Roger Clemens is sorry, but for what?

For all his high-ranking Republican friends, Roger Clemens took a page right out of Bill Clinton's book Sunday.

Clemens issued a heartfelt "no apology" apology to his family and the public via a statement to the Houston Chronicle. He was sincere, remorseful, and managed to avoid admitting -- and even went so far as denying -- the accusations levied against him about a supposed decade-long affair with country singer Mindy McCready.

"I know that many people want to know what I have to say about the recent articles in the media," Clemens said. "Even though these articles contain many false accusations and mistakes, I need to say that I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry. I have apologized to my family and apologize to my fans. Like everyone, I have flaws. I have sometimes made choices which have not been right."

So Roger, what specifically are those mistakes? What flaws do you have that you'd be willing to unveil to the public? Nice try, but he's not going down that easy.

"I realize that many people want me to simply confess and apologize for the conduct that I have been accused of, but I cannot confess to, nor apologize for, things I did not do. I have apologized to my family for my mistakes. And having offered this apology to the public, I would ask that you let me and my family deal with these matters in private."

The delusions of innocence continue unhindered, I suppose. Clemens has clearly told these stories so many times that he now believes them, and he continues to invite us to join him in his fantasy land.
