Bush Blows Away Conference

Bill Opalka | May 25, 2010


For a few minutes in his Tuesday morning speech, George W. Bush was governor of Texas again, reenacting how the foundations were laid to make the state the far-and-away leader in wind energy in the United States.

Bush described how he directed utility commissioner Pat Wood in the late 1990s that a new energy source should be developed.

"I said to Pat Wood, `there's plenty of wind in Texas, let's get some,'" Bush said. And with his famous self-deprecating humor, added, "I know that didn't sound very Shakespearean."

The 43rd president was the "conference highlight" in the friendly territory of the American Wind Energy Association conference in Dallas, in which he received standing ovations and raucous applause.

Cheap, plentiful energy. Imagine if George W. Bush had been in a position to replicate such a dazzling success on a larger scale, to push for smart energy policies that provide for green, domestic, economic electricity...

Oh, wait.

Think of what it would be like if George did promote wind power -- just like he promoted Arbusto, the rebuild of New Orleans, bringing democracy to Iraq, No Child Left Behind, the Prescription Drug Benefit....

wind power, don't you think Cheney and Bush had their operatives in this whole BP disaster.

Shit-for-Brains doesn't have Fleischer or Perino to do his lying for him any more. He has to to do it himself. :rofl:

He failed at trying to be an "oil tycoon" time and again.

bush* was quoted as saying, "I hate oil so much!!". He ended the interview by shaking his fists at the sky and swearing loudly.

What gall, these words coming from the most environmentally destructive pResident ever.

But then, would you expect anything less from a fake cowboy?
