White House: Oil Costs Due in Part to Lack of Legislation

The Bush administration Thursday blamed the record price levels for crude oil in part on Congress's inability to pass a package of energy legislation.

"The facts are we have run into this problem (of high energy costs) year after year because of a failure to act on a comprehensive energy plan," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

McClellan said the package of energy legislation that Bush proposed four years ago would offer the country a "comprehensive solution" to the nation's energy woes rather than "patch work crisis management."

7. bu$h couldn't find oil in Delay's hair.

8. Ha!

[phantom power]

10. When Bush says "comprehensive energy plan", he means

comprehensively selling the oil-drilling and coal-mining rights to every square foot of the US.

So, by that definition, he's right, we have failed to give him the "comprehensive" plan he dreams of.

11. "Congress" Notice something missing?

It's "Congress" when Bush wants to blame them now.

It's "Leaders on the Hill" or "Congressional Leadership" when he doesn't.

And when the Dems controlled Congress, it was "Democratic Congress".

So how come it's not "Republican Congress"?

We all know why.

[spanone]

12. Yea, that LAME REPUBLICAN CONGRESS!!

13. Didn't he just say in Mexico that we are addicted as a nation to oil???
