Whose fault were the recent power outages: President Bush or Hillary Clinton?

Sure enough, Sen. Hillary Clinton was on national TV attacking the president just hours after the blackout struck. She tried to blame not the Democrats' fanatical opposition to practically any form of energy development (even wind power is a no-no these days; see below) but 'deregulation and privatization.' As we reported Friday, she praised the supposed progress under Clinton Energy Secretary Bill Richardson (the clueless dullard who presided over the scandals at Los Alamos National Lab); but right before she phoned in her tirade to CNN, Richardson himself admitted to Larry King: 'In the Clinton administration, everybody yawned about this, [saying] oh, we don't need to do this.

'We simply cannot afford to wait any longer. Our economy and our way of life are at stake.' Alan Caruba of National Anxiety Center notes that self-styled 'environmentalists' in La-La Land and elsewhere have devastated the nation.

It's a commodity and, when it gets scarce, the price goes UP,' Caruba wrote in a column carried by NewsMax. We happen to enjoy canoeing, kayaking and hiking.
