Bush accepts responsibility for Federal response

[llad12]

I wonder who'll take responsibility for the negro response--you know, the raping and looting and general mayhem.

Oh yeah, Whitey.

As I have said before, the "Mississippi Burning" mindset still exists in this country. Today, it is generally spoken only in whispers in the backrooms, bars, and alleys. But in some, the fear and hatred surfaces ... even here.

Very disappointing Steve ...

Why, is that some sorta "sexist" remark Jman?

Well, I never thought of Dick Morris as sexist, but whatever floats your boat.

No doubt you didn't like his liberal "LBJ Great Society" ideas suddenly mixed in with massive expenditures. Fiscal conservatism in this administration, however, has been a joke from day one.

Truer words... I hope he's stronger on the empowerment zone stuff than on the dumping money part, but the EZ has already drawn libbie/union fire.

Placing Karl Rove in charge of overseeing the reconstruction efforts, a man with no experience in that field and currently under investigation in the Plame affair, is just another example of why Bush isn't fit to be POTUS.

Your citation about Rove being actively investigated? However, I'd tend to think that Rove shouldn't be put in a "mover & shaker" role either.

To me, his speech seemed more about fixing his declining popularity. If so, then it was probably too little, too late ... again

Get back to me in a year. It has a good chance of being regarded as masterful, if he doesn't screw the pooch (and things keep going well in Iraq).

Someone also needs to tell him not to wear a blue shirt in a blue background ...

Yeah, I thought of one of the bobble-head dolls when I first saw an excerpt.

Wilkipedia ...

In September 2003, the CIA requested that the Justice Departmentinvestigate the matter.[57] Rove was identified by the New York Times in connection to the Plame leak on 2 October 2003, in an article that both highlighted Attorney GeneralJohn Ashcroft's employment of Rove in three previous political campaigns and which pointed to Ashcroft's potential conflict of interest in investigating Rove. In recusing himself from the case two months later, Ashcroft named Deputy Attorney General James Comey, to be "acting attorney general" for the case ...

On 13 August 2005 journalist Murray Waas reported that Justice Department and FBI officials had recommended appointing a special prosecutor to the case because they felt that Rove had not been truthful in early interviews, withholding from FBI investigators his conversation with Cooper about Plame and maintaining that he had first learned of Plame's CIA identity from a journalist whose name Rove could not recall. In addition, then-Attorney General John Ashcroft, from whose prior campaigns Rove had been paid $746,000 in consulting fees, had been briefed on the contents of at least one of Rove's interviews with the FBI - raising concerns of a conflict of interest with the not-yet-recused Attorney General.

Uh, I guess I'm a bit skeptical of the tales of a liberal blogger whose story in the Village Voice seems to consist of extensive heavy breathing and wishful thinking. Of course the Dems are screaming for Rove's head on a platter; when have they stopped?

I thought this was the sort of underhanded, duplicitous garbage you were so scornful about being used against BJ. Wrong again, wasn't I?

You asked about a link and I supplied it.

Now it seems you just want to rant on ... ... about said investigations into Karl's alleged involvement in the Plame affair.

Tch Tch ... haven't you strayed afield here?

[Module88]

Fact is ... partisan politics almost always rules.

Tch Tch ... there are better rebuttals than that.

I suppose that's Bush's fault too. :uhhuh:

[llad12]

I suppose that's Bush's fault too. :uhhuh:

A la contraire, it is Bush's advantage.

[Module88]

A la contraire, it is Bush's advantage.

So it is his fault, but works to his advantage?

[jimmyboy]

If Bush has learned his lesson and is truly sorry, had he purged any other inexperience officials he had appointed during his tenure?

Or do we wait for another fiasco?

Or should we presume that Michael Moore was the only incompetent official Bush had appointed?

[llad12]

So it is his fault, but works to his advantage?

Perhaps the fault is yours ...
