Bush Orders Staff to Attend Ethics Briefings

You can't make this shit up.

In the latest attempt to save face with the American public, President "Restoring Honor and Integrity" Bush has ordered all his staff members to attend mandatory 'refresher courses' on ethical behavior. This will include "refresher lectures on general ethics rules, including the rules of governing the protection of classified information".

That's.... encouraging?

But isn't this just 5 years too late, guys? You see, you fellows were supposed to know this stuff before you came into office. In fact, if you recall, being the ethical administration was Mr. Bush's big selling points in his 2000 campaign! But I suppose you just forgot the rules of ethics (you know- not outing covert agents, stuff like that). It's easy to forget the basics of ethics when you're violating them on a daily basis. So good luck on the refresher courses. I'm sure this was all another genius idea from Karl Rove, who of course should be given a front row seat for the lectures.

Restoring honor and integrity... TAKE TWO!
