Nah, healthy skepticism ain't really Lash's thing here. She's just playing goalie, "It did NOT go in the net, it hit the goalpost. I do NOT care what the fukkin instant replay is showin'."
First, we already knew that what Brooks says is the case because:
- the historical examples are precisely, and only, as I've given them
- and there's the rich record of good reasons for Bush to be fessin' up to fukkin' up
- and there's all the instances we each know of where Bush has refused all direct invitations to do such fessin.
So, it ain't as if this is news or some kind of contentious claim to begin with.
And then, it ain't as if Brooks (who tutored under Bill Buckley, wrote for the Weekly Standard for years, who is a Republican, votes Republican and represents Republican ideology as a pundit and writer now at the NY Times) has some anti-Bush agenda he's forwarding via this DISGUSTING LIE ABOUT BUSH not being able to, or not wishing to, fess up.
So, nah, Lash's thing here isn't as you kindly suggest.
