The Knucklehead of the day award

It's been three days with no good knuckleheads but now I have one.

Today's winner is Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, who apologized to her countrymen for a phone conversation she made where she talked about fixing last year's presidential.

The International Herald Tribune reports

"I recognize that making any such call was a lapse in judgment," the president said. "I am sorry." She added that she took "full responsibility for my actions."

The telephone conversation, which had been wiretapped, has roiled her presidency, with the political opposition claiming that it was proof that she cheated her way to victory.

Monday was the first time that Arroyo has admitted that she was the female voice on the recordings. Her admission, the administration hoped, should put the issue behind her.

Madame President you're just another dishonest crooked Philippine politician and a liar. You been caught red-handed on tape and you continue to lie. You're really a knucklehead
