Our Oil-Idiot in the White House

Bushie is attempting to put the squeeze on the Saudis today. "Please" he says, "Pump More Oil. My Texan and SUV owning buddies are paying too much at the pump."

Ghod forbid that they would have to drive something smaller that gets better gas mileage. Such an action would upset the Detroit auto makers who rely on their big SUVs for a disproportionate share of their revenue.

Oh no, let us not consume less - let us pump more.

BTW - our MINI Cooper with its CVT trannie is getting 32 mpg.
