I guess Bob means that Bush is so smart, he must have known that
the statistical probability of multiple transmission and power
supply failures in the Northeast grid was too high.

Not far from the truth. Part of Gore's platform included a vast upgrade of the
nation's powergrid. Clinton actually called it "brilliant" and it proposed
cleaner and safer systems. Bush probably ignored the plan, but he's doing
wonders with Stem Cell research, killing more people than any man in history by
crippling the most important series of study's in the history of humanity.
