Note that Paladino, the teabagger who is running for governor of NY, is not taking back anything he said. His defense is that he is a "simple man" (an incredibly wealthy "simple man") who was stupid enough to read a speech prepared for him.
He is sorry because people took offense at what he said.
So let's try this on:
"Hey Carl! I'm sorry that you were offended because I referred to you as a `mouth-breathing moron who likes having sex with goats'. No offense meant. Can we be friends, now?"Do you think that would fly on a street-corner encounter?
Me neither.
I'm sure Carl would take you out in a heartbeat and loudly too, if his handlers were there to protect him from you.
