Bush: 'I take responsibility'

Damn.

This guy always takes the moral high ground. Impressive.

Taking responsibility would require him to make up for the damage he's responsible for. If that is not possible, he should resign.

Sure. The fact of the matter is that he is openly claming responsibility for the (lack of) federal response. That is impressive. Show me ONE democrat who has ever done that.. .

Oh wait.. that's right, BJ Clinton accepted responsibility for lying under oath and cheating on his wife and disgracing the oval office.

There's a difference between admitting guilt and doing something about it. Saying "Yeah, it was me" would only be an honorable thing to say if you would also accept responsibility and took what ever repercussions you deserve for your mistakes. Otherwise, the attitude of "Yeah I did it... What you gonna do about it?!!" is hardly the moral high ground. Bill Clinton disgraced the oval office with a blow job... and he was fired for his mistake. When your fuck up includes causing thousands of deaths, maybe jail time for manslaughter might be appropriate in addition to being shit canned.

Bill Clinton wasn't fired.

Contrary to a popular public misconception, Clinton was successfully impeached (that is, the House did successfully send him to be tried by the Senate). He was not, however, successfully convicted of any of the charges (which is why he was not removed from office), nor was he given any penalty (beyond the censure of the House of Representatives).

Yep, you're right.

Face it, a conservative, espcially Bush can do NO right in your eyes.

First let's put BJ Clinton in jail for lying to a judge, then I'll consider Bush.

What "right" has he done here exactly? If I ran over your foot, and admitted that it was me who did it, would that make you feel any better? In what way has he taken responsibility? Perhaps my eyes missed him accepting repercussions of any kind.

The shotgun blast rips into the stray dog's midsection, sending it tumbling over and over. Agonizing yelps echo through the streets as it tries to reach and bite at the gaping wound. Minutes later, the dog is dead. Authorities have been killing the dogs since November, trying to prevent the spread of disease and attacks on residents.

This is the first headline story about Iraq I've seen on CNN in a long time... And it's about authorities shooting dogs.

wtf?

Having been surrounded by a pack of feral dogs bent on eating me... I gotta say this is probably necessary, under the circumstances. Packs of feral dogs are mean like wolves.

Killing the dogs? Or making it a front-page story?

I was caught up on the fact it was front-page story. That seemed, well, a bit disconnected from the reality of the world..

I learned something about myself, and about people, from lepers in India. After 4 months the lepers didn't bother me. I gave them money or food regularly, but I got used to them limbless in the mud.

But the dogs eaten up with disease and no hair, or the puppies in traffic... I never got over those. I still feel guilty for not rescuing this one puppy in Bangalore.
