Hillary Blames Bush for Blackout

Just hours after the Northeastern power grid went down shutting off electricity for 50 million Americans, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton took to the airwaves to blame President Bush and his administration's energy policies for pushing deregulation and coddling corrupt power companies like Enron.

"I happen to think that making sure we have a reliable, affordable system of energy is a national priority - and I don't think that this administration sees it that way," Clinton told CNN's "Larry King Live."

"They have continued to try to push deregulation and privatization, and to try to undo a lot of the systems in changes that many of us thought were important and necessary that we tried to work on during the Clinton administration under [Former Energy] Secretary [Bill] Richardson's leadership."

Sen. Clinton also accused the White House of throwing "a lot of roadblocks in the way of [Calif. Gov. Gray] Davis, when he tried to clean up some of the problems that he had with the manipulation of the energy markets by Enron and others."

"So, no," she insisted, "I don't think the federal administration under this president is really focused on making sure we don't have these problems in the future."

Before Clinton phoned in her comments to the King Show, however, Gov. Richardson, now governor of New Mexico, noted that her husband had done little to address the problem during his eight years in office.

"In the Clinton administration, everybody yawned about this, [saying] oh, we don't need to do this. Oh, we don't have a crisis," he told King.

According to Hitlery, Bush is also responsible for the great Chicago Fire, acne, sleep apnea, oversalted fries, and her large butt. Also according to Hitlery, she is responsible for puppies and rainbows.

If we were all living in centralized soviet-style apartment blocs like the Greenies want us to be, we wouldn't have all these millions of nasty, dangerous, faulty transmission lines and switching stations scattered all over Gaia's Green Earth losing power unexpectedly. We would be happily concentrated in one central location where electrical and social problems could be resolved quickly and easily - if they even occurred!

The unmitigated gall of this Rat to blame an administration that has been in office for less than three years for a problem that was ignored by an administration that was in office for eight years prior and didn't do a damn thing except raise funds for Rats, get BJs from Monica, and go groping after Kathleen Willey. If there is a problem, then there was a Rat administration in office from 1993 to 2001 that didn't do a thing about it. In fact, by discouraging energy technology development and other science (the IFR in Idaho, for example, and the HFBR at Brookhaven, which Richardson axed after having a "meeting" with that renowned nuclear physicist Christie Brinkley), probably contributed to it.

...a Challenged HILLARY on FoX =

"WHY did you & BILL CLINTON refuse 3 No-Strings Offers from the Sudan during the 1990's to bring our No. 1 Terrorist Enemy OSAMA bin LADEN to the custody of a U.S. Jail & Trial that would have prevented the Attacks on us all on September 11, 2001..?"

"WHY..?"

Good points, all.

I just spoke to some professional contacts in NYC. Raving liberals, but what are you going to do? They're up in arms this morning over a NYT article that stated that Bush didn't personally call any governors or mayors to offer handholding or air kisses or whatever comfort they needed.

They've really got their panties knotted over this. I think it's going to be an issue today, and probably for a few days, as the "Blame Bush" movement gets going.

It isn't a coincidence that the areas most effected by these energy crisis (California and the Northeast) are regions totally controlled by liberals.

That's what I was thining when I heard that this was not a terrorist Attack. (so it's a Socialist Enviro-wacko Terrorist Attack)
