Dick Blumenthal finally says what he couldn’t bring himself to say last week: “sorry.”
“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,” Blumenthal said in a statement emailed to the Courant late Sunday by his spokeswoman, Maura Downes. “I have firmly and clearly expressed regret and taken responsibility for my words.
“I have made mistakes and I am sorry. I truly regret offending anyone,” Blumenthal said. “I will always champion the cause of Connecticut’s and our nation’s veterans.”

On the Republican side of the Connecticut Senate race, pro-wrestling magnate Linda McMahon won the support of the Connecticut GOP convention on Friday night, but former congressman Rob Simmons says he will challenge McMahon in the August primary.
