There are perhaps elements of accuracy in the comments. However it's not a good idea to air them in public or possibly to the recipient. Always best to keep opinions close to your chest. You never know when you might need to ask favours. So yes an apology was right but the damage already done.

There are those moments when being an American is truly embarrassing! Bush Administration professional behavior right down the line. November elections cannot come soon enough.
