Lies, Lies, Karl Rove LIES: "Bush Takes Responsibility for Blunders"
I'd like to see a show of hands from ANYONE on DU who BELIEVES THIS BULLSHIT.

You have my WORD that I will NOT reply to you if you say that this BULLSHIT is true.

I JUST NEED TO KNOW. JUST BE HONEST. Say that you BELIEVE BUSH and I swaer that I WILL NOT REPLY TO YOU.

Why would you GIVE A FUCK what I think, anyway. BE HONEST.

I just need to know how many people BELIEVE THIS KARL ROVE BULLSHIT. I need to KNOW how many people think that this WORTHLESS, OEDIPAL, SUBSTANCE_ABUSING FUCK who STOLE OUR presidential election "accepts responsibility."

So if you're a cowardly lurking POS freeper, RAISE YOU'RE FUCKING HAND. I won't attack you. I won't reply to you. You can STROKE your "president" with COMPLETE FREDOM in my thread, and I will ALERT THE MODS to ANYONE who ATTACKS YOU.

I...just..FUCKING...NEED...TO...KNOW.

And if you're a D.I.N.O., show your hands too.

Show your hands, and if you believe it's TRUE, I put my REPUTATION on the LINE...I WILL NOT reply to you.

WASHINGTON -
President Bush for the first time took responsibility Tuesday for federal government mistakes in dealing with Hurricane Katrina and suggested the calamity raised broader questions about the government's ability to handle both natural disasters and terror attacks.

"Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government," Bush said at a joint White House news conference with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani.

"And to the extent that the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility. I want to know what went right and what went wrong," said Bush.

Facing sharp criticism and the lowest approval ratings of his presidency, Bush scheduled a speech to the nation from Louisiana for Thursday evening. It will be his fourth trip to the devastated Gulf Coast since the storm struck two weeks ago. It was the closest Bush has come to publicly faulting any federal officials involved in the hurricane response, which has been widely criticized as disjointed and slow. Some federal officials have sought to blame state and local officials for being unprepared to cope with the disaster.

2. Classic Rove-ism...
Or, if you want to get technical about it, Straussism. "Looka me! I'm responsible! Just don't axe me a-what I'ma do 'bout it! Now watch this drive!"

9. Well in order to take responsibility..
you have to understand what the word means and he doesn't. I hope that Americans are smart enough to see this for what it is - politically motivated empty words meant to reverse the loss of the base or at prevent any more loss. However I do think that they've peaked on suckering their base and some independents and are starting to go down the hill. Probably not fast enough for most of us but I've not seen them have to scramble as much as they have lately. The usual response of druggie limbaugh, o'really et al didn't fly this time. People tend to get upset when the news of elderly folks left to drown and other equally appalling events come to light.
