...cupholder, crank up the radio and drive off into the wide open spaces. Mass transit is for pointy-headed Easterners, and every room should be as cool as a meat locker. Don't have enough energy? Drill for it like a crazed dentist. If that doesn't do the trick, let's blast for coal and rebuild Three Mile Island. These are people from out West, where there's land, lots of land under sunny skies above, and no one will be fenced in by $3-a-gal. gas. You may recognize the type. They're in charge...

Smartly, the White House put pro-privatization Democrats to work, including former New York Senator Pat Moynihan. That helps deflect charges of table-rigging by allowing the White House to say the group is "bipartisan...
