I have not been following all this so correct me if I am wrong but: I just saw president Clinton publically "taking the blame" for ordering the search to continue for JFK Jr.
It appears to me that he waited until they found the bodies, made sure that it was a good idea, then he gets on TV and makes it look like he is being a martyr when in fact he is patting himself on the back and trying to get glory from the recovery of JFK Jr's death.
If the search had been a disaster, would he have taken the "blame" for extending the search?
He claims to want to "put the blame where it lies", and "blame himself" for the search rather than the Coast Guard. It's a very wise move, he kills two birds with one stone: he takes the glory for finding the body in an emotional time for a lot of people (women mostly, it appears, who is exactly what Clinton seems to appeal to), while at the same time the prez makes it appear as if he has a lot of character and is "taking blame" for for his "decision".
The "man" is shameless. He is not below anything. He will even use the death of JFK jr in order to glorify himself subtly.
