I’m simply going to hope and assume that Secretary Tillerson learned his manners from fellow Texan Judge Roy Bean, and crafted his apology accordingly....

It’s very probably several things. Including but not limited to:

I’ve been thinking a lot about this, and it seems to me that a better policy would be to try to live your life so that nobody WANTS to say mean things about you when you’re dead, or you haven’t given them much material to work with.

I read the article and followed two of the links to the subject’s own work. In the process, I learned more about Mr. Douchecanoe than I ever really needed to know. Ms. Rife went easy on him.

We should put them all on a rocket and send them into space to blow up an asteroid!

Jaws.

I figured it out the other evening (thanks partly to a recent snow day movie marathon): not a comic book villain, but a comic book movie villain, specifically—

They need to add this to the next entry in the Dead or Alive franchise, because maybe that’ll make the games less... more... no, le—... because that will totally change the games’ sleaziness quotient in a positive or negative direction.

It costs less than a game of Ghosts’n’Goblins did back in 1985, and you lasted nearly five times as long as anybody ever did on their first quarter and have the option of infinite free replays.

Thank you. Just... thank you.

That’s a shame. It’s a lot funnier with the little smile at the end.
