Bob Barr has gone mad. Pickens is a scam artist.
T bone is a selfish arrogant guy.
We need patriots who love this country
Pickens is a very shrewd dude. He drilled a bunch of wells on his Texas spread and created a bunch of “wetlands” that shelter all kinds of “endangered species.” In this way he totally co-opted the lefty-greenie-snailhugging enviroweenies.
To H with Pickens...he was right in the front of the line for government handouts when he was promoting wind energy.
Plus, his nit-wit wife is promoting a ridiculous wild horse refuge...which is fine, but like T Boone, she wants to do it with OPM...Other People’s Money.
The heck with appointing rich guys to anything. They have proven they are good at making money, so that’s what they should do.
If you want people who are smart and motivated, get a bunch of young self-made businessmen, with boundless energy and enthusiasm, and set them to work on problems that have nothing to do with their personal profit line.
For the interview take them to a Texas roadhouse and tell them they have one evening to get in a fight and win, make three friends, and get a date with a waitress. If they can do these things, they can handle working with congress.
How about not? This Perot wannabe has no business being in a position of power.
