Well, let’s see….would I rather throw money at OPEC or Cheney and his cronies? Gotta admit, that’s a tough one.
By the way, it will take years before the oil from these sources will be on the market. My money’s on the push for alternative energy. But you want to go ahead and scar pristine wilderness for short term Cheney-crony gain, good luck to your children and grandchildren.

It is legal to explore for oil and gas on BLM lands. Also, with the proper environmental documents, it is also legal to extract these resources. In addition, these activities can be accomplished with minimal impacts to the land.

If you would rather throw money at OPEC and other oil producing countries that hate America and what we stand for, then I would suggest we continue to follow our current course of action and say we are going to use alternative energy sources (which are not availabe and will take years before they supplant current energy resources).

If it was up to the NRDC, they would call every acre with a rock and tree on it ….. pristine wilderness. If you want to extract resources for energy without any ground disturbing activities, good luck to you. Another option, is to extract the energy from poorer third world countries that would extract the resources and ravage the environment.

As a former Utahn, I have spent many days in Arches and surrounding areas. It doesn’t have to be within the National Park boundary to be a rare and beautiful land. Perhaps the most striking aspect (when you get away from tourists and unfortunate traffic) is the utter stillness and silence. Only the occasional breeze or caw of a solitary raven breaks it, and at times all you can hear is your own heartbeat.
Can’t wait to hear the hum of an oil rig to remind us who we are as a greedy, short-sighted species.

Just think, in one month, what these people think won’t matter one bit.

I’m sure Perino is confused by many things, but this isn’t one of them. This is a classic Rovian strategy of misdirection: mischaracterize the criticism of an opponent, and erect a useful straw man doing so. Since asking a pathological liar questions is obviously useless, reporters should simply ask her what her boss is hiding from these days, and if he expects to spend the rest of his failed life hiding from it.

I wonder how long the escrow periods on these sales contracts are? If the closing date isn’t till after January 20, seems to me the new Administration could step and and stop the closings.

“Perino Confused”?

When has she NOT been?

There is nothing at all blind about the hatred which I bear for all things “Bush.” It is wide-eyed, knowing, purposeful, and all-consuming. I want to watch as Bush and all his minions are consumed, alive, by quick-lime, and all their earthly remainders reduced to muck and dust. And then I want to throw water on them.

Hate Bush? You do not know the fuuking half of it…

Apparently, Republicans handle catastrophic defeat by saying crazy things.

Of all the phrases that a reasonable person might apply to Robert Redford, “blind hatred” is glaringly absent. The Right’s tendency to project their own worst qualities onto us can be very irritating.

Then again, maybe they’ve simply come unglued. It can’t be easy watching your party deconstruct itself.

I’m dead, right? Please tell me that I’m dead and that this is Hell; so that it can’t possibly get any worse (i.e. Rick Warren delivering the invocation). Fear not that I “can’t handle the truth”. Death has a way of rendering any and all truth exquisitely sublime!

Drilling On Federal Lands? Is this about the Cuban missile crisis ‘thingy’?

I am so grateful Dana Perino explained it so simply to all us children.

It is blind hate that wants to preserve our national heritage. Only those that disagree with Bush are spewing rhetoric and are hypobolic.

Dana should tend to any crediblity she may have left.

As one before Dana has recently come out with his truth and his disgust with the lying. Example of the Scooter Libby debacle was one.

Dana should really do adult films when she leaves the White House. It’s her only hope to keep her in that comfy tax bracket.

Her first film could be called, “Journalistic Infidelities” or “Being Pounded on the Podium”.

There might have been a time when hatred of Bush was blind, like, maybe five minutes after his inauguration, but not now.

Perino is a ditz and has always been confused. That is exactly why she was hired by Bushco. I will be sure to give money to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the future. Good luck Ms. Perino–we are not as dumb as your overlords think we are.

quad 0s, please, spare the melodrama. After the inauguration, there’ll be plenty of time to send these bastards to justice.

And out glorious “agent of change” – Obama – can’t stop this nonsense? Where are the impeachment instructions? Why can’t he simply take charge from a president who has been a destructive lame duck for the last four years?

That’s downright treasonous to refuse to save one’s country…

Perino’s only job is to parrot the Bush administration’s policy, and to rationalize insane decisions. That’s what she’s paid to do. I think that’s true of any White House Press Secy. They are only as honest is the administration which they are representing. This group has been a nightmare, but hopefully (and I have my fears), that nightmare will end in about a month. And I can’t wait to change my screen name!
