Governor Gray-Out: "I botched it" The governor of California, "Gray-Out" Davis attacked President Bush's energy plan, accusing the administration of turning a blind eye to the bleeding and hemorrhaging that exists in the state of California. He said that Bush's pledge to speed up power plant permits and conserve energy at federal buildings offers no short-term relief from California's rolling blackouts and soaring electricity bills. This means that Governor Gray-Out, whether he knows it or not, admitted that he and his party cannot deal with the crisis in California. "Please, you've got to help us out," he's been begging for weeks. But now, when Bush says, "Hey, you're on your own. There are no quick fixes." Gray-out has admitted basically, "I botched it. I've got no hope of fixing this mess I made by myself." This stuff boggles my mind, and as such, I asked Dick Cheney about these accusations by Gray Davis when I interviewed the vice president early in Friday's program. There are increasing calls for what is being called fast action or a "quick fix," and Cheney has been honest with the American people, telling them that an instant solution is simply impossible. Cheney told me, "The fact of the matter is, Gray Davis knew in California - everybody else did, too - that they had a major problem over a year ago, and they went all through last summer with blackouts. He stalled and delayed and refused to take action because he didn't want to be honest with the people and tell them that they had to end that goofy regulatory scheme they put in place out there so he delayed, delayed, delayed. ... California is a great state, but unfortunately the people out there have been paying a price now for the fact that their political leaders haven't been willing to be honest with them, deal straight with them or address these substantive issues." Gray-Out Davis caused this problem by watching the population of his state nearly double yet doing nothing to supply more power. Conservation - the only solution his political supporters allow, closing their minds to any attempt to increase supply - simply won't work. California is the #1 state in conservation, already. You need more supply out there! Again, my friends, Gray-Out Davis was forced to admit he has no solution to this problem, and he's been reduced to casting about to blame anyone he can. He's throwing every conspiracy theory he can out there, but none of them are sticking. You let this crisis happen, governor. Why don't you follow the example of our esteemed vice president and give the voters the honest truth? rushlimbaugh.com
