George and Steel Tarifs

No need to -give- him credit, with his deficit spending he is creating his own credit.

Heck, that's *nothing*. You should see what rep Tom DeLay tried to push through - a 'get out of jail free, no lawsuits' rider to the recent energy bill. It would have immunized companies like Lyondell Chemical from state lawsuits involving contaminated drinking water wells.

Of course this involves MTBE, the oxygenate that reduced pollution by 10 percent and decreases gas mileage by 12 percent.

No suprise, Lyondell was the biggest single contributor to DeLay's 2004 campaign. The best politicans money can buy - purchased by the Oxygenated Fuels Association, the folks who lobbied long and hard to get MTBE added into gas in the first place.

And oddly enough, one of the guys who stood up to them and filubustered the rider to a halt was that favorite evil-doer, Chuck Shumer. Every cloud has an MTBE-free lining.

Why would you give someone credit for getting his butt in a crack and trying to squirm out? Bush wanted votes from the steel states so he made all the rest of us pay 30% more for our raw material. Now his chickens are coming home to roost. You want to give him credit for that? AND NOW he walks away with another million in big steel bribes for his next campaign. He's got one heavy set of gonads. The problem is that we are the jock strap.

I give him credit for be> FYI:

And it will last a lot longer than he does. Our children gonna be paying for it for centuries.

Let me know when he starts getting $10,000 contributions from impoverished Buddhist nuns, ok?

If they were impoverished, where did they get $10,000? Running something on the side, were they?

Ed Huntress

Bush does that a little more efficiently; he makes sure the offender doesn't get prosecuted in the first place. Ever hear of Ken "Kenny Boy" Lay?

I don't think it was on the side.......

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

Yup... Cosco from the looks of it.

From the looks of it..they are indeed working on his indictment:

The Enron Corp. scandal is touching, in an indirect way, a small, eco-friendly corner of the energy industry: California wind farms.

The latest round of indictments against Enron insiders accuses former Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow and his wife Lea of participating in a scheme to mask Enron's illegal ownership in a group of California wind farms -- and then siphoning off tens of thousands of dollars in farm profits for themselves.

The charges are part of a broader set of accusations filed recently in U.S. District Court in Houston against the couple and other one-time employees in connection with Enron's collapse.

Andrew Fastow, who was also indicted in October, is the highest-ranking Enron executive charged so far. The defendants said they'll fight the charges. Lea Fastow is the former assistant treasurer at Enron."

Now..about Hillary Clinton......

Jeez Gunner - that sure sounds like Bush re Medicare and Weapons of Mass Distruction and the battle for Iraq is over.

Deja view all over again - to quote Mr. Berra

Funny. That is exactly the methodology that Faux News, Ann Coulter and Rush use. Does that mean that they are Leftest?

I think I'm glad I don't see the same news as you chaps

Mark Rand (in BBC land) RTFM

The Buddhist nuns story was one of the more entertaining moments on our TV news. I was sure that next they'd find that some Santarian witch doctor was contributing used chickens or something.

Ed Huntress

Yeah sure. I'll be elected pope the same day he gets indicted!

Abrasha

Hmmm,

And I thought that is how the right works. Oh no, I got that wrong again. That's how they all work in politics. Tell me something I don't know yet.

You just think you got the left figured out don't you. Your blind anger towards the left is beginning to sound quite funny. I like you helplessness and lack of control in this regard.

Keep it up, as I'm sure you will until the day you die.

The more I read your silly diatribes the funnier they become.
