Authority or responsibility


Government officials take authority but avoid responsiblity

Peggy Noonan outdoes herself in today's OpinionJournal.com.

No one took responsibility, but there was plenty of authority. People in authority sent the lost to the Superdome and the Convention Center. People in authority blocked the bridges out of town. People in authority tried to confiscate guns after the looting was over.

I really like that turn of phrase. "Taking authority vs. taking responsibility." I will have to remember that one.
