Republican Gov. Nikki Haley said Friday that she regrets making the lowbrow comment about reporter Renee Dudley, who had written a story about the lawmaker.

But Haley managed to still take a dig at the 25 year old.

"The story painted a grossly inaccurate picture and was unprofessionally done, but my 'little girl' comment was inappropriate and I regret that," Haley said in a statement.

"Everyone can have a bad day. I'll forgive her bad story, if she'll forgive my poor choice of words."

1. I don't regret calling her a bitch for doing so....

Another Sarah Palin clone, that one. SC deserves better than this crap.

[classysassy]

8. South Carolina

is crap.

[jpak]

11. The most Confederate state in the South

yup

[Cool Logic]

12. And you appear to be a victim of the "my glass is half-empty" syndrome.

[provis99]

14. of course.

To look at it as half full, they could have written, "At least South Carolina isn't as crappy as Mississippi!"

2. Good bye to possible VP pick for Romney

And good riddance.

My call for the rethug ticket - Romney/Ryan - Yuck.

We will be lucky if the crazies nominate the strongest craziest - Perry, but I suspect Romney will buy his way to the top.

[Yupster]

16. Romney / Rubio

sounds like the tiocket to me.

Good regional balance, Rubio gets Mitt his tea party creds and a minority to boot.

Tougher for Perry. Perry would need a northern moderate, maybe woman or minority. Can't think of a good match.

3. her remark was sexist. doesn't matter if she's a woman

because what she said was insulting and condescending. it's sad how men have screwn up our national discourse and attitudes so badly that even women buy into that shit.

4. Wow, That's Catty

Nikki, you old cow!

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. I regret Haley went on that $%@* Laura Ingraham's show.

Douchebags x 2

[provis99]

6. note how she blames the victim of her taunt.

Typical republican crudhead.

[DallasNE]

7. Not Only That

But she made her apology conditional on the victim apologizing. Her thin skin has caused her to dig the hole deeper.

[rasputin1952]

9. No one can forgive another if they are asking for something in return...

that is not forgiveness, it is contingency.

Haley should just own up and say she erred and apologize, it is solely up to the offended individual to forgive, (or not), the incident.

Forgiveness is offered freely and w/o any strings attached, in fact, true forgiveness absolves the individual of the perceived offense. Haley has, once again, shown poor judgement.

10. A "little" 39-year older calling a 25-year older "little"

:rofl:

[chelsea0011]

13. She can apologize all she wants. Her original comment says everything

you need to know about who she is.

[No Elephants]

15. Way to be a classy grown up Governor.
