If you know how to write a module you could do that by implementing hook_comment_insert():

function MODULE_comment_insert($comment) {
  global $user;
  //check for the administrators
  if(in_array('administrator', array_values($user->roles))) {
    $comment->status = 1; // 0 for unpublished.
    comment_save($comment);
  }
}
