BRANDON, South Dakota (CNN) Hillary Clinton said Friday she regretted comments that evoked the June 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy as part of her explanation for why she was staying in the presidential race late into the primary season.
"Earlier today, I was discussing the Democratic primary history and in the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns that both my husband and Senator Kennedy waged in California in June in 1992 and 1968, and I was referencing those to make the point that we have had nominating primary contests that go into June. That's an historic fact, she told reporters.
The Kennedys have been much on my mind in the last days because of Senator [Ted] Kennedy, and I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and particularly for the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever, she added.

Too little, too late.
I’m betting she insisted on short SS agents so she wouldn’t look so much like the short dump she is.
"Okay, that's nice, no harm done, bygones, all's forgotten, ain't that funny, such a kidder, next on Faux News..."
MSM Reaction to Republican's Remark:
"^&*$(%^&@IMPEACH^R#&^RESIGN)&*(^$$TREASON*&@!%^)^&*%*& BUSH'SFAULT@#$79!!!!"
Equally scary is that there are people who think Obama should answer the phone at 3 AM.
If either of them has the answer, I’m not asking the question.
This comment sticks the fork in her. She’s playing with the dead royals of the Dems. Besides being in bad taste, she picks the week where the last Kennedy receives a public death sentence. The superdelegates will run from her so fast they’ll leave a vacuum in their wake.
When the phone rings at 3 AM at the Clinton house, it is usually for Bill and Hillary just screams “I told you to stop calling here!!!!”
Now, let’s not squabble about who threatened to assassinate whom...
good point
If you were Barack Obama, would you want Hillary Clinton a heartbeat from the presidency?

Yep. They kept assassinating the wrong Kennedy.
She can't help herself. Shes the smartest women in the world and Facts just oooze out of her.
“When the phone rings at 3 AM at the Clinton house, it is usually for Bill and Hillary just screams I told you to stop calling here!!!!”
No, she says “Bill is down at the trailer park”.
Ted Kennedy comes out for Obama and suddenly he has a maligant brain tumour?
Title is incorrect. She actually never apologizes for anything. That’s the Clinton was, of course.
If Shrill O’Biley, Savage, Rush, et al, made this comment there would be a huge outcry from the left along with demands that they be fired.
Smoke and mirrors, allude to the movie: The Illusionist, nothing appears as it seems. Maybe this was orchestrated as her out card and to release the super-duper delegates to release their conscience and vote for chumnp change that you can believe in./Just Asking - seoul62.......
Whoopsie...
obama would definitely need a waffle taster
