Just as They Seem to Finally Get It

Jump to Comments

Remember how Bush was supposed to have some sort of crackerjack staff that knew about how important image was? Well, yesterday they decided that it would be really great to have George W. Bush photographed during an appearance at an oil refinery. Yeah, way to go! Is Michael Moore doing their scheduling now?

Also, it turns out that Dick Cheney still sucks. Yeah, I know that all of us were thinking that maybe the extended vacation in Wyoming during the height of this crisis may have mellowed him, but apparently not. A report has surfaced that Cheney personally intervened when a local power company was trying to restore power to southern Mississippi, pressuring them to restore power to a company that runs…wait for it…

…gasoline and diesel pipelines.

Cheney even got the Department of Energy to call state power regulators. The company was bullied to not only neglect other residential areas to restore the power, but was forced to shut off power to one of the few functioning hospitals in the area to do it.

You can never really scrape the bottom of the barrel with these people, can you?
