Newsweek Aftermath: The Bush Mea Culpa Watch
May 17, 2005
As the Bush administration heaps scorn on Newsweek magazine for its Koran desecration story, it's worth remembering the President's own words during his April 13, 2004 press conference last year. Asked to name his biggest mistake, a modest (and incoherent) Bush responded:
"I'm sure something will pop into my head here...maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one."
With the White House and its conservative media goose-steppers pressuring Newsweek for an apology, I thought I might help President Bush keep track of his own:
Well done! This should be seen everywhere. I'm stealing this entire post, pretty much. I'll use it tomorrow.
But unlike Bush, I'll say I'm sorry right now.
By all means, steal away!
One request: link back to http://www.perrspectives.com/blog/archives/000171.htm, if possible.
Brilliant!
You are stolen from and properly linked to, good sir, at Pam's House Blend and Radical Writ (my blog, where you've also been blogrolled.)
If it's no problem with you, I'll be committing some blatant thievery too. But I'll be sure to admit it and will provide attribution and a link.
Good work!!! (As always.)
Excellent Jon!
What about a category for "Stealing 2000 election"?
Since 16 May, a lot of people have collaborated the gist of the Newsweek account.
I have over 20 total links here, 12 of which are news links, and the remainder analysis and opinion. http://www.tsujiru.net/?p=127
Just in case it interests you. Best,

Excellent. Swiped and linked to at my pathetic weblog, too.
