Taking "Responsibility" means nothing without consequences. Nothing!!!!

[JanMichael]

Or worse yet it means jack shit if the behavior, decisions, one is playing sorry for continue.

Like for instance a married man cheating on his spouse...If he took the Bushco route the "apology" would go something like this...

"Ok honey, I take full responsibility for sleeping with your sister. I was mislead by her tits, they were fake, who knew? I was also mislead, like you were, about her intentions. However things are going great with her now, she's been promoted at work, so let's stay the course. I'll keep screwing her and you'll be ok with that. Support your man, he's honest about his mistakes, and that's all that matters. I've taken responsibility for my actions. However knowing what I know now I'd still fuck her even with the fake boobs, fake tan, and the fact she's your baby sister. Now go get some dinner ready for us, your sis' will be here at 7pm. Love you baby!"

What follows should be the sound of a foot kicking an ass out the door.

No (NEGATIVE) consequences means zip...

1. In my opinion, Chimp confessed. So he ought to be tried and imprisoned.

2. He now admits he would make the same decisions..

even knowing the tits were fake and it was his sister in law.

5. It was a Judith Miller apology

Judith said last week she was "sorry our intelligence was wrong".

She said she was "sorry her sources were almost all wrong".

It wasn't an apology is was plain, old-fashioned scapegoating. That's all Bush* was doing. Scapegoating again....he isn't responsible for a damned thing.
