A Shortage of Energy: "resident Bush seems to have been the recipient of poor intelligence again. Last weekend, he claimed that the energy bill approved by Republican leaders would make the country 'more secure.' Senator John McCain's description of the bill as a 'leave no lobbyist behind' barrel of pork for selected industries and campaign contributors was closer to the truth. So was Senator Robert Byrd's unsparing judgment that the bill would 'do about as much to improve the nation's energy security as the administration's invasion of Iraq has done to stem the tide of global terrorism.'"
