Neil deGrasse Tyson will apologize to George W. Bush as soon as he finds ‘a good medium’

Twitchy reported that Neil deGrasse Tyson took to his Facebook page to halfheartedly admit that he was wrong for using erroneous quotes to smear George W. Bush. Tyson was pressed on why he hasn’t directly apologized to Bush.

.@neiltyson Why not say "My apologies to George W. Bush for repeatedly & completely misstating what he meant in that quote about 'our God.'"

Tyson responded that he’s looking for a medium:

@cfchabris Thanks. Sure, I plan to say something like that soon. I’m looking for a good medium & occasion.

Others quickly pointed out that the medium he’s currently using or the one (Facebook) he used previously would work just fine.

@seanmdav @Aaron_RS @neiltyson a good medium would be twitter, and a good time would be any.

@neiltyson @cfchabris I hear that Twitter thing is a pretty good medium…just tag in @laurawbush , she'll tell George

. @neiltyson How about now? On Twitter? What better medium? @MichelleNMeyer @MomMilkshake

@neiltyson @cfchabris translation…"if I wait long enough, everybody will forget about it."

@neiltyson @cfchabris Why? You didn't need a good medium or occasion to lie.

— Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) September 28, 2014

.@neiltyson There’s never a bad time or place to say “I was wrong and I’m sorry.”

Nope.
