Clinton stuck her foot in it good again today. In an interview with the editorial board of the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, when asked why she was not withdrawing from the race, she had this to say:

“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” she said.

Say what?

Not too long afterwards, she apologized. But not for implying that she is sticking around because someone might assassinate Barack Obama, with the specter of two centuries of lynching it calls up. Or because her words could be taken to mean that if someone wants her to win the nomination, s/he should pull out a gun. Nope. Not for those things.

What was she sorry for?

“I regret if my referencing of that moment of trauma for our entire country and particularly the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I had no intention of that whatsoever,” she said.

She’s apologizing because she might have hurt the Kennedys’ feelings.

Not because she might have fed the mob mentality of racists, or implied that she would profit by it.

Try it again, Hillary. And try to sound sincere this time.
