2. He's gonna talk with the Saudis and get them to open up the spigots. |

The 50 million idiots who voted for this POS should have known that there was something wrong back in 2000. To have learned nothing between 2000 and 2004 is a sign there is something in the water.

Back in 2000, the media harped on the gas prices then, after they had been so low the two preceeding years. Clinton took a lot of heat for it from the media and Bush. Now, the gas prices are so freaking high and yet nobody utters a peep, especially Shrub.

4. Yet he freely admits that his 'energy bill' |
|
does nothing to bring down prices or lessen energy dependancy, only makes his oil buddies richer. So called 'energy experts' with nose inserted up shrub's ass then claim "It's a start", or "If Clinton had done this 10 years ago, blah, blah...."

9. Exactly. DOUBLE. I mention that all the time |
