arno:

Excellent missive.

While this country diddled Monicagate, the energy crisis was building with plenty of people howling about it a year and a half ago. Clinton rewarded Richardson for "interviewing" Monica for a job by appointing him Energy Secretary. While Richardson diverted resources, homes burned in New Mexico. While he conducted the Dr. Lee witch hunt - and he's the one who started it, Justice came in later - the energy crisis was in a boil. Now they're using a garden hose to put out a forest fire. What were his qualifications to run the energy department? Why was there never a policy? This is the strongest argument that Bush has IMO.

What I find interesting is how the middle east, one way or another, has been a major participant in our elections. This goes back to the hostage crisis with Jimmy Carter.

The old slogan "It's the economy, stupid" isn't going to fly this time. This time "It's da oil, da oil, stupid" and Gore is the one who's looking stupid and Bush, the oilman, is looking smart (truly magic and something only the democrats could have made possible).

In deference to my son's request not to turn this thread into a political argument, let me say that I don't take sides - I think they're both a couple of bozos. But releasing our reserves is really really stupid and will end up costing Gore the election, IMO.
