Appreciate the honesty. That's more or less where I'm at, and why it doesn't bother me too much. My initial thought was, "well, at least he knows he screwed up in a big way and doesn't mind a little self-deprecating about it."

I've pretty much stayed out of this thread and will likely continue to, but I appreciate that Bush can admit to his failings. I'm still not a huge fan, but I don't find this self-depreciation nearly as offensive as most of you appear to. I do submit, however, that to those who hate Bush just about anything he does will be offensive.
