Check it out: http://www.johnmbecker.com/2013/03/20/michelle-shocked-responds-i-was-misunderstood/ I'm not buying it. When a public figure causes a PR disaster by making shocking or ill-advised remarks, they or their representatives often try to rewrite what actually took place and reframe the story in a way that makes them look less unfavorable. It's understandable, yet insincere. Shocked's statement doesn't strike me as a genuine, wholehearted apology; it smells like damage control. And damage control isn't good enough.
