Happy Tuesday.

Late yesterday, Sec. Kerry backtracked on his apartheid comment that he had let poor spokesjoke Jen Psaki defend for two days, suggesting both that "I will not allow my commitment to Israel to be questioned" and, somewhat contrarily, that "if I could rewind the tape, I would have chosen a different word."

Kerry also received an apology from the Trilateral Commission, to whose members Kerry had made the incendiary remark, since apparently such appearances are intended to be kept off the record and out of the ears of the public. The Commission's apology suggests that Daily Beast reporter Josh Rogin somehow slipped into the meeting and recorded it, although Rogin has declined to discuss his sources.

A new ABC News/Washington Post poll has good news for Republicans. By 53-39 percent, registered voters would rather see Republicans in control of Congress as a check on Obama. Also, after brief recoveries last month, both the President's and Obamacare's favorables are sinking once again.

There were some great questions in last week's Ask the Blog mailbag. Keep 'em coming.
