Former Aide McClellan Blames Bush, Rove in CIA Case

[Member2019]

Just like when the Clintons left?

There will be a lot of hearings on the Bush camp when they leave office.

Just like they said there would be when the Clintons left?

The next administration will come in and want to move on.
No administration sits around and blames the former administration, they are now "in charge."

No hearings on Loral, the deaths of their business partners and countless other things.

W. didn't blame Clinton for the recession that hit the very first quarter he was in office.
W. didn't blame Clinton for the plummeting economy with massive negative growth in 2000 before he even got in.

W. took blame for everything then onward.
So will whoever gets in as well.

 

[Friday on my mind]

If you noticed, everytime somebody resigns from the Bush administration, they do a interview, write a book or open their mouth saying they had nothing to do with all the fuck ups that have been happening.

They are doing this to go on record so when Bush leaves office, they can use this shit as a alibi to get off. There will be a lot of hearings on the Bush camp when they leave office.

Peace.

I think you will see an unprecedented amount of books by former Bush people trying to save their own position in history and even more importantly to make some money.But no there will be no offical govt hearings when he's gone.Once he's gone the country wants to move on and congress is not about digging up the past as the country don't want to hear it.But I will say it has been republican talking points extending even into Bush's 2nd term to blame Clinton for things.Bush has tried to say the downward turn in the ecnomy started under Clinton and that 9/11 and such was really Clinton's fault for not doing more in the 90s about AL Queda.Many have wondered Mr.Bush just when do you assume responsibility for the conditions we find ourselves in?To say he has practiced the truman type thinking of "the buck stops here" as far as responsibility goes is laughable.

No ...

But I will say it has been republican talking points extending even into Bush's 2nd term to blame Clinton for things.

No, that's only said when Democrats first start throwing stones from inside the glass house.
Like Tom Delay's "the tax cuts caused the recession" (yeah, what kinda response did he get from that? ).

Bush has tried to say the downward turn in the ecnomy started under Clinton and that 9/11 and such was really Clinton's fault for not doing more in the 90s about AL Queda.

And Hillary Clinton's recent push into all sorts of blame against W. for 9/11.

You do not throw stones from inside that glass house.

I've been the first person to fully excuse Clinton from many aspects, if anything, "hindsight."
Furthermore, Clinton did spend his final 2 years trying to fight Al Queda, although he did make some of the Executive Orders in 1998 that W. used after 9/11 that would also make it later into the Patriot Act.

It's only been political pundits that blame the previous administration after it is taunted by them first at the current administration.

Many have wondered Mr.Bush just when do you assume responsibility for the conditions we find ourselves in?To say he has practiced the truman type thinking of "the buck stops here" as far as responsibility goes is laughable.

Actually, he has, at many levels, altough I think he's over-stating reality on many things (which will hit in 2008, before the election).
I'm personally pissed off that he has only started vetoing things now that the Democrats are in, and wish he would have vetoed all the countless Republican pork before.

And, BTW, if there is one dog that should be shot before he utterly makes a total fool of himself (oops, too late), it's Jimmy Carter.
I finally went as far as to suggest 9/11 wouldn't have happened if a Democrat got in.

It's bad enough he's taken credit for what others did (e.g., Gore, Perot, etc... don't get me started).
But he has finally hit the point where reality is escaping his mind.
