On the September 11 edition of NBC's syndicated The Chris Matthews Show, New York Times columnist David Brooks revealed that he has learned from private conversations with Bush officials who "represent" what "Bush believes" that from its earliest days, the Bush administration adopted a policy of shielding itself from political damage by never publicly admitting any mistake -- even if it meant lying to the media and the American public. The fact that Bush doesn't admit mistakes has been reported by the media for years. For instance, in the September 11 edition of The New York Times, David Sanger reported, "Mr. Bush, his aides acknowledge, is loath to fire members of his administration or to take public actions that are tantamount to an admission of a major mistake." Brooks himself has previously noted the Bush administration's unwillingness to admit to mistakes. But what Brooks's September 11 account adds is that Bush is being intentionally dishonest -- in Brooks's words, "totally tactical and totally insincere" -- in resisting such public admissions and in blaming others when failures are too obvious to deny.
God this is the worst administration ever! They decided before they ever even made their first mistake that they were never going to admit it to the public. This makes me believe that they knew all along that they were going to fuck things up! I mean when I start a job I usually believe that I will make some small mistakes but that overall I am going do a great job.
If you knew that you were going to be a screw-up, then why take the job? This is not a job as a plumber. "Sorry lady I forgot to tighten that connection. My bad." This is President of the United States of America! There is no more important job in the world! George Bush had a moral obligation to not seek this responsibility if he knew going in that he was going to make devastating mistakes! He is the Goddamn devil!
