Drop those tutus, dammit!! "Member of Arbusto administration task force asked that California be avoided in energy report"

An e-mail from a high-ranking staff member of the bushleague administration's energy task force said officials were "desperately trying to avoid California" in a report dealing with the energy crisis last year, Rep. Henry Waxman said Monday.

The e-mail, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by watchdog and environmental groups and also provided to Waxman, was largely redacted, and neither administration officials nor the congressman could say specifically what the task force staffer was discussing.

But Waxman seized on the missive to turn the heat up on the White House to release all documents relating to the task force's discussions about California's energy crisis. He said the e-mail raised questions about whether the widespread deletion of information from thousands of pages of documents turned over by federal agencies was the result of the administration's claims that disclosure would chill frank and open discussion or was intended to avoid embarrassment.



More on The Impotent Impotentate's Invidiousness

Daddy's Little Doofus is having a tantrum. Even his nannies express exasperation about twice-elected Bill Clinton's impromptu session with Abdullah two weeks ago, and they are annoyed by Jimmy Carter's trip to Cuba, which began Sunday with a red-carpet reception. WH officials see the visit, the first by a sitting or former U.S. president since the 1959 revolution, as a public-relations boon for Fidel Castro and a forum for Carter to espouse closer economic and diplomatic ties with Cuba -- views that conflict with administration policy. Well boo-f*cking-hoo.

The Bush the elder-and-slightly-smarter is the only former president who is engaged as an adviser to and informal envoy for the White House, although he never talks about it. So there!


Jimmy Carter: Napoleon Bonehead is a lying sack o' sh!t

Former President Carter challenged conservatives in the U.S. government Monday to prove their charges that Cuba has developed biological weapons technology and shared it with such renegade states as Iran, delivering a sharp broadside to the Crayola Crackhead administration over the bioterrorism allegations.

Carter even suggested at a forum that included Castro that administration officials misled either him or the American people about those allegations. "In preparation for this unprecedented visit, I requested, and we all received, intense briefings from the State Department, the intelligence agencies of my country, and high officials in the White House ... for them to share with us any concerns that my government had about possible terrorist activities that were supported by Cuba," Carter said after more than two hours of briefings by Cuban scientists at the country's premier biotechnology research center.

"There were absolutely no such allegations made or questions raised. I asked them specifically on more than one occasion: 'Is there any evidence that Cuba has been involved in sharing any information to any other country on Earth that could be used for terrorist purposes? And the answer from our experts on intelligence was, 'No' "
