By Derrick Z. Jackson | Saturday, January 13, 2007 | The Boston Globe
The ironic juxtaposition of Jerry Ford’s funeral with The Decider’s astoundung “surge” speech drives an examination of true presidential reposibility, culminating in this Big Slap:
“…In his own way, Vietnam-battered President Johnson truly took responsibility and declined to run for re election. In his own way, Watergate-battered President Nixon took responsibility and resigned. With so much death already on his hands, Bush should not be allowed to continue this aimless war.
The only responsible show of responsibility at this point is resignation. The Republicans need to start deciding who among them is like Ford, with the character and humility to restore the strength of the presidency.”…BS
