Smart move. There is only much patience going around for people who say that all was A-OK or that there will be time for blame later, as had been the party line. Making the buck stop is a lot different and a lot better than avoiding or even labelling it blame. Good move.

- From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.
- Some writings and other junk of little real interest unless you like law or are a Crow.
A display of hideous graphics focused on the goal of figuring out where the smokestack I can see to the south is sitting.

Does this mean that the FEMA guy takes the blame?
So, taking responsibility without taking blame sounds like either childish, or like the result of quite a bit of legal advice.

If I was a legal adviser to Bush, I'd recommend to not mention that Brown guy - simply neglect, do as if he never existed.
Because, after all, we right now still remember the "Brownie you're doing a heck-uv-a-job".

Sympathy ploy. He has very little to lose by doing this since he can't be re-elected.
His acceptance of responsibility and admitting the lack of adequate facilities to cover this disaster and terror attacks (he just had to throw that dead horse in there) sort of makes me think his entire time in office has been for naught.

Has it been more libertarian than we have thought? Smaller government good. Smaller military force in theatre and smaller emergency preparedness still good? What else is smaller and more libertarian?
