On Having No Shortcomings

From an Associated Press article on last night’s press conference:
Though nearly half the questions Bush fielded offered him the chance to admit a mistake or express regret for his administration’s actions in Iraq or on the 2001 attacks, he never did — except to apologize that he couldn’t come up with any example of a failing.
“I don’t want to sound like I have made no mistakes. I’m confident I have,” he said. “I just haven’t — you just put me under the spot here, and maybe I’m not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one.”
How about not being able to admit your mistakes? That’s one.
