You have to have principles to be able to compromise them. In his soft-ball interview with Charlie Gibson, Bush tried to whitewash the failures of his presidency.

On everything from 9-11 to the invasion of Iraq...from the response to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina to the current economic melt-down...he takes responsibility for NOTHING.

But that should come as no surprise to anyone. denial of responsibility has been his modus operandi for his entire adult life. His mealy-mouthed denial of responsibility is also typical behavior for alcoholics to engage in, and he had an administration chock full of enablers, yes-men and cronies.
