a little while ago, suggested that those TP reps who instigated this unnecessary shut down should have to apologize not only to the American people but to the mothers deprived of WIC benefits they were entitled to, to the government employees who will lose two weeks pay and to the little children who were sent home from Head Start programs.

You can bet if the tables were turned APOLOGIZE NOW would be the battle cry.
