When Sen. Joe Biden (D-Delaware) apologized for his appearance during a Senate floor speech this evening, busy scribes here in the press gallery looked up in curiosity.

He was in a tuxedo, he explained, because he tonight is attending a congressional dinner and did not expect to be outlining his bill at such a late hour.
