Huh? He did? That's what I hear from the media, and that's what I even heard from Bush. But what exactly is he taking responsibility for?
Bush was asked about the mis-information - the now infamous "16 words" - in his State of the Union speech and whether or not he was taking responsibility for those words. Pardon me, but would that be those 16 words Bush said were in his speech because of British intelligence, the CIA and George Tenet, Condoleeza Rice, Steven Hadley, et al? So Bush said he always takes responsibility for what he says
. Was Bush admitting those words were inaccurate and should not have been in the speech even after repeatedly pointing to the British and their continued vouching for that information? Was he offering an apology? Just when did Bush reach the conclusion he needed to "take responsibility" for those words? After all his attempts to convince us we should accept their validity even in the face of growing skepticism or before he and his people started pointing to everyone else in the mad rush to pass the hot potato?
Confused? You've just entered the Twilight Zone where politicians take responsibility without ever taking responsibility. You know, the same weird landscape Janet Reno wandered off into when she took responsibility for the tragedy at Waco by staying in office for almost 8 years. "I'm responsible, now shut up so I can do my job (which includes taking responsibility?)"!
Was Bush also taking responsibility for the weeks he spent avoiding responsibility with claims that "we've found bio-labs", "the British stand by their intelligence", "Saddam was harboring Al-Qaida", blah blah blah? I usually don't give a **** what foreigners think of the US, but we better find those WMD.
I'll tell you, I'm getting tired of this guy. He reminds me of Bill Clinton, which is ironic because I thought the chasm between them wrt honesty was vast. It was truly pathetic seeing this clown wear that smirk while telling us how he "takes responsibility".

maybe Ann Coulter is right...
Funny stuff there in their weekly Top 10 Conservative Idiots list...though at the same time disturbing because it is all fact. 
And yes, Fez, non-Republicans have made appearances in the lists before.
