"I regret the comment, and I apologize for it."

That should be read as:

"I regret the comment being reported on, and I am bitter about being forced to apologize for it. Just wait till I get some Republicans in my court and I will make them pay dearly for this humiliation. Just wait."

Yet again, another verification of her attempt to detach herself from that which she said: "I regret the comment, and I apologize for it." Sincerity, as I alluded to in another response in this thread, would have caused the comment to read: "I regret my comment, and I apologize for it." The attempt to detach and depersonalize the remark is obvious. Another feckless jurist unwilling to assume 'true' responsibility for her actions or lack thereof.
