Hmm, now this doesn't appear to be the same as the other apology to American's that is making the rounds...

Quote: "We have no contacts with publicists -- nor do we want any. We don't get invited to movie premieres. We don't interview actors. We don't try to hang out with actresses." - William Bastone, co-founder and editor of TheSmokingGun.com (CBS MarketWatch)

Link: Rick Mercer's apology to the United States of America
Note: I just got off the phone with Rick Mercer's agent and just wanted to let you know this was not written by him and he doesn't even know where it came from. They just got back from Jamaica and found out about it and were actually waiting for someone to contact them (like angry Americans) from all the attention it is getting. He edits all of Rick's work and said that, while there are a few good lines, it has way too many adverbs. On the bright side, he said they did spell Rick's name right.

It might actually be from a bit that Colin Mochrie did for This Hour (remember that Rick left the show about 2 years ago).
