A few seconds of footage can become a political Rorschach test. Some viewers see regret; others see hypocrisy, confusion or a convenient symbol for everything they already believe. But how much can we really know about a stranger from a brief expression? The more interesting question is why millions of people are so eager to assign that expression a meaning.
