As a general rule about Bush & Co., the more closely a policy is associated with Dick Cheney, the worse it is. Which brings us to energy policy -- remember his secret task force? In the long history of monumentally bad ideas, the Cheney policy is a standout for reasons of both omission and commission. Dumb, dumber and dumbest.
Ponder this: Next year, the administration will phase out the $2,000 tax credit for buying a hybrid vehicle, which gets over 50 miles per gallon, but will leave in place the $25,000 tax write-off for a Hummer, which gets 10-12 mpg. That's truly crazy, and that's truly what the whole Cheney energy policy is.

How did anyone ever expect a dumb and dumber ( Bush and Cheney) to not allow the gas guzlers of this country to continue to sop up gasoline at outrageous prices,it's peculiar that people who can afford to spend ridiculous amounts of money on gasoline can be so stupid,by letting their Republican buddies steal from them,I guess no one said that Republicans have to be smart,I guess they have to be rich.I wonder how we are going to be free from these chins of greed,maybe never so,I hope not!
