The Not-My-Fault Presidency (Continued)
So, let me get this straight.
The man who promised to restore honor and integrity to the White House is pinning blame on the Department of Education for paying Armstrong Williams to shill for the administration?
We’re supposed to believe this was a rogue operation (which included a payment of a quarter of a million dollars) conducted without approval from the Oval Office?
Karl Rove had no knowledge of this?
This is insulting on a cosmic level. It almost defies comment.
And then this fucking weasel takes a cheap shot at the outgoing Secretary of Education, saying, "We've got new leadership going to the Department of Education."
In other words, “This isn’t my fault, and we’re replacing the guy who fucked up.”
Just one problem here.
This is your fucking fault.
This was a White House-orchestrated swindle. You were using tax-payer money to secretly pay a journalist to spread administration propaganda, and now that this nefarious shit has been exposed, you—being the accountability guy that you are—are pinning the blame on a member of your Cabinet, as if he is somehow insulated from White House policy-making.
As if he acts independently.
As if anyone in your administration acts independently of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove.
What a vile piece of garbage this man is.

I’m now receiving word of another rouge Cabinet department.
