Has ANY cabinet member (& above) EVER admitted they made a mistake?
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 12:27 AM by MsMagnificent
Just wondering what the public record (i.e. our Liberal Media *cough cough*) has printed or said.

Or are they each & all infallible, just like a bunch of MiniGods?

Really, this is a serious question -- if you know of ANY please post
...and quoting your source would be nice too :>


Edit: Sorry, yes, in the Bush the Second administration :/

1. In this Admin?
Or others?

They only one that I recall who admitted to any mistakes was Bush himself when he offered that he may have made some mistakes in picking his cabinet first go around.
Other than that, they are all perfect.

2. Not in THIS Administration
But JFK took responsibility for the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961.

3. Well, certainly not in this mis-administration
But Kennedy admitted he made a mistake.

4. Harry Truman
when he said the Buck Stops Here.

Apparently, in *'s admin, the buck stops at the 7-11 for coffee each morning and never makes it into the office.
