Spilled Milk

That dirty son of a bitch hasn't even waited a week, and already he's backtracking on those ballsy statements about the U.S.'s addiction to oil.

One of his only good points (depending on how you look at him) is that he's bullheaded and stubborn, and once this fucker sets his mind to something, only Rove and Cheney can stop him. The problem is that he's almost always been bullheaded and stubborn about the wrong things at the wrong times in the wrong ways. This was something positive and (gasp!) almost leftist, but is here revealed as nothing more than political swaggering. Apparently during the state of the union, he was just playing to the pissed-off crowd of baby boomers who are sick of paying upwards of three dollars a gallon to fill up their H2s and Chevy Tahoes.

Ach, well. C'est la vie, non? I'll have a burger and some freedom fries. Extra ranch.
