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.

Though this has been posted already, let me be the first to say on this thread, SHUT UP!!

[dyed_in_the_wool]

So the dems did a lot and did nothing.
And they can't figure out why they're a laughingstock.
If I was Bush I would scream that it's time to implement his energy plan. That would shut her up.

[You Dirty Rats]

Bitch.

CHENEY'S REMARKS ON ENERGY

[NYer]

""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." "

Spoken like a true shrew!

[mhking]

I heard her spewing her venom last night on MSNBC to Lester Holt. It was all I could do not to throw my remote control through the television set.

She is so full of used food...

[Puppage]

I happen to think that making sure we have a reliable, affordable system of energy is a national priority

Then why do you want to shutdown the nuclear power plant, Krusty? That's the most reliable/affordablepower there is?

Uh-Oh....could you just be...(gulp) POLITICISING this whole thing??

[John123]

NIMBY (sigh).

[Puppage]

I heard her spewing her venom last night on MSNBC

Gee, why doesn't she spew that filth on say, Fox? Could it be that she may be CHALLENGED?

[dead]

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.

Whoa! That’s the real story. What’s up with Richardson?

[Joe Brower]

Here's an acronym for Hitlery: ESAD.

[beaversmom]

Where's a big meteorite when you need one?

[JustPiper]

"She" is a NY Senator! Her husband was in control for 8 years, I mean out of control! Bill Richardson was his buddy! This has not been taken care of since Kennedy in 65', what is her mental illness?

[JustPiper]

Succint and right on!

[Quilla]

Don't forget the ever faithful STFU.

[JustPiper]

We've been posting the Dems had nothing new to spew in the past few weeks.

[Loyal Buckeye]

And there goes Richardson's chance of becoming the VP in Camelot, take II.

[MeekOneGOP]

[kattracks]

Hey hillary!, you should keep your mouth SHUT if you don't know what you're talking about (which would be all of the time).

For two years, the Bush administration and leaders of congressional energy committee have called for new legislation to help expand the transmission system, but a major energy bill has yet to get through Congress.

System's Crash Was Predicted

Congress. Isn't that where hillary! works (and I use the word loosely)?

[two23]

"I heard her spewing her venom last night on MSNBC"

I had to turn it off....her shameless, self promotion and the clang-clacking sound of her rants, grieve my spirit.

[JustPiper]

Ping!

[Lynn]

Amazing, her entire city...you know the one she is supposed to be a Senator in...goes black, and the first public thing out of her mouth is who is to blame...

[mystery-ak]

She spews this garbage to all who will listen and always goes unchallenged....for ONCE, I would like to see one media type call her on an issue.....STFU.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Compare and contrast her response to that of Gov Pataki. Real leadership vs the wannabe kind.

[gsrinok]

Of course it's Bush's fault. Everything is his fault, including the fact that Hillary is getting fatter by the day.

[Liberal Classic]

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.

Enron is no longer in the electrical futures market and hasn't been for a year now, but no mention of California at all. Newspeak doubleplus ungood.

[Liberal Classic]

Correction, little mention.

[Tallguy]

There's gotta be a way to harness all that static that Hillary gives this administration. Maybe we should plug her @ss into the northeast power grid?

[TRY ONE]

"I heard her spewing her venom last night on MSNBC to Lester Holt. It was all I could do not to throw my remote control through the television set."

Dittos!

I was thinking, I bet Hitlery thinks that a "transmission constraint" is when one is unable to get your email and that a "distributed load" is what hits a blue dress!

[beaversmom]

She has no shame at all--she's absolutely evil and power hungry.

[Mo1]

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.

I guess Hellary missed that part of the show

[randita]

"Our infrastructure in the energy area is very limited." Cheney told MSNBC's "Hardball." "It's very important we get on with this business of making certain we've got enough energy in the future or we will find that the problems in California today are in fact national in scope and affect all parts of the country." (3/21/01)

Bush has an energy plan to deal with these issues. For 2 years, the plans have been bottled up in conference committees--thwarted by Democrats.

[geedee]

Spoken like a true shrew!

Shrew, did you say? Kinda, oh say, like this one?

Or how about the skank she's turned into? Forgive me, I know it's heresy to agree with her hubby -- Pee Wee -- on anything, but, forgive me Lord, I don't blame him. If I had to come home to this, trolling elementary schools for dates, while still deplorable, is at least understandable.

[cyncooper]

Gee, why doesn't she spew that filth on say, Fox? Could it be that she may be CHALLENGED?

Exactly what I said last night. She went on and on citing Enron, for pete's sake, and not one murmur of "What the hell are you talking about, hillary?".

I had to delete the rest of what I just typed....grrrrrrrrrr

[ventana]

No,no Pyro. We actually want her to keep on talking...Insert foot in mouth continually. I don't think people want to hear that this was Bush's fault. I think they will think that's ridiculous. So the shriller she is the better for us. V's wife.

[mhking]

The common good comes before the private good. --Nazi Slogan

We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society. --Hillary Clinton

She is evil incarnate. Pure and simple.

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[Spok]

If the cause is so obvious to her, without even needing to hear results of an investigation, surely she must have seen this coming. So what was she doing to head it off? Why didn't she predict this?

[Texas Mom]

When I first heard the news of the Black Out I wondered how long it would take for the democraps to blame President Bush.

Evidently it didn't take the wicked witch of the east very long did it?

[bedolido]

Hellary... What a Jackass JaneAss!

[kevkrom]

And of course, if the Administration was able to get an energy plan through Congress that would have prevented this, it would have been decried as catering to Bush's wealthy energy friends...

[Manic_Episode]

She's so full of crap.
The blackout was caused by me when I flipped that switch in my living room that never seemed to do anything, and BAM!
Sorry everyone, I'll just go put it back on now.

[EllaMinnow]

[mewzilla]

Not just Hilliary, either. There was Hilliary, Gray-out Davis, and Tubby Richardson all over the boob tube. All blaming Bush. All Toon, all the time.

[m1-lightning]

You can morph Hillary's face here!

[hchutch]

Good grief...

You know, makes me glad that I decided to stick with being a neoconservative.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Quote of the day. (^:

See tag line.

[E.G.C.]

Here are my thoughts on the subject.

The Bush Administration has offered several opportunities to address this energy and hillary and her enviro-wacko friends have rebuffed those efforts.

Hillary needs to go look at herself in the mirror before shoe goes to spouting off her big fat mouth.

The enviro-wackos are at fault for this B.S. and C.F. not the Bush Administration.

I wonder how the people of New York feel about this so-called "representative" in the Senate.

This bum and carpetbagger needs to have her a** thrown out of office next year. The people of New York deserve better.

[Dante3]

Right after the blackout I heard someone joking that Hillary! will blame the Bush administration. We checkled at what we thought was a joke.

Every disaster is an opportunity for blame.
