Braley not truly sorry for Grassley remarks

Rep. Bruce Braley has apologized to Sen. Chuck Grassley and has said that he's sorry for his ill-conceived comments before a trial lawyer audience about a farmer potentially heading the Senate Judiciary Committee. Baloney. If the congressman truly were remorseful, he would have apologized in January after making his comments, not after he was 'caught.”
Meanwhile, the Braley crew dances around this faux pas by asserting that it makes more sense for a lawyer rather than a farmer to head this committee. OK, fine. Then my question for his supporters is: By using this logic, why did you vote in 2012 for a 'community organizer” rather than a very successful business leader to run an outfit that has a multitrillion dollar budget (that is out of control)?
