Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Re: [POLITICS] "mistakes were made"

["Vern Green" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Whatever, I am sure you are making perfectly clear sense to yourself, but I don't have a clue what you are talking about.

 

I think, when I go back and read, what you are trying to say is that the republicans in some way criticized Clinton for stating mistakes were made. I don't recall those criticisms being made, but it is possible that I forgot them. Certainly there was not as big of deal made out of that particular statement as it was for the Clintonian " I don't recall" or the "what is the meaning of sex".

 

So to me, it makes no sense for you to be criticizing Gonzales, or anyone else in the department by them admitting to making mistakes. It is what you were wanting them to do a few months ago and now, when they do admit to the mistake, you want to somehow criticize them for it. Its alright though because liberals can have it both ways if they want.

 

It is only a liberal mind that can call an increase in spending a cut, and it is only a liberal mind that can turn around an admission of a mistake as not an admission at all.

It's like you are mentally retarded or brain injured or something.  If you
were to read my messages, maybe you wouldn't seem like you have brain
damage.  Another thing you might want to read is what Rush Limbaugh and
the like had to say about it when Clinton used the famous phrase "mistakes
were made."
