To Quote President Josiah Bartlet …
January 19, 2011
The text I take for my sermon today is from The West Wing Series 3 Episode 10 "H. CON – 172"
It is President Jed Bartlett who speaketh:
“No one in government takes responsibility for anything anymore. We foster, we obfuscate, we rationalize. "Everybody does it." That's what we say. So we come to occupy a moral safe house where everyone's to blame so no one's guilty.”
I was watching the DVD last night. That was an imaginary President in an imaginary America in 2002.
It has a resonance in Northern Ireland in 2011 though, doesn’t it?
