Reply #1: funny, isn't it

[Jacobin]

Something ghastly happens, the one responsible hems and haws and dodges and won't talk about it. All the talking heads say: "Take responsibility for it and apologize. Do the right thing."

So Smirky comes out and "takes responsibility for it" and with the utterance of that phrase....magically all furor dies down and everyone says "well, he took responsibility for it like a man, time to move on."

I mean What in the Everlovin' Fuck is THAT all about.

Strange country we have here.
