the passive-agressive act of dramatically apologizing not only for an action which one has committed, but also for things which one has previously committed, has not committed, and would not likely commit, all in an effort to reduce one's culpability for the central action in question. This is similar to a strategy employed by jewish grandmothers, where one apologizes for all things that have ever happened, whether good or bad.
Example of a "Letterman apology":
Dave: ... so my apologies to subjecting them to that vulnerability and being brow-beaten and humiliated, it never occured to me, and as a matter of fact Alan Coulter kept wanting to know if we'd had sex, do you remember that Alan?
Alan: I did and I don't remember.
Dave: So I'll just say I'm terribly sorry ... And now, also because what can it hurt, once again I'd like to apologize to the former governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin...

When a person (most often a celebrity) issues a less-than-sincere retraction on Twitter for something negative they said about another celebrity. The phony apology is usually made for the express purpose of garnering publicity.
Charlie Sheen just issued another Twitter apology for calling Denise Richards the n-word.

So you’re just going to ignore me now?
It’s hard when you are so awake. I know what all of you people are thinking and why.
I apologize

This is an individual who is mean, cruel and insulting until he or she breaks you. And then they say "I'm sorry." Once people begin to see the trend, they realize that the person isn't sincere about their apologies.
She's so mean towards all the boys in the class and always apologizing to them the one's that cry.
Yeah, she's such a master of apologies.

Whe one loses 6-0 in a game of Pro Evolution Soccer, one must submit a letter of apology to the victor, pinning it to the wall to show to all until the loser defeats the victor 6-0 in another game. A defeat of more than 6 goals must be punished with a letter of apology being sent to the Pope.
Leahy: 6-0, whip out the letter of apology
Dave: Let me get the paper.....

An apology for doing something so dire that was so shitty that your reputation takes a big downfall due to your lack of empathy and maturity.
"After Tim crashed my car he just texted me "oops bro im so sorry i crashed your car". Man i cant believe that man"
"He really pulled an astroworld apology on you, my condolences bro."
