CANADIAN NATIVE LEADER DOES TRENT LOTT IMPERSONATION: Native leader David Ahenakew, who last Friday described Jews as a "disease" and thought it was right that Adolph Hitler "fried" six million of them, today tearfully apologized for his comments.

"Words cannot describe how sorry I am for the hurt that I have caused . . . such comments have no excuse."

That's all well and good, but why make the comments in the first place if you didn't believe them?
