...aspect of the Bush fiasco is that it is a rare instance of definite political payback. That is, Bush did something clearly egregious--put a big $250 cowboy boot right in the old mouth--in calling for price controls, and the voters in the rest of non-Texas America, still a sizable majority, will be quick to pay him back for his short-sighted comments...
