The MOST meaningless three words in the Republican lexicon:
"I take responsibility"

Can anyone show me ONE example of it being more than three empty words from the mouth of ANY Republican?

1. No, the most useless words are "mistakes were made"
Makes it sound like their otherwise great plans were hit by a tornado or something, cause it sure ain't their fault, is it?

3. "Man of God"
The POS squatting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is about as much a man of God as ... I can't even come up with a witty bon mot because it makes me so angry.

4. 3 most meaningless
Ask Libby; the three most meaningless words for Republicans are 'fifteen to twenty.' Don't mean shit.

8. Show me where a Repug has ever said those words.
They always use the passive voice: "mistakes were made", not "I take responsibility for this mistake"

9. I thought you were going to say, "Clinton did, too."
Same difference, I suppose. Both statements are lies.

10. LOL! Reminds me of Marc Maron's famous ...
"B-b-b-b-but Clinton ... " refrain.

13. They use it as a mantra to ward off responsibility.
Up until recently it has worked for most of them. And it is really all they have left to defend themselves.

14. If Alberto REALLY took responsibility, he'd resign.
That is, IF he had one iota of integrity.
