Colorado Governor Bill Owens apologized today for using the phrase, "the natives are getting restless" during a conference on tribal gambling. Apropos, perhaps, but taken badly by some attendees who, before day's end, were calling for Owens' scalp.

"I'm very sorry. How sorry? Sorrier than a paddy at last call," said Owens. "I'm sorrier than an uppity negro on the whipping post."

"I'm more sorry than a bankrupt Jew," continued Owens. "or my wife when she overcooks the chicken again."

"Am I sorry? Is the Pope Catholic?" said Owens in his statement. "Of course he's Catholic, that mumbly, dying bastard."


Governor Bill Owens, left, apologizes to injun chief Tonto Redskin or whatever by presenting him with some shiny beads. The Chief accepted the apology and offered his two daughters and 113 acres outside of Boulder as a goodwill gesture.
