Don't take it personally. Soon enough someone else will walk by and they'll unleash at them too, you won't stay the flavour of the month for long. Politics 101, keep your paper trail and keep your dignity (don't apologise ever again for being the victim !). Meanwhile, since it sounds like you're not a political creature, just wait for their inevitable implosion.
