"I love this man," enthused Rabbi Edward Cohn of Los Angeles. And as if to complete his portrayal of a perfectly penitent sinner, Clinton promised to seek "pastoral support and help from others." What could be missing from the apology this time round? Only the timing. With House members voting to release the Starr report just hours after the prayer breakfast, it wasn't too little, but it may have...
