BUSH'S "DISAPPEARING" ENERGY POLICY: MORE PROOF THAT TOM FREIDMAN IS AN IDIOT - OR A LIAR

WHO PROVES TOM FRIEDMAN IS AN IDIOT?

TOM FRIEDMAN DOES. HERE:

After 9/11, Mr. Bush had the chance to summon the country to a great nation-building project focused on breaking our addiction to oil.

Instead, he told us to go shopping. After gasoline prices hit $4.11 last week, he had the chance to summon the country to a great nation-building project focused on clean energy. Instead, he told us to go drilling.

Neither shopping nor drilling is the solution to our problems.

THAT IS EITHER AWESOMELY DUMB OR A FLAGRANT LIE.

HERE'S THE PLAIN TRUTH:

• BUSH PROPOSED SWEEPING CHANGES TO OUR NATIONS ENERGY POLICY IN 2001.
• IN MAY ------- BEFORE 9/11!
  

• AND ALL THE LEFT DID ABOUT IT WAS ACCUSE HIM OF BEING IN THE POCKETS OF THE ENERGY INDUSTRY,
  
• SUBPOENA CHENEY - TAKING IT TO THE SUPREME COURT, TO TRY TO GET MINUTES OF HIS PRIVATE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE ONLY TRUE ENERGY EXPERTS: THE FOLKS IN THE ENERGY INDUSTRY;
  
• AND THEN... THEY VOTED IT DOWN IN 2003.

WE BLOGGED ALL ABOUT THIS WEEKS AGO HERE - JUNE 30TH, A POST CALLED "HOW WE GOT HERE".

WE POSTED ABOUT IT AGAIN - A WEEK LATER - IN THIS ARTICLE WE ATTACKED THE NYTIMES FOR NOT MENTIONING THE BUSH ENERGY PLAN IN A 4000 WORD ARTICLE ON THE CURRETN CRISIS.

• TOM FRIEDMAN - AND HIS COMRADES AT THE NYTIMES - HAVE CONVENIENTLY FORGOTTEN THIS EPISODE.

• JUST AS HE - AND THE REST OF THE LEFT - SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

• THEY HAVE AIRBRUSHED THE BUSH ENERGY PLAN OUT OF THEIR HISTORY BOOKS - THE WAY THEIR HERO STALIN USED TO WITH FORMER COMRADES!

• OF COURSE, FRIEDMAN HASN'T REALLY FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND. LEFTIES LIKE HIM OFTEN PULL IT OUT WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT, LIKE WHEN THEY HARANGUE US ABOUT "PEAK OIL".

• ER UM... TOMMY BABY: "PEAK OIL: IS BASED ON IRREVERSIBLY DECLINING OIL SUPPLIES.

• SO WHEN BUSH PROPOSES WE INCREASE SUPPLIES HE'S DOING THE SANE THING.
• WE KNOW WHERE THE OIL IS.
• ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS LET THE ENERGY COMPANIES DRILL FOR IT - AT THEIR EXPENSE.

SHEESH.

• THE THING IS TOMMY, BABY... "PEAK OIL" IS BS - JUST LIKE AGW - THERE IS PLENTY OF OIL IN THE WORLD - THEY JUST DISCOVERED BILLIONS OF BARRELS MORE OFF THE COAST OF SOUTH AMERICA.

• AND WE GOT BILLIONS MORE HERE AT HOME - OFF OF OUR COASTS AND IN ALASKA.

BUT PHONY SC*MB*GS LIKE YOU WON'T LET US DRILL FOR IT.

YOU'D RATHER BLAME BUSH AND PAY HIGH PRICES.

IDIOT.

I'M GONNA MAKE THIS SO SIMPLE EVEN A LEFT-WING IDIOT LIKE TOM FRIEDMAN CAN GET IT:

• BUSH PROPOSED EXPANDING ENERGY PRODUCTION AND OIL EXPLORATION BEFORE 9/11.
• HE PROPOSED INCREASING SUPPLIES, AND THIS IS WHAT REDUCES PRICES.

• SO THE ENTIRE PREMISE OF TOM FRIEDMAN'S COLUMN IS FALSE.

HEY TOMMY BOY: EITHER ADMIT YOU'RE AN IDIOT, OR ADMIT YOU'RE A LYING SACK OF LEFTIST SH*T MORE INTERESTED IN HELPING THE DEMOCRATS THAN THE NATION.
