While on the campaign trail in 2000, Bush told President Bill Clinton how to handle OPEC, in public no less. “What I think the president ought to do," he said, "is he ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say we expect you to open your spigots."

And in a brilliant, highly educational follow-up comment, Bush informed the audience: "One reason why the price is so high is because the price of crude oil has been driven up."

"OPEC has gotten its supply act together," Bush advised listeners, "and it's driving the price, like it did in the past."

"And," he said in direct advice to Clinton, "the president of the United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the prices."

1. And the price was $1.50, no doubt as a favor to W from his buddies

to give him a talking point for elections. Not unlike they did for Poppy by holding the hostages until Raygun's inauguration Day when they were released.

full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

5. Wise words of wisdom and incredible insight...brought to you by

Mr.-Free-and-Easy-with-the-Advice George W. Bush.

His intelligence and profound thoughts continue to evade people.

6. The Dems should figure out a way...

to turn that into a campaign commercial. Play those words over and over, in TV, radio and print. Over and over....

8. Yes, the Jawbone of an Ass

Only the jawbone of the ass in question -- Bush -- is going to slay his own people this time.
