Accountability Moment

Apparently, our boy George has completely washed his hands of any responsibility for all that went wrong in his first term. In a recent interview, Bush claimed that the 2004 elections were an “accountability moment”. In other words, the elections were the voters’ one and only chance to hold him accountable for anything.

W. says the voters looked at both candidates, fully aware of all the mistakes made in the Iraq War and elsewhere, and still chose him. Therefore, with the election win in November, his slate is wiped clean and he gets a fresh start. I guess the voters just should have been more alert. That was Bush’s accountability moment-and it has come and gone.
