Another recent example is Minister Lisa Raitt - it took days for her to issue her apology re the medical isotope issue "being sexy" (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/06/10/raitt-statement-isotopes061009.html), especially in light of the fact that she lost family members to cancer. As someone who lost her father to that leukemia, I was highly offended and for me that apology came way too late. It should have been issued the day the the story broke. Waiting too long to issue apologies really blows away the person's credibility. I think Brown and Letterman both waited too long to apologize and that did take away from their apologies.
