You are right he should not apologize and then say it again. If he thinks she is nuts then say and stick by your guns. I am not sure if he was just apologizing for saying he did not call her a nut or if he apologized for saying that he did not. At any rate she is a nut and so is he to a certain extent.

When he has that little mousy guy with the glasses on Crossfire I think he is going to pop a vein. If there was not the genuine hatred between those two men, watching them interact with other would be humorous.
