Presi-DUH!-nt Know How Make Go-juice

Anybody see the clip of Bush on The Daily Show two nights ago speaking to the Renewable Fuels Association? Ignoring the irony of an oil baron speaking to an alternative fuels consortium, I almost jumped off the couch screaming at the moron as he smirked and then paused to emphasize that gasoline is a product of oil.

Take a moment to let that sink in....

Bush...pointed out to a panel of energy experts...that gasoline...comes from oil.

Well…DUH!!! Does he think that an association of energy experts needs him to clear up that big mystery for them? Does he think anyone in the world with two brain cells to rub together would need that pointed out?? Instead of a real President proposing plans to fix our energy crisis (better still, a President who, along with his best buds, didn't CAUSE the energy crisis), we get a dundering Pretzeldent who thinks time needs to be spent pointing out to energy experts that gas comes from oil. If he thinks that's pertinent information to share with the Renewable Fuels Association, it's no wonder every one of his oil compaines either went tits up or was taken over. In fact, maybe the reason his companies did so poorly is because he's just now figuring this out!

Seriously. It's getting to be too much. It was funny with Dan Quayle. He was harmless and entertaining. "Potatoe". It was funny. We all had a good laugh and nobody died, no sovereign nations were invaded, nobody tortured and killed, and you didn't need to mortgage the house to buy enough gas to get yourself to and from work. It was good to have Quayle around to laugh at. But Bush…Jesus Christ, there are kindergarteners more intelligent and capable of leading than he is. How did he get to where he is? (It's rhetorical...I know it's because of family connections and not because he's qualified...hell, he's not even qualified to wander around in public unattended). Shouldn't he be one of the people lucky just to have survived the winter, not being able to afford the gas bill? Shouldn't he be stranded somewhere in the middle of the Bible Belt because he couldn't afford to fill up the tank and thought a buck-fiddy could get him home? Is anyone else's spine cringing over the fact that Bush is so stupid, and was so proud of knowing that gas comes from oil, that he was giddy with the pleasure of sharing his knowledge on national television?
