They are talking about John McCain's disarming frankness about his own flaws and Welch has a line which I was sort of taken aback by: "Apologizing is a great way to get laid."
It's sort of true.
And this conversation made me slightly (ever so slightly) sympathetic to the John McCain I once upon a time liked; the guy who had somewhat schlubby flaws. And (in true Schlub-to-Stud manner) who also owned his flaws.
Unfortunately, the schlub in John McCain has been replaced by someone else. A less self-effacing, more arrogant (and Bush-like) creature.
John McCain will have to do a lot more apologizing to get back his schlub status...
