Richard Shelby said the buck does NOT stop with the president!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[julka]

swear to god!

he just made the most amazing mistake, didn't he?

from now on, all the dems have to do is ask EVERY pug, over and over, where the buck stops. does it stop with the president, or not?

if not, WHERE? Cheney? Powell? Rice? Tenet? DeLay? Hastert?
Schwarzenegger? Newt? Bo Derek? Fess Parker?

[Pepperbelly]

1. almost it ... instead ask, Where does the buck stop, Georgie?

:D

[julka]

2. he was on Lou Dobbs

the intetview woman seemed quite surprised at this response.

he started in on the "16 words" meme.

they're so predictable

no corpse pictures, though.


maybe he didn't get to his fax machine yet.

3. Fess is dead.

In truth, the Republican buck stops in their pockets.

5. '04 election: Harry Truman v. Dubya

4. In *'s case the buck stops with Rove.

That is probably what Shelby was thinking.

6. If AWOL won't take responsibility

then what does that say about repug's values????

aren't they the ones that are always harping on people taking responsibility and being held accountable???

or is it just that people OTHER THAN REPUG's have to take responsibility????

[Art_from_Ark]

12. I'm so glad the "party of responsibility" is in charge

NOT!!!!

[RainDog]

7. I heard this too

..and couldn't believe his bullshit. Why didn't that woman go further with her questions, though?

...as in...are you saying that Bush is not responsible for his state of the union address?

...or more importantly, why didn't she mention the Oct speech??

But, yes, according to the Republicans, the only buck that stops with Bush is a campaign contribution.

Shelby is a whore.

[Terwilliger]

8. The buck stops with the traitorous Republican party

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH fuck it!!!!!

Hell, now they're making drugs for people who compulsively shop.

WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!!!!

[indepat]

13. If we get the government we deserve, as I suspect, a lot of national

penitence might be in order.

15. It is axiomatic in a constitutional monarchy....

...that while the King may be misled by venal or incompetent ministers, and may be in error in his own person, the King's Majesty can do no wrong.
