What else has Bush accepted responsibility for?

[Poiuyt]

There was something a couple of years ago when people were starting to pile on him. He finally said that since he's head of the federal government, he accepts responsibilty. He said it in kind of a nudge, nudge, wink, wink kind of way (just like today). It was obvious he didn't mean it, but he did it just to get the press off his back. Does anyone remember what that was for? There have been so many mistakes and tales of corruption I loose track.

1. Getting Robin pregnant in 1971.

On CNN's Crossfire on October 20, 2000, Larry Flynt exploded a bombshell: that he has evidence that George W. Bush was "involved in an abortion in Texas" in the early 1970's - when abortions were still illegal.

Here are the details, as reported by Bartcop:

In the winter of 1971 George W. Bush was dating a woman named Robin Lowman (now Robin Garner). Miss Lowman became pregnant by Smirk and he arranged for her to have an abortion - which in the great state of Texas in 1971 was very illegal! Not to mention that George W. is running as a pro-life candidate for the presidency.

The unnamed source of this story, was a friend of Robin Lowman's and the girlfriend of the man who arranged the abortion. His name is Robert Carl Chandler. Chandler is a Bush friend and supporter from way back and he made the arrangements for Miss Lowman's abortion at the Twelve Oaks Hospital in Houston, TX (now the Bayou City Medical Center). The source overheard the call by Mr. Chandler to arrange the abortion and the source visited Robin Lowman at the Twelve Oaks Hospital after the procedure.

The source meanwhile, is afraid of coming forward, saying that she was threatened by Chandler and another Bush friend and supporter named Jim Bath. Bath has longstanding intelligence connections, and played a role in the BCCI scandal. Robin Lowman (now Garner) is married to Jerry Lee Garner who is an FBI agent.

So, that's the story: an illegal back room abortion arranged by the Republican party Presidential candidate who is running on a pro-life ticket.

Well, at least his family assumed the responsibility of arranging and paying for the abortion, but one could assume that George, as a member of that family, took "responsibility." To what degree remains to be seen.

5. There was some political incident

He might as well have said, "What are you going to do about it?"

6. He hasn't taken responsibility for ANYTHING.

Didn't you hear the caveat: IF the American government is found to be responsible. I'm sure his kangaroo court will proudly announce *'s complete innocence any day now. :puke:
