Apologizing for over a century of refusing to protect one's citizens and presiding over countless deaths, tortures, and maimings, is one of those things that we ought to expect from a such a clutch of "moral values" fans as we have in the Senate, so I guess this is a good thing, on the whole.

But excuse my irrepressible cyncism if I wonder whether this recent poll on their approval rating has anything to do with it.

29%? That's almost French Revolution-quality popularity. The rabble may yet be roused, non?
