Long long ago in an era far far away

Georgie Bush promised the restoration of personal responsibility to the White House.

March 14, 2007 - Back in 2000, George W. Bush campaigned on a promise to restore what he called “the responsibility era” in American politics. As he crisscrossed the country, he pledged to ring down the curtain on the moral vagaries of the Clinton years—a time when the reigning philosophy was, as he described it, “If it feels good, do it. And if you’ve got a problem, blame somebody else.”
But now, in the seventh year of his presidency, President Bush seems to be having trouble taking responsibility for his own conversations with his cabinet officials. At a press conference with the Mexican president Wednesday, Bush was asked about his talks with his old friend Alberto Gonzales about the U.S. attorneys who were fired. The president suggested he was merely a go-between, passing messages from members of Congress to the attorney general.

I guess being out of the loop is genetic.
