So it sounds like Bush is going to step down, right?

[4_Legs_Good]

I mean he has said he's responsible for any lack of response to Katrina by the Federal government. That has to mean that he'll step down and submit to criminal prosecution, right?

right?

Or is it possible that he's just making a meaningless gesture?

:shrug:

1. Meaningless Gestures (TM) are his trademark, I thought....

Nightweed's Hurricane Katrina Aid Organizations

[Proud_Lefty]

2. His way out of being investigated

He admits fault and vows to get to the bottom of it - no need for outside investigation. These guys won't go away that easy. Just can't imagine it.

3. What are you trying to do,

drive me into hysterical happiness?

[spinbaby]

4. You are so funny

He just wants to get Katrina out of the way so he can bomb Iran.

[LiberalEsto]

11. Next: Did Iranians bomb the levees?

what a perfect pretext that would be!

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

13. The administration strongly supects that is the case.

[hogwyld]

17. Intelligence indicates....

Iran and Syria not only destroyed our levees, but have WMD's and are linked to 9/11. Con-di to present evidence to U.N. Where 'o where have I seen this act before?

[jokerman93]

18. Mmm

Now THERE's an idea for a reality show. Someone get Karl on the phone and set up a meeting!

[sui generis]

5. specifically he said that

he takes responsibility "To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right"

He is not taking responsibility for his poor judgement in putting forward inexperienced payola appointees to critical positions responsible for the lives and welfare of Americans.

Michael Brown is butt-stupid, there's no changing that. If you were the president and you put a pet rock in charge of a federal agency, YOU are responsible for the failures of that agency, and that is exactly what happened here.

He's not taking ANY responsbility for how things got there, where the real fault lies, just "To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right".

6. Having a corrupt

whitehouse investigate itself for corruption.*that;s just sick!*.Oops all are innocent, fancy that .some low ranking rotten apple in a barrel again..it's not any one of our high ranking cronies fault!Ooh Never US we are perfect..!

These people have no conscience,,they need to go NOW,but since they think they are above reproach and cannot see the shamefulness of their own actions and agendas..How will they realize they need to get out? They will have to be made to go.They are corrupted and blinding themselves to their own failure to pretend to be winners. The whitehouse is full of morally inferior sociopaths

[4_Legs_Good]

9. Yeah, but if Brown resigned because he didn't do his job

and then George Jr. claims responsibility, then it follows as does the night day that George Jr. must resign.

7. Nope. He just said his response to Katrina was "Extraordinary"

8. If he does step down, it's likely because he is tired of doing his job.

For him, thinking, walking, and talking are difficult! Especially when you have to do it for someone else's benefit!

"Man," he'll say. "I'm tired of the bullshit."

Then to the press: "You won't have George Bush to kick around anymore!"

[watercolors]

14. Don't think George really wants this job

I'm hoping he steps down, its really too much work for him, and we don't apreciate how hard he works! Keeping my fingers crossed he goes back to crawford where he belongs. After all we all know its the DICKHEAD running the show!

[cliss]

21. Yes, you could be right.

I think Bush is tired of all this shit, and lying, and getting up there and stammering and stuttering, and having the people laugh at you and imply that you're an idiot.

He's probably immensely tired of all the shit going on in Iraq. Particularly since our US troops are helping establish an Islamic state over there.....can't feel too good now can it George?

Besides, the public treasury is looted.....empty. (some moths fly out). The trough has run dry. Maybe there are some other countries that still are flush with cash?

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

10. He's going to step on down to the ranch in Crawford

fer another well-desserved vacation.

:sarcasm:

[Pepper32]

12. Doubt it. He is just trying to appear honorable to his base

Hoping they will forgive him. I mean how can you kick a man while he's down, right? Whatever chimpy, it's NOT going to work, get your ass up we have only begun to deal with you. :grr:

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. "Doesn't work for me, I gotta have more cowbell!"

[applegrove]

15. No. He has admitted one mistake so far in a totally failed presidency.

One.

[hippiegranny]

16. the focus groups were adamant

he needs to take ownership for this one - too many people saw it with their own eyes. there is no other way out of this. so he does the aw shucks, we messed up, routine and the base (plus some) forgives him.

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. He escapes accountability and responsibility in this manner.

[FreedomAngel82]

22. Uh no

I don't think so. Not this guy. Only way it'd happen is if "the powers that be" told him to by some sort of threat or something. I'm not holding my breath.
