The Incompetence Defense

As I understand current White House spin, the reason that Bush said those trailers were mobile weapons labs when they weren’t, was because the President didn’t know. Because key information about vital national interests, for which American lives were (and are) being risked, had not yet reached the President, so whoops whatever.

Can any other Presidency in history have found this an acceptable version of the facts? Would not most politicians prefer some form of blame than to stand up in front of the American people and the world and say “I’m really flipping stupid and I didn’t know the facts I needed to know, the facts that every President must know?”

The White House is counting on the fact that we elected him stupid, we approved of him (when we did) stupid, and so now we’ll continue to embrace the stupid. They’re wrong.

    At least he admits to beeing stupid but someone should have told him that
    he didn’t have to tell the world cause the whole world knows that he is an idiot.

    LOL! I don’t even think he realizes that’s what he’s admitting.
