Hillary Blames Bush for Blackout

Just hours after the Northeastern power grid went down shutting off electricity for 50 million Americans, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton took to the airwaves to blame President Bush and his administration's energy policies for pushing deregulation and coddling corrupt power companies like Enron.

"I happen to think that making sure we have a reliable, affordable system of energy is a national priority - and I don't think that this administration sees it that way," Clinton told CNN's "Larry King Live."

"They have continued to try to push deregulation and privatization, and to try to undo a lot of the systems in changes that many of us thought were important and necessary that we tried to work on during the Clinton administration under [Former Energy] Secretary [Bill] Richardson's leadership."

Sen. Clinton also accused the White House of throwing "a lot of roadblocks in the way of [Calif. Gov. Gray] Davis, when he tried to clean up some of the problems that he had with the manipulation of the energy markets by Enron and others."

"So, no," she insisted, "I don't think the federal administration under this president is really focused on making sure we don't have these problems in the future."

Before Clinton phoned in her comments to the King Show, however, Gov. Richardson, now governor of New Mexico, noted that her husband had done little to address the problem during his eight years in office.

"In the Clinton administration, everybody yawned about this, [saying] oh, we don't need to do this. Oh, we don't have a crisis," he told King.

[dyed_in_the_wool]

So the dems did a lot and did nothing.
And they can't figure out why they're a laughingstock.
If I was Bush I would scream that it's time to implement his energy plan. That would shut her up.

[You Dirty Rats]

Bitch.

""I happen to think that making sure we have a reliable, affordable system of energy is a national priority - and I don't think that this administration sees it that way," Clinton told CNN's "Larry King Live." "

Spoken like a true shrew!

I heard her spewing her venom last night on MSNBC to Lester Holt. It was all I could do not to throw my remote control through the television set.

She is so full of used food...

Then why do you want to shutdown the nuclear power plant, Krusty? That's the most reliable/affordablepower there is?

Uh-Oh....could you just be...(gulp) POLITICISING this whole thing??

[John123]

NIMBY (sigh).

Whoa! That’s the real story. What’s up with Richardson?

Where's a big meteorite when you need one?

"She" is a NY Senator! Her husband was in control for 8 years, I mean out of control! Bill Richardson was his buddy! This has not been taken care of since Kennedy in 65', what is her mental illness?

[JustPiper]

Succint and right on!

[Quilla]

Don't forget the ever faithful STFU.

[JustPiper]

We've been posting the Dems had nothing new to spew in the past few weeks.

[Loyal Buckeye]

And there goes Richardson's chance of becoming the VP in Camelot, take II.

Hey hillary!, you should keep your mouth SHUT if you don't know what you're talking about (which would be all of the time).

For two years, the Bush administration and leaders of congressional energy committee have called for new legislation to help expand the transmission system, but a major energy bill has yet to get through Congress.

System's Crash Was Predicted

Congress. Isn't that where hillary! works (and I use the word loosely)?
