Too true. I've been admitting responsibility for all sort of fuck ups for years. Its actually a great way to look like you've got backbone and make people believe you're a stand up guy. Shit, I've taken responsibility for stuff I didn't even do to make myself look like someone who was trying extra hard, but just fucked up in the process.
Nobody ever accuses you of not giving a shit when you accept responsibility.
That said, I'm not the president of anything, and Bush's late mea culpa is a day late and a dime short. Its also pathetic because the guy running the country shouldn't be using transparant slacker tricks. He's convincing me more and more that he really doesn't give a shit about what he's doing and is bored.
In a sense, Bush is like us. He's a moderately bright guy who doesn't want to do the work, finds it dull, but likes the money (in his case, power) it brings. President Lawtalker.
We. Are. Fucked.
ETA: Shit, he even bites off more than he can chew and tries things he knows are doomed just to see if he can pull them off. (See: SS Reform, Iraq). He's exactly like me - I'll argue crazy shit to a judge just to ssee if I can put a Spruce Goose argument in the air. Holy lord... I think I just figured out W. Worse, I think I "feel" the son of a bitch...
