Hey, do you smell flying bacon?

Bush Admits Responsibility.

I'll let that sink in for a minute. Not that it's won me over, by a long shot, but it's about fucking time.

Went for a walk at lunch. Found some guy's wallet outside of Boston Market. Handed it to the manager on duty. In retrospect, I could probably have dialed 411 on my cell phone, gotten the guy's number, and left him a message, or called the cops myself.

Still need to rent a wood chipper. Preferably one big enough to digest a 200 pound redneck, albeit unburdened by a conscience or sense of honor. [note: this is not, in fact, a reference to GWB]

Wow. What a bunch of spin. I smell fear, not contrition. He finally seems to understand that the shit he pulls may influence the elections the next time around. I mean really. Compare it to his statement of "Brownie, yer doin' a heck of a job". How clueless can one person be? Does he honestly think everyone is going to believe this flip flop of his? And he had that audacity to say Kerry was a waffler.

I agree... this is damage control, not actual acceptance of accountability.

Jon Stewart compared Bush's current situation to Clinton's MonicaGate - a situation wherein many Democrats had to either condemn Clinton's poor judgement for his sexual activities (which, IMO, really aren't anyone's business other than his and Hilary's) or risk losing their own credibility; now, Stewart feels, many Repugnicans have a similar choice. (Stewart goes on to say that the only real difference is that tens of thousands of innocent people weren't stranded in Monica Lewinsky's vagina.)

"Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said some military aircraft and other equipment may be able to move out of the Gulf Coast soon. 'We've got to the point where most if not all of the search and rescue is completed,' said Rumsfeld."

Does this mean we're going to have Shrub on the deck of a Coast Guard rescue boat, floating down Bourbon Street, under a 'Mission Accomplished' banner?

As for the accusations of Kerry being a waffler... even taking into account that some of the quotes here (http://www.onlisareinsradar.com/archives/001279.php) are taken out of context, this Daily Show clip transcends humor and exposes Bush plainly for doing exactly what he said he wouldn't do before he was elected...
