The Shocking Truth About Memory Loss That No One Is Talking About: Former President Can’t Recall Apologizing
In a stunning revelation that has neuroscientists baffled, a former president has discovered that the passage of time can make one completely forget whether or not they’ve apologized for past actions. The groundbreaking condition, dubbed “Selective Apology Amnesia,” appears to specifically target memories of public statements made during political scandals.
According to his new memoir “Citizen,” Bill Clinton was “caught off guard” when asked about apologizing for the Lewinsky scandal during a 2018 interview, despite having had merely two decades to prepare for such an outrageous and completely unpredictable line of questioning.
“The interviewer was barely in his teens when this happened,” Clinton writes, apparently unaware that journalists born after Watergate are still allowed to ask questions about it.
Max Perkins, Managing Editor at PISR, offered his characteristically blunt assessment: “As someone who doesn’t work hard and gets paid a lot, I appreciate the effort it takes to maintain strategic forgetfulness. It’s not complicated – sometimes you just need twenty years to workshop your ‘I’m sorry’ speech.”
The memoir, titled “Citizen,” goes on to explain how Clinton “wishes nothing but the best” to those affected by his actions, a phrase historically used by people who have definitely moved on and aren’t at all bitter about being asked perfectly reasonable questions.
