When Bush is Forced to Apologize For Being AWOL...
will you finally concede that we have it in the bag? This story is not going away, and when he's cornered, he'll be forced (no matter how painful it is for him to utter the word "sorry" in reference to himself) to apologize on TV to the American people.

It would be the Christian thing to do, right?

11. Clenis
You need a shorthand version if you're going to blame all the administration's problems on it:

4. Lying about military service is a little different...
And I know the freepers feel that this is a much more serious charge.

6. "apologize" is one of many four syllable words that do not exist in *'s
vocabulary. That is something that peons do. Emperors never need to.

9. Now the texas killer

7. Sorry, that may be his *out* from under this issue
all he has to do is play the "confession and repetence" thing for his base. I know that in my corner of the world any "sin" confessed with appropriate pathos and lots of "I was bad, sinful, a drunk, etc" will get ANYTHING forgiven.

And, my corner of the world is in the "reddest" state. One little confession, one statement of repetence OH! and one "I was ashamed to let my daughters know lest it give them ideas..." and he is home free and in clover.

I'm not joking. I actually heard something today along those lines by a rabid Bushite pro-military veteran who sees Bush as God's-own-appointed-messenger.

He'll do it if cornered. You just wait.

8. Even if he says it
We know he won't mean it.

You can't feel sorry, if you have no conscience.

13. I thought about that
I thought about him doing a full confession and repentence.

But I think the powers that be are allowing him to go down.

21. Ah, the Jimmy Swaggart defense.
Might work with braindead morons. We'll see how many of them really exist.

10. I honestly doubt...
.... that we'll ever hear such an apology.

If we did, and it was sincere (highly doubtful), I'd be obligated to try to get over the issue.

But - I think they will just lie, lie, deny and deny - that is so much easier.

12. I said *if* cornered
he will and it will be in religious confessional terms.
(will he mean it? Hell no!)

15. This is the only obvious solution that *'s handlers could come to.
Edited on Tue Feb-10-04 09:57 PM by theorist
Ignoring this will not work now that the "angry left" won't let them get away with it. Actually, I had a premonition about this. He'll go on national television and admit that he defaulted on his military service, but that what he learned from <insert insincere excuse here> has made him able to lead <insert standard * cliche here>.

You see what I'm getting at here. Of course, it won't work with most of the country, especially heavily military states in the south and midwest. Anywhere in TX outside of Austin will definitely forgive him, but it will be moot.

edit: fixed brackets.

16. Agree with most of that, but don't under-estimate San Antonio
San Antonio has historically been reasonably liberal and you have a huge amount of military and retirees who will NOT forgive him his transgressions and are mighty pissed about the way he has cut retiree bennies...

much about it.

18. Nah....
Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture.

It would be so out of character that only the groupies would buy it.

20. Don't hold your breath for an apology
That is not in Bush*s psychological profile. About the best you'll get is: "When I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible". And the Rubes will lap it up.

22. Never In A Million Billion Quadrillion Years Will The Douche
Ever aplogize for anything. He will die first. Never happen. Not a chance.
