2008 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is celebrating Earth Day by unveiling her new energy plan and by blaming President Bush's environmental policies for Hurricane Katrina.
In a fundraising email sent out to donors on Thursday, Mrs. Clinton alleges:
"In the last five years, the Bush administration has left no major environmental law untouched in their push to deregulate, undermining or rolling back decades of regulations put in place to protect our heath.
"The results are all around us," she says, citing "more greenhouse gases, global warming, rising seas, more violent storms like Katrina." She also blames Bush for "the endless demand for higher-priced oil [that] is depleting world supplies [and] weakening our economic security." Mrs. Clinton proposes the creation of a brand new energy bureaucracy, telling her supporters: "We have the National Institutes of Health; why don't we have a National Institute of Energy?"
Decrying what she called the "short-sighted, oil company-dependent energy policy that values drilling anywhere for oil more than it values protecting our planet, Mrs. Clinton said her energy plan would compel the big oil companies to invest "their historic profits . . . into a strategic energy fund to develop alternative energy forms."
The former first lady proposed granting consumer tax breaks to buy fuel-efficient vehicles, extending incentives to produce electricity from renewable sources, and making bio fuels more widely available.
For the long term Mrs. Clinton says she supports research into wind farms, solar energy cells, ethanol, and biodiesel."
The former first lady urges that the time for action is now, warning: "the threats to our environment and way of life are real and growing."
Jeeze I didn't know Bush was the all Powerful Oz and Could stop Hurricanes! Man is he Powerful!
Now you know.
While my husband was busy getting a Hummer......Oh wait, I meant he was getting a Chevy....He had his staff stopping Global Warming only to have Bush let it go again.
More fodder for Republican candidates in '08!
She's falling apart, un glued and unhinged.
Hillary TOON doing the Dean scream.
I had no idea President Bush was so omnipotent. If so, can't he stop the illegals flooding the southern border and do something about Ahmedinejad?
I haven't been posting on Free Republic all that long. Are female dogs the only animals we can call bitches...or are we allowed to extend that term to loudmouth, carpetbagging, black pantsuit-wearing, should-never-wear-a-swimsuit-when-photographed-dancing-on-a-beach wives of impeached former presidents as well? Please advise.
Demurely yours,
OkeyDokeyOkie

I thought she was cracked about 59 years ago...oh, wait, that's when she was HATCHED.

The most dangerous beast know to man would kill the entire world economy.
The deaths from starvation would put her high on the list with Mao, Stalin and Hitler.
Jeeze I guess his ancestors caused the devastating one in Galveston in 1900! They are the great and powerful!!!
Call the rest home for the deranged, and I will have the admitting papers drawn by this afternoon.
You may proceed! But do tell us how you really feel next time! LOL
"The results are all around us," she says, citing "more greenhouse gases, global warming, rising seas, more violent storms like Katrina."
Those frequent hot flashes must be a bi#@h.
I wonder what she is going to tell Kennedy when she says wind farms are going in his back yard? hahahahahahahahahaha
Oh the lies we tell just to get in the limelight of the MSM.....
She's almost 60, way beyond menopause.
Careful Hillary, Bush might turn off the sun with that kind of talk.
