Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word (An Ongoing Saga)
Here's part of a press release from John Edwards that Daily Kos has posted:

You know, there's news from London today. The British just came out with their intelligence report on the failures and the mistakes of the intelligence with respect to Iraq. And there was an interesting response from their Prime Minster. Tony Blair didn't run from the reform, he didn't try to not acknowledge it. Instead, what Tony Blair said was, I take full responsibility for the mistakes. It's because he understands what leadership is. John Kennedy did exactly the same thing after the Bay of Pigs. He said I take full responsibility - I am the public servant responsible for this.

And Kos's commentary:

Instead of a real leader, we have a president that thinks he's infallible and has never made a mistake. A president that is never at fault for anything. A president that falls off his bike in Crawford, and blames it on rain that fell 10 days prior. A president that has never, ever, bought into his own rhetoric about "personal responsibility".

Amen to that, brother.
