Excerpt:

The goodbyes are beginning for Sen. Daniel Akaka (uh-KAH'-kuh), who will retire when the lame-duck session ends after 36 years in the U.S. Senate. Akaka was the first Native Hawaiian in the Senate and first Native person to chair the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. He has held 43 hearings over two years as chairman. Fellow senators on Thursday lauded the Hawaii Democrat for his work for Indian Country. The hearing focused on preserving Native cultures and identities. Akaka grew emotional before dropping the gavel for the last time. Rather than goodbye, he said: "It is with much aloha that I say to you now, 'a hui hou' (ah hoo-EE' HOH'-oo), see you again." Aloha is a Hawaiian greeting that also means love and care.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
