Can bush use the 'Goodling Maneuver' & say "I didn't mean to"?

[Philosoraptor]

In all my wicked days I have never heard any adult use those four words in a treasonous situation like this, 'sure, I subverted the law of the land to stack the deck with religio/fascists like myself and uncle pat robbertson, yes, I helped these Nazis conquer our government and yes I was involved in an attempt to turn America into a strict born again theocracy, but, I didn't mean to'.

Can bush use this 'excuse'? Sure, I started an unnecessary war, I sent 3,500 soldiers to early graves, I made billions in profits, I hid the 25,000 crippled soldiers, I stretched out the human misery as long as possible, I decreed half a million innocents tortured and murdered, but.....I didn't mean to".

Sure, why not?

2. If he gets immunity, sure

But giving him immunity would be lunacy.

3. Nope - he's "the decider" ...

or "the thinker-upper", or whatever he's calling himself these days.

4. W. can only say "I didn't mean to"...

If he's talking about wetting his bedsheets.
