... Go look at what
some of the 9/11 panel members (including the partisan
ben-Veniste)
had
to
say about Bush's performance before their committee.

Uh huh. And do you think that GWB went in front of that committee
and
spoke his mind, with no prep and no rehearsing?

There was grumbling among committee members because Bush told them
he'd
give
them just an hour of his time. I translated that to mean that an hour
is
as
much of an attention span as he could muster.



So to answer your question: no I don't think Bush is a moron for
having
misspoke.

If it was just misusing a word now and then, I'd agree. But he
rambles
like a moron and misuses words constantly. He's actually funnier
than
the people who mimic him... or at least, he would be if it weren't
so
scary that he is actually the President.

Last week, he spewed some nonsense about how if we'd drilled for oil
in
Alaska in the early to mid 1990s, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in
today.
That was the best he could come up with as a solution to our oil
dependency.

That's NPR for you. They conveniently left out where Bush's proposal
calls
for half of the money derived from oil lease sales in Alaska to be spent
on
research and development of alternative energy means.

Bush ties alternative energy research to Arctic drilling money
By SCOTT SONNER
ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENO, Nev. (AP) - President Bush's new budget anticipates $2.4 billion
in
oil lease sales in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by 2005, with
half
the money to be spent to research solar, wind, geothermal and other
alternative energy, an assistant secretary said Friday.




Did the rest of your article mention that 70% of such oil leases have
produced nothing over the past 20 years, and that the ones which *do*
produce are only providing about 3% of our needs?

My point is that your boy needs to come up with a REAL vision, one which
doesn't involve wasting time looking for oil. He has no such vision.


Did any of the last 4 or 5 Presidents? Clinton had 8 years and we're more
reliant on oil today than when he took office.
