The Bush Tapes
My brother, The Unintentional Blogger, wrote about the secretly taped conversations of President Bush, so I won't repeat much here. It's good to know that Bush recognizes he is, like the rest of us, a sinner and that he doesn't want to single out gays for that reason, although I can't fathom why he'd support a federal constitution amendment when the GOP is supposed to be about less government interference. I think this L.A. Times editorial sums up my biggest problem with Bush in its last line:
"I've sinned and I've learned" becomes his campaign mantra. He tells Wead, and now us, "That's part of my shtick, which is, 'Look, we have all made mistakes.' "
Odd that the same man, once in office, would be incapable of admitting them.

I HATE when reporters or editorialists bring back up the "he doesn't admit he's wrong" thing. The question is such an obvious trap that I applaud Bush for not being fool enough to step into it. Sure, he could answer something that the media won't crucify him for, but then the media will whine that he wasn't as forthcoming with them as he should have been. And if he said something big like "we should have had more troops to begin with", then boy howdy, the press would have a field day. I think the high road is to not play that stupid game to begin with. I cannot honestly believe that people think that Bush thinks he's never made a mistake, but what's the sense in playing the medias game?
I wasn't thinking of reporters, I was thinking of his speeches or anything. He just comes off to me as really arrogant because he never, ever admits he's been wrong in a decision he's made in the White House. That's bothered me for a while now.
