Generally, taking any personal responsibility seems pretty much out of style these days. When things happen, it's always a result of other factors in the environment where these actions occur. Stepping up to the plate and taking ownership or blame seems like it's not the popular thing to do. So based on that, why should I be surprised to read that Doug Forrester says that the reason he lost the election for NJ governor is as a result of Bad News for Bush as Key to Loss. Un-f'ing believable.
