In the words of Bill O"reilly (to Senator Hillary Clinton) "Shut Up!"
Hillary Clinton has once again come out blasting President George W. Bush, this time over something the President could have done to avoid the blackout last week.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but hasn't Hillary Clinton been a Senator longer than Geirge W. Bush has been President? Isn't the U.S. Senate one of three seperate but co-equal branches of our government? And as a member of th Senate doesn't Hillary Clinton share just as much responsibility as does President Bush?
Of course, there's nothing any politician can do to prevent chance catastrophic events like the blackout, and any politician who says otherwise is reaching for your checkbook.
And every time Hillary Clinton accuses President Bush of not doing something to fix the problem de jur, we should all remember that she has been a member of the Senate longer than George W. Bush has been President.
(And she was our co-President for 8 years too, as I recall, when we got 2 for the price of 1. Pretty high price at that.)
