Blaming the victim - at least the NYT isn't being fooled

no shit...

President Bush wants to show the nation he's shaking things up in his administration, but it is clear that the people who messed everything up will remain in place.

• [T]he first thing this president will be remembered for is the disastrous way the war in Iraq was conducted under Donald Rumsfeld, who, of course, isn't going anywhere.

• If there's a second thing we think history will shake its head over, it's the administration's cavalier disregard for the civil liberties of American citizens and the human rights of American prisoners. Needless to say, nobody's being replaced at the Justice Department.

• The third great disaster of the Bush administration is a fiscal policy that has turned a federal surplus into a series of enormous budget gaps and an economy that depends on loans from China to pay its bills.

The president is like one of those people who pretend to apologize by saying they're sorry if they were misunderstood. He doesn't believe he's done anything wrong. It's our fault for not appreciating him.

Blame the victim.

when in god's name are we gonna get bush the hell outta office...? 31 months more of this criminal administration is an eternity, an eternity for them to continue their destruction of our country...
