He loves to decorate his introduction with signs of humility, love, before his true motive, hoping that some would be caught off guard. In this case, he seems to admit that \"some\" of the criticisms MacArthur had on him over all these years are right on and that he would repent. Which ones? He didn't say. What Driscoll did follow up with that is that he had not given any negative comments about MacArthur. Is Driscoll playing the fairness card at the wrong time or what?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It's just really isn't Driscoll's season lately.
