Now a weekend later, the cringing coward emails his apology to <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.courant.com\/capitol_watch\/2010\/05\/blumenthal-i-have-made-mistake.html\">the Hartford Courant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;At times when I have sought to honor veterans, I have not been as clear or precise as I should have been about my service in the Marine Corps Reserves,&#8221; Blumenthal said in a statement emailed to the Courant late Sunday by his spokeswoman, Maura Downes. &#8220;I have firmly and clearly expressed regret and taken responsibility for my words.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have made mistakes and I am sorry. I truly regret offending anyone,&#8221; Blumenthal said. &#8220;I will always champion the cause of Connecticut&#8217;s and our nation&#8217;s veterans.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How brave! How courageous! Lie to m face and email an apology behind my back. I guess we can all figure out why he avoided service in Vietnam &#8211; he&#8217;s a coward to the bone. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>State Republican Chairman Chris Healy criticized Blumenthal for making his apology by email, calling it an &#8220;electronic mumble.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe he can&#8217;t look the Vets or people in the eye and really admit it,&#8221; Healy wrote on his Facebook page.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How can he even consider running for the Senate now? Do the people of Connecticut really want this mealy-mouthed coward representing them in the Senate?
