'Bush " Pioneer" Caused the Blackout!!!!!!'

http://www.mahablog.com/

-snip-

The President of First Energy, Tony Alexander, is a Bush "Pioneer," meaning he raised more than $100,000 in individual contributions for the 2000 Bush presidential campaign. Alexander was also a major player in the Bush Energy Transition Team, according to the National Resources Defense Council.

Much of the $100,000 was "donated" by First Energy employees.

-snip-

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, First Energy contributed $852,915 in the 2000 election cycle, 72 percent of which went to Republicans. The company gave $1,044,807 in the 2002 election cycle, 70 percent of which went to Republicans.

-snip-

So let's see -- a power company facing a Clinton Administration lawsuit gives big bucks to the Republicans and ends up playing a role in the new administration's transition team. And, possibly, this company helped write government policy on energy, although we can't know that for sure because the Vice President is protecting the names of GOP donors on his task force. In other words, business as usual for the Bushies.

-snip-

In May 2001, President Bush said, "we also have got to recognize our infrastructure is old and stale ."

----------------------------

just add the above to the pile of evidence.
Clinton tried to put through upgrading the grid but the GOP killed it.

1. The energy was diverted to the Pig Farm in Crawford
So that Bush could fricasee the American taxpayers in a massive BBQ for the Plutocrat Pioneers at the the First Swinery.

Summoning a Great Playwright -- this whole sordid Empire of Evil needs to be told on stage in a Work of Art that will speak to generations for the next 10,000 years,
