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.

QFT. This is classic Clintonian tactics.
If Obama meets a violent end, there won't be any need for a "single bullet theory."
The Clintons will be the only names on the Wanted Poster.
“over on dummie underground, they are ripping hellary a new one ! this is too funny !”
I just looked at DU and those people are irate. And do they cuss! “F “ everything. LOL LOL LOL
they don't call her the "beast" for nothing
I think she meant to say it, and also was a slam to the Kennedy clan. She knew she would have to apologize, but figures it was worth it.

ALL of Hillary’s Democrat colleagues need to hire food tasters.
(Reference: Livia the Poisoner in the classic PBS series, “I, Claudius”)
Was she smiling?
THX
They are too clever for that.
They would have some 'fall guy' with a racist background caught and killed before he could testify.
When I see Hillary speaking, I am reminded of the scene from Godfather 2 where as his baby is being baptized, Pacino is settling old scores.
The Clintons are nothing but Ark. Mafia.
One can only HOPE. They’ve gotten out of a lot worse than this when they infested the white house before, though. Remember-they’re democrats. Therefore, will the media run with it? My guess is, even Fox (who have been savaging Obama and kissing Hillary’s ass for months now)will gloss over this. It’s also a holiday weekend.
She didn’t mean Obama....she was referencing the fact that her husband and bobby campaigned through JUNE.
Thanks for the link. I hadn’t yet watched the vid because I read that you had to sit through several minutes of beastspeak until the good stuff, but that link was to the point. All I have to say is I haven’t laughed that hard in quite a while. I think I am starting to kind of like Hillary.....she’s got SPUNK!
Go Hillary Go!
Maybe she did it on purpose - so she can now drop out and chalk it all up to a stupid comment. Better to blame a stupid comment than a high negative rating and a flawed campaign.
walks to her gas guzzling SUV
The beast should have to set an example and ride around in a Prius.
All of her voters do. Check them out they either say Hillary or Iam afraid to say his name.
Obama must really be The Messiah. Now we can’t even refer to the fact that he is mortal.
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
