Stop the Yelling? Put a Sock In It, Smirk!
by Dave "Doctor" Gonzo

Thursday, May 17, 2001 -- NEW YORK (APJP) -- Just who the hell does that smirking imbecile, former Texas Governor George W. Bush, think he is fooling?

Less than a half hour ago, His Fraudulence concluded his much-hyped "energy policy" speech -- a gaggle of programs cooked up in secret by lobbyists for energy cartels and fossil fuel extractors and sellers, and flogged under the guise of that "National Energy Policy" that his handlers claim this nation needs so badly.

Oh, yes, there was plenty use of the word "conservation" -- but little in the way of specifics. This morning, a congressional staffer familiar with details of Smirk's Grand Energy Scam told The Doc, "Look for plenty of mention of conservation initiatives -- though I'm sure [our Bogus POTUS] will look for a less syllabically challenging set of words to get the idea across. And take my word for it -- it's all window dressing! The new 'energy policy' is the biggest quid-pro-quo yet -- for Exxon, Reliant, Enron, energy brokers, and especially coal merchants."

The Doc was hardly surprised by that -- but was astounded by the shameless arrogance of Dumb-Yuh in pushing the theme that both sides of the energy/environment debate (read: those damn trouble-makers we malign as "tree huggers" who care about the planet) have to stop screaming at each other and, in fact, are working toward the same goal.

This point was a continuation of his campaign lie that he wanted to "restore civility" and "integrity" to the national debate. Right, Usurper Boy -- that's why you nominated arch-dirt-digger and dirty trickster Theodore Olson to the office of Perjurer-General... er, Solicitor General.

But I digress.

Funny, Smirk, but I don't exactly think that jacking up the value of oil and coal company stocks is exactly at the top of either Robert Redford's or the Sierra Club's priority list. And if you think you can bamboozle anyone outside of the Cheney-Card coterie, energy/fuel stockholders, and your handful of lemming-like conservative supporters into thinking that there has to be more "civility" over environmental issues -- well, face facts.

FACT: you DON'T have a popular mandate.

FACT: you INFURIATED the rest of the planet and diminished our international stature with your off-the-cuff rejection of the Kyoto Protocols.

FACT: you HAVEN'T the rhetorical skill necessary to fool most people into thinking that laying down and playing dead in the manner that Senate Democrats did during the first hundred regime days will "clear the air" between energy interests and people who care about the environment, especially when the former put profits above people and court environmental disaster.

FACT: you WON'T command any respect for people who do wish to conserve nature because almost every one of them knows that your family stole the 2000 presidential election -- and consider you a bought-and-paid-for crook.

And, believe you me, they'll contact their congressman and senators -- and urge them to REJECT your National Let the Energy Industry Rape America and the Planet Policy.

Stop the yelling? Puh-leeeze. Put a sock in it, Smirk -- you're an embarrassment.

'Nuff said.
