Did Chimpy say anything about conserving oil?

[Sparkly]

I only caught part of his "speech." The AP article says:

"Our citizens must understand this storm has disrupted the capacity to make gasoline and to distribute gasoline," the president said.

(snip)

Bush said the Pentagon, as well, was contributing to the rescue and relief operations, and said he had instructed Energy Secretary Sam Bodman to work with refineries to "alleviate any shortage through loans."

Any call for the rest of the country to try to conserve fuel?

[skooooo]

1. Conservatives don't do conservation.

Just repeat this over and over to yourself, and eventually it will make sense. (maybe)

4. Are you kidding?

As Cheney said, conservation is only a personal virtue.

What would anybody in the Bush regime know about personal virtue?

6. No, Just Tolerate The Price Increases

And you know how investors, speculators, big oil will use this tragedy to line their pockets.

Well, the hurricane made prices increase, they'll say.

Meanwhile, their profits and executive salaries/bonuses are up.
