to disaster victims.

   On Monday, Ishihara told reporters, ''Japanese politics is tainted with egoism and populism. We need to use tsunami to wipe out egoism, which has rusted onto the mentality of Japanese over a long period of time.''

   ''I think (the disaster) is tembatsu (divine punishment), although I feel sorry for disaster victims,'' he said.

   So it's okay to make insensitive and asinine statements as long as one apologizes when people get offended? I just love that the new policy for public jackassery is subsequent insincere contrition :/

   Of course he's lying. Apparently it's a trend for people to say racially, religiously, or ethnically insensitive things in public only to turn around later and apologize. Politicians and actors seem to be doing it all the time now. They're only worried about their careers.

    He must eat a pie made with complete dead crows feathers and all on live TV for me to forgive him.
    Oh and said dead crows will be aged in an incubator at 37C for a week before making the pie and it will be served with broccoli that also was in said incubator.
