Well, John Kerry has finally issued an apology about his botched joke but, the Bush Administration never has on some of the things they have done and said. As this Washington Post article points out:
"Cheney also jumped into the fray, his office so eager that in a rare move it sent out advance excerpts from a speech given later in the day. "Senator Kerry said he was just making a joke and he botched it up,"
Where as the Bush administration only made war in Iraq and BOTCHED that up right Dick!
Meanwhile...
"Bush for the second day took aim at his old foe as well. "It didn't sound like a joke to me," he said in an interview with news services. In a separate interview with radio host Rush Limbaugh, Bush said, "Anybody who is in a position to serve this country ought to understand the consequences of words ..."
Indeed! Let''s roll back the tape to December 20, 2000 when then "President Elect" George Bush said this after meeting with some Congressional leaders:
"I told all four that there were going to be some times where we don't agree with each other. But that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
Well, that does not sound like a joke to me either President Bush!
