Bush energy advisers go to Romney (Bushbot RINOs lining up to kneel before Romney)

George W. Bush-era energy policy wonks are finding a new home with Mitt Romney.

The former Massachusetts governor can count on support from a who’s who of former Bush officials willing to raise money, brainstorm policy ideas and generally help spread the word among the ranks of like-minded GOP energy experts.

Already on board the Romney train are Jim Connaughton, who ran Bush’s White House Council on Environmental Quality for all eight years; former Assistant Energy Secretary Andy Karsner; former EPA air chief Jeff Holmstead; and former EPA congressional affairs liaison Edward Krenik.

The former Bush officials all told POLITICO that they don’t have official roles in the Romney campaign. But they confirmed their support for Romney, yet another potential signal that the Washington establishment has decided who has the inside track for the GOP nomination.

“It’s pre-dating,” said a former Bush energy official. “Everybody sees the writing on the wall on who’s going to win, so they’re jumping over there.”

Any idiot who would strap the family Irish Setter to the luggage rack of their family station wagon for a 12 hour drive to Ontario from Massachusetts instead of putting the luggage up there and keeping the dog INSIDE the car, does not have enough common sense to wipe his ass, let alone serve as President of the United States.
