Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Knoll apologizes for upsetting fallen marine’s family
It was a very Durbin-esque apology. Essentially: I apologize if you were offended, but I’m not sorry for what I said.
In fact, if you read this piece that discusses the ‘apology’ no where does she actually apologize for expressing her views at the funeral:
Knoll said that Sgt. Goodrich’s military service “was beyond the call of duty. If my regard for his family’s grief was seen another way, it is thoroughly regrettable. The fact that you have been offended deserves and receives my most profound apology.”
I guess that is the best we can hope for in terms of sincerity. As long as the family of Marine Staff Sgt. Joseph Goodrich is content with it, I will be too.

I note she has a “policy” of showing up at funerals without invitation, and her staff did not indicate this was being re-considered.
Ghoul.
I can’t imagine showing up at the funeral of someone I didn’t even know uninvited.
