Kimon: Yeah he "apologized" and said he'd take responsibility. But like I said, when he screws up, people die. The responsibility he takes means nothing to him because nothing happens.
Lets say I commited plagarism in a book report. I later felt really, really bad, admitted the academic dishonesty and said "I take full responsibility." You know what would happen? The prof would think thats just noble as the dickens but I'd still get a zero and I'd still have to rewrite the report.
Meanwhile, Bush admits: "I really screwed the pooch on this one. Thousands died. Hundreds of billions of dollars of property damage also resulted because of my ignorance and grave mismanagement. I take full responsibility."
So what is his punishment? Impeachment for felony endangerment? Does he resign? Does he take a pay cut and stop taking multi-week vacations every third month? No, he takes for responsibility, and nothing happens. Its b.s.
Also, half the reason we are in this situation is because Bush let Mike Brown run FEMA. He worked for the Bush campaign and got the plum job even though he never had experience running disaster programs and was in fact a horse judge. And who gets to clean up the mess? Karl Rove, the deputy campaign runner for Bush who, just like Brown, doesn't know the first thing about managing FEMA.
