"If what I said offends any of you assholes.. then I am sorry"

When did this become an apology ?
*****************************************

I saw a bumper sticker about six months ago. It said: "Don't Mex with
Tejas".

When some politician thought of it (well, with "anyone" instead of "you
assholes"). It's right up there with "I take full responsibility" and
then taking no consequences.

the context has been the last dozen or so apologies throughout all walks
of life .

instead of saying "I was 100% wrong when I said what I said ", they all
seem to revert to "If I have offended anyone "

one is an apology and one is not
