Howard Dean: Katrina Deaths Bush's Fault (Lousy Headline - great quotes!)

(gack that is one nasty "news" source!)

excerpt:

"The Bush administration just went back to turning into a dumping ground for people who evidently didn't have anything else to do," Dean told the Fox News Channel's Alan Colmes on Tuesday.

"And it's really too bad because now people have paid for that with their lives," he added.

When Colmes reminded him that Bush said he accepted personal responsibility for any federal shortcomings in the response to Katrina, Dean shot back:

"But there's a lot of people dead and there's a lot of people without their homes. Those people needed help on time. They didn't need help and somebody to take responsibility two weeks after the fact."

1. Taking responsibility is an action, not an empty phrase

Bush thinks that just because he said it, everyone should get off his back. He hasn't taken responsibility for a goddamn thing.

2. IMO I think the headline is just fine.

Newsmax is just about the only RW site I go to, mainly because the ads there are a crackup. I also like to tell RW'ers that it is ok for a parody site, but it could use some work if it wanted to be as good as whitehouse.org or Betty Bowers.

3. Ah, Betty. Now, there's our girl.

4. Sister Betty is my favorite Christian.

5. completely off the topic

But newsmax is a horrid site.

Ads all over the place, a statement "Story continues below" when all that appears below are ads and if you try to go anywhere else the want to sign you up--I'm assuming to sell your e-mail address off.

6. He took qualified responsibility

and that responsibility was already there. Not only is he the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES he has amassed almost complete power in the executive branch. Of course he is responsible. Sigh, once again W gets some credit for simply stating what everyone already knew.
