"The California crunch really is the result of not enough power-generating plants and then not enough power to power the power of generating plants." Liar, Liar. Ol' Bush's pants are still on fire.

Being the leader of the free world, has Shrub figured anything out..Monday he indicated that he hadn't and it appears this has always been the case: "Bush was into oil. ...He didn't know anything about farm country," says [Gary] Ott [reporter for the Plainview Daily Herald]. This, along with his lack of campaign experience, got him into trouble on at least one occasion, when he spoke before a large political science class at Texas Tech. "He started to talk about his views, his policies," recalls one West Texas attorney who was a student in the class. "It was during the time of the grain embargo with the Russians, and a substantial number of people up here were more interested in selling grain than fighting Communism." "George Bush said that he would strongly fight for the elimination of the embargo, and then for whatever reason, he decided he needed to talk about how evil Communism was, and how the Cuba embargo needed to be kept in place. ...I kind of got the impression that he was saying whatever people would like to hear." Aware that Cuba received heavy subsidies from Russia, the student raised his hand. "I said, how do you justify the contradiction there? And he just looked at me for the longest time and didn't say anything, and just stared." Other students started tittering, recalls the attorney, and "it was like he was trying to make the wheels spin but they would not. It's about that time that I figured out that George Junior is no mental giant." Finally, Bush replied that "there were going to be a lot of hard questions and stuff he hadn't figured out yet," the attorney says.
