"It's been a very busy and somewhat disturbing day throughout the world. President Bush was overseas in Germany as events unfolded.

"It's hard to say you're sorry, especially when you're infallible. But by last weekend, Benedict offered these words of apology. He's sorry that people felt bad.

"According to the latest poll, Bush's approval rating has rebounded to 40% -- the highest level in a year. The White House says it's thrilled that Bush has gone from an overwhelming dislike to a general dislike." --Conan O'Brien
