The Politico reports that megachurch pastor John Hagee is going to apologize to Catholics for his past anti-Catholic statements and William Donohue of the Catholic League accepted the apology in "a carefully-coordinated plan." It sounds like a bit of political theater -- as does McCain refusing to disavow the Hagee endorsement while saying it was a mistake to seek it -- but it is a very different reaction than Jeremiah Wright's. Whether it puts an end to Hagee-Wright comparisons remains to be seen.

On another note: Why is it that reporters so frequently misspell the name of a press release machine like Donohue? Many publications spell it "Donahue," as in Phil Donahue.
