I'm sorry mistakes were made (and I got caught)

The scene: A member of Congress caught in a scandal appears on a television outlet that he hopes will treat him with sympathy.

Congressman: I’d like to take this opportunity at this time to express my acknowledgment for a recent situation where I didn’t exercise the sound judgment that the people of America deserve from their elected officials. I regret the events that transpired on the night of Oct. 22, and if anyone should take offense at my behavior, I humbly apologize to them, but I think we can all agree that our focus should be on serving the American people in these most uncertain times...
