Bush: The Educator-In-Chief
Daily Kos
Excerpt
Following George Bush’s appearance last night on 60 Minutes, CBS put up the transcript of the entire interview by Scott Pelley, kindly cleaning up the worst of Bush’s mangling of the English language. What follows are a few excerpts from that interview, transcribed without the kindness, starting with the understatement of the century:
Pelley: You mention mistakes having been made in your speech
Bush: (nods and smiles) What mistakes are you talking about? Abu Ghraib was a mistake. Using bad language like, ya know, “bring ‘em on,” was a mistake. I think history is going to look back and see a lot of, uh, ways we could’ve done things better. No question about it….
Pelley…the reason I brought up the mistakes, and I, is one, that’s the job of the commander-in-chief, and two, I don’t want people blaming our military. We got a bunch of good military people out there who are doing what we’ve asked them to do. And the temptation is gonna find scapegoats. Well if people want a scapegoat, they’ve got one right here in me. ‘Cause it’s my decisions.
H.L.s Take:
Damn straight we are going to blame you George, but we are not making you a scapegoat. A scapegoat is someone who gets blamed for problems that happened to a whole group of people who were equally at fault. That however is not the case here. You, George are completly at fault. No one else can be blamed. You screwed it up all by yourself, and trust me, you will be blamed, now and forever.
Watch Bush Smirk his way through accusations of him not being an honest President, and the “blame it on me” line. When youb see the look on his face you can tell he is thiniking “OK the jig is up” everyone knows that I am a lying bastard war profiteer who doesn’t give a rats ass about America or its people, you know it and I know it. I am not even going to pretend that I am not anymore. Absolutely sickening.
