By LAUREN MARKOE -- Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — President Bush this week said that radio commentator Armstrong Williams was right to fault himself for taking $240,000 to promote No Child Left Behind, the centerpiece of Bush’s education policy.

But Bush found no fault with his Education Department, which suggested the arrangement and paid Williams the money.

“I appreciated him being forthcoming about the fact that he thought he was wrong to take the money and do what he did,” Bush told reporters.

3. Wrong to accept a bribe, but OK to offer one?

Shifty like a Star Wars villian...

4. The most sickening thing is how...

Bush supporters - those people who actually voted for this man and hiscruddy crew - can actually accept this wrong-doing with never a twinge of guilt yet they can lambast Clinton eternally for a private act. Can we list the lies told by the Bush administration side by side with those of the Clinton administration? I know which side would be most heavily weighted.

12. Bush has no "supporters," only followers. n/t

5. Again, the logic is illogical. I cannot believe we have done this to

ourselves and our country. This bad dream will not end. It blew me away last week to hear that while Iraq did not have WMD, they had the ability to make them. Kind of like throwing somebody in jail as a terrorist. If later they are determined not, in fact, to be a terrorist, certainly they had the ability to be one, right?

6. We have now officially entered into the world of Orwell ~

Animal Farm & 1984 are coming true!!

I am on my way to eBay to find copies of these books to reread them,,,,

7. We've been here for awhile

they are just starting to get bolder.

[snippy]

13. True, and it has turned out that Orwell was way too optimistic. n/t

Serpent NOT responsible for offering Eve the Apple. EVE is guilty of taking apple.

Must be part of that new chapter of Acts that the Amway gal has gotten ahold of.

11. Exactly!

The arrogance of this administration knows no bounds and is making my head explode!

[AP]

14. But does he say that it was wrong for him to offer Armstrong the $?

What an excellent example of the buck not stopping here!

Bush gave him that money, but it was wrong of Armstrong Williams to accept it.

And who in the world is going to reject an offer of 240k from the Fed gov't! If they're giving you money, I think you're going to presume that it's legal. They are the goverment, after all.

15. Only W would pay someone who already agrees with him to agree with him

A real "businessman" huh?

[AP]

18. But the only reason Williams agrees with him is because Williams

thinks there will be some sort of private financiall reward for "agreeing."

If not for the private financial reward, Williams might just say the truth about Republican policies, which is that they don't work.

16. blah blah blah, now they are hiring more 'armstrong williams' to shill

the ss story.

17. He is fucking out of his mind. It's okay to bribe people, but not okay

to take a bribe? Does that mean that people who offer to sell drugs are also not at fault?

[Teaser]

19. You FUCKING gave him the money dipshit.

So the whore is guilty while the john is innocent?

God I had president fucktard. I'd been having a good few weeks, but this is too much.
