GOP "apologizes" for race-baiting

You got to hand it to Mehlman for some brilliant political jujitsu:

GOP: 'We were wrong' to play racial politics

Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman apologized to one of the nation's largest black civil rights groups Thursday, saying Republicans had not done enough to court blacks in the past and had exploited racial strife to court white voters, particularly in the South.

Apologizing for something YOU'RE STILL DOING?!? Can we get a pre-emptive apology for what will go down in the TN Senate race? Will he condemn the abhorrent race-baiting that just occured in Texas over the driver's license bill? (I guess that will be a separate Hispanic fake apology startegy).
