Intelligence from the Right

I heard today that Newt Gingrich said something intelligent. Here it is:

"If we can't respond faster than this to an event we saw coming across the Gulf for days, then why do we think we're prepared to respond to a nuclear or biological attack

Bill O'Reilly even said something smart:

"America's failure to conserve energy is a disgrace and the Bush administration has done little to encourage conservation," O'Reilly said. "This country uses 25% of all the world's oil as we hop around in gas-guzzling cars and generally waste energy all day long. We have to stop that."

"There's no question in my mind that OPEC and the oil companies are gouging us simply because they can! So, let's buy less gas. In fact. let's buy no gas on Sundays. The U. S. A. should have a gas-free Sundays campaign between now and Christmas. None of us should buy gas on our day of rest."

"The oil companies and OPEC only make money only if we buy their stuff. if we cut back even 10% on energy buying, they'll get hurt. Let's all do it. If we don't, the national economy will totter and we'll all be poorer."

With that kind of whining I might have to stop and join up with the Republicans.
