The nation is still buzzing over Wienergate; when Redskins tight end Chris Cooley posted a naked photo of himself — including shlong — on his personal blog over the weekend. This has caused much consternation at Clan Cooley; the photo was removed late Sunday, and now Chris has issued a mea culpa. It's probably the most significant penis apology since the Clinton administration.

From Chriscooley47.com:

“All apologies from the website. ... We did not want to offend anyone,” Cooley said in a posting Monday afternoon after the photo was removed. “The picture wouldn’t have been up for so long, but we were in the middle of winning a big game. Once again, this was a complete accident, and we regret not reviewing the post more closely.”

Not sure I'm buying that, but thanks, Chris!

Elsewhere in the world of shameful regret:

• Sorry for the Hispanic drycleaning remark. Eveyone knows my drycleaner is Korean. — Kornheiser

• Sorry I haven't fired Kiffin yet. Couldn't get my coffin open last night. — Al Davis

• Sorry for using your head as a volleyball outside of that bar. — Kim Willoughby

• Sorry for flooding the sports arena with pilsner. I of course should have went with pale lager. — German kid
