Do you ever notice: Politicians always say "the Process is flawed"
never the elected officials.
never the appointment officials.
never their decisions.
never themselves.
never their government.

Always the process.
Excuse me while I laugh.

1. They're right... the process is usually flawed...
but, as you point out, that's just one small part of the story--and by the way, who's responsible for the flawed process anyway... yes, it's they themselves.

2. if I ever get a speeding ticket, I'll respond "the process is flawed"
seems to work?
"well officer, if this highway had not been so under funded there would
have been more road, fewer cars, I would have been less frustrated and
wouldn't have to put the pedal to the metal..I declare the process of highway construction
to be flawed, so keep the ticket til the process is resolved".

7. ;-)
Hope it works! ;-)

For surely the cretins in charge get away with alot worse with less valid extenuating circumstances.

3. They're right...THEY'RE THE FLAW!
Politicians. Rank right up there with used car salesmen from the bad side of town.

4. The process is flawed
Because they're running the process.

5. people set the process...unless "machines" are doing it
It's so infuriating to hear this time and again "the process is flawed".
Same line they used for Katrina - dead bodies floating on the streets of
New Orleans (fear not, it was merely "the process") :sarcasm:

(P.S - when/if listening to TV news, count how many times you hear the words "the process")

6. As opposed to "We f@cked up?"
Semantics.
