Go ahead, I'm listening.
Do you disagree that President Bush's ideas on a progressive energy
policy came largely from Al Gore's speeches from 1999? That is not just
my opinion, it has been stated by many conservatives, neo- and
otherwise... stated vociferously in some cases!

Depends on what you mean.

Al Gore's playbook worked just fine for 8 years, including a higher level
of bipartisanship than most Republicans would want to admit nowadays.

Or do you mean that Al Gore's playbook "doesn't work" because it didn't
get him elected? If that's the case, then President Bush must be pretty
desperate to start quoting it now, trying to bring his numbers up. Or
maybe not, old Al got 49.9% of the vote and Bush's numbers are much lower
than that now.

Either way, it's nice to see some forward-thinking leadership. I was just
remarking how the politicking on the issue is so very very far from the
facts... and of course the far-right talking heads push it even further
from reality.

No matter what party they're from, our erected leaders will say whatever
they're instructed to say about oil, energy, or pretty much anything else.
All good little sheep.

We need to have Senator's selected from the several states legislatures.
