When we make off the cuff comments and it is offensive, it is almost certainly what we intended. It is why there is so much effort to polish that image up for politics. Does that mean that someone can't see the error of their ways, go back and apologize, and what not? No. We're human. But you have to have the stones to admit you've screwed up, so admit your comment was in poor taste, you were in the wrong, and make amends. If you aren't polished enough to not do those things and you don't have the courage to admit when you are wrong, then you are a danger if you are a government official.
