Shouldering Responsibility

Funny how it is so obvious that the other fellow should shape up and shoulder responsibility for his actions instead of blaming others.

Here's an example identified by firedoglake in a post on that blog:

Will the Bushes please just go away?

For months now, Jeb Bush has been listening as President Obama blasts his older brother’s administration for the battered economy, budget deficits and even the lax oversight of oil wells.

“It’s kind of like a kid coming to school saying, ‘The dog ate my homework,’ ” Mr. Bush, this state’s former governor, said over lunch last week at the Biltmore Hotel. “It’s childish. This is what children do until they mature. They don’t accept responsibility.”

Oops. Jeb! just called his brother an immature child, because during the Bush/Cheney years, everything was everyone else’s fault–especially Bill Clinton’s. Just for starters…

If you have forgotten how George Bush blamed everybody but himself for his screw-ups, go read the whole post in firedoglake.
