Remember Fred Hobbs, the Democrat from Tennessee who asked if Obama is “terrorist connected?” Well, he’s apologized and found someone to blame:

“I apologize if my remarks in any way hurt any of our great Democratic candidates, including Sen. Obama,” Hobbs wrote of the presumptive party nominee. “Also, I apologize if my comments embarrassed our state or my friends at the Tennessee Democratic Party.” “I was not as well prepared as I should have been when speaking with reporters, and I should have taken more time to research Sen. Obama’s positions. My comments did reflect questions I had after what I had seen reported on Fox News, but I should have taken some time to check the accuracy of what I saw on television before speaking publicly. My statement that Sen. Obama ‘may be terrorist-connected’ was incorrect, and I apologize for making it.”
