We Knew It Was Coming?

The PC express rolled Dr. Summers.  Hot off the press:  the apology.

"I was wrong to have spoken in a way that has resulted in an unintended signal of discouragement to talented girls and women," Mr. Summers said in a letter that was posted on his Harvard Web site.

"Despite reports to the contrary, I did not say, and I do not believe, that girls are intellectually less able than boys, or that women lack the ability to succeed at the highest levels of science," Mr. Summers wrote.

It was his third public statement in three days about his remarks at a conference on women and minorities in science and engineering last Friday, with each statement becoming stronger and more apologetic. His remarks have dominated the discussion on the Harvard campus and beyond, with female academics, alumni and donors expressing concern over his leadership.

Do read the entire sad and sorry thing.

Does it matter that what Dr. Summers expressed a few days ago is the truth?  Does it matter that what some accuse Dr. Summers of implying is not at all what he did say?

Nope.  When the PC express gets rolling, the truth is a mere bug to be crushed under its mighty wheels.
