—GW has made very ineffective use of the “Bully Pulpit,” and shown no leadership on “Energy.” He has even been wishy-washy on “Global Warming,” never even contesting Al Gore’s more outrageous unscientific scaremongering. Imagine the turn-around Mumbles Bush could pull off on this and other issues if he had the wherewithal to just come out and say “we need more refineries, there is no oil shortage, Global Warming is a crock, yes pollution is bad, but we don’t have much in this country ... etc. etc.”
Being a fighting democrat is extra easy when you have George Bush passing you the ammo. Thanks to him and the rest of the country-clubbers at the RNC, we face a very real danger of a wipe-out in the WH, House and Senate. Let’s just pray that this good, but incoherent and nuance-deaf fellow somehow manages to go out with a bang and not just (yet another) whimper—
We have a winner! Give this man a cigar.
