In better worlds, you'd be investigated, or even jailed, for such failures of leadership. Fucked up as he was, Nixon had the balls (or is it maybe the spine?) to "take responsibility" for his screwup in the only sense that matters. <BR/><BR/>But in the days of the 'Integritude' Misadministration, taking responsibility means that, for once, you accept that a mistake has been made. You do not, however, accept what that entails. Ergo, you keep warming the seat you're into. The thought of going and making place for someone else, better qualified, never crosses their minds. Their vile lips just mutter the string of sounds, "I take responsibility"--nothing more. Donnie Rumsfeld "took responsibility" for Abu Ghraib, but I haven't seen him leaving the Pentagon. Preznit Lawn Ornament brought himself to say the magic words, but that's about all you can expect him to do.<BR/><BR/>Well, we have no goddamn use for a meaningless phrase. Be a man and assume responsibility in the only sense that matters: leave! <BR/><BR/>But what the hell is this inert people doing these days? Why don't they ask GameBoy and his cronies to make good on this phrase?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
