O'Neal said he forwarded the email "too quickly missing the text included in the body of the email." He added, "To those I have offended, I am sorry. That was not my intent."
guess it is safe to say he doesn't read bills no matter how short they are.

Sorry doesn't get it, that rings hollow as a pipe! He should say "got me, I am truly a racist crass pig, and I resign". "I own it".
