"I take responsibility"

[Walkiry]

I'll just take it as that then, gross exageration and fatuous slander.  My opinion of where you have obtained your bias might very well be inaccurate.

Sigh. You just like being contrary for the sake of it, don't you.

From Wikipedia:

A hyperbole, largely synonymous with exaggeration and overstatement, is a figure of speech in which statements are exaggerated or extravagant. It may be used due to strong feelings or is used to create a strong impression and is not meant to be taken literally.

So no, don't take the "craptacular performance", "crooks" or "poo flinging" statements seriously, as they're exaggerated to give emphasis. DO take the statements from Bush and Annan seriously, because they said them as the news presented them.

If they feel there were enough problems to claim they "take responsibility" for them, they should indeed do something that equates "taking responsibility", not just move their mouths with empty words.

That's the gist of my post. Remind me to add a "fools digest" so that gits like you can understand it the next time I post.
