He Who Must Not Be Blamed did.
oh yes he did.

You're confusing "He Who Must Not Be Blamed" with "He who must not be blamed."

See? It's all in the caps.
Then he was repeating Bush's mistake. Dumb move, once you saw how it worked out for Bush.

Yep.

I can only assume he did it for two reasons. One, because Bush had already promised, so he had some cover. And two, because he felt he had to, politically.

Nevertheless, dumb move. If you can't be sure you'll catch him, you should learn the lesson of the fox and the grapes.
