Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton apologized Friday after she mentioned the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy while defending her decision to remain in the race against Sen. Barack Obama.

In a taped meeting with the editorial board of the Argus-Leader newspaper in Sioux Falls, S.D., Clinton said: “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.”

Clinton’s comment brought a swift rebuke from the Obama campaign. Obama, who’s likely to be the first African-American to be a major party’s presidential nominee, was given Secret Service protection early in the campaign season because of concerns for his safety.

So I ask, what’s in a word?  Let me see there was a week’s worth of crap from the media over Michelle Obama’s, “proud” comment, then there was the now famous bitter comment, so it will be interesting to see if the media is gonna play ball and let it go.  Personally, I think they will.  Why?  The media let Clinton tap dance on the “hard working wjite Americans” comment, so they will let her go with this most recent one.
