Following the right-wing model for apologies, Ed should've said this:

"I apologize if anyone was offended."


Personally, I would've apologized like this:

"I'm sorry for calling Laura Ingraham a slut. What I mean was that she was an insufferable asshole."

1. Asshole only applies to males.
calling a woman an asshole makes as much sense as calling her a jackass.
