The buck stops where?

Our delusional president laments the "intelligence failure" that identified nonexistent WMD in Iraq and admits he was "unprepared" for war.

    Once a lame duck, always a lame duck...

    W has been lame duckin' for years. He should have stuck with his part-ownership of a baseball team. Something he understands and enjoys. Civil service as an elected official (politician) was never his style. Foreign relations were never in his resume no matter how often he attempted to speak Spanish ala "Tex-Mex". It truly is very sad how an intelligent country voted for this man and got taken to the cleaners in just about every respect (wars; economy; 401k's; & the environment). Experience truly is the best teacher and we all just got learned a very valuable lesson. He will ride away into the sunset and cut wood at the ranch for many years.

    I can hardly wait to read W's book written by Uncle Dick.
