Bush is refusing to apologize in person, Rumsfeld the fall guy?

ABC News just reported that Bush is refusing to apologize for the Iraqi prison scandal. He put his spokesman, Scott McClellan, out there today to say "the president is deeply sorry for what occurred," but when asked "why didn't he say so himself?", McClellan responded "I'm saying it for him right now."

In other news, the White House let it be known that the president called Rumsfeld and was unhappy about not finding out about the photos until the CBS show aired. Now, that's a cute defense - Bush had NO idea this was going on and his staff kept him out of the loop - but how many times do people have to suffer because this guy is out of the loop before people stop giving him a pass for being a deadbeat president? Once out of the loop and 3,000 people die, shame on the terrorists - maybe. Again and again and again out of the loop? Shame on Bush.
