Conservativism != Conservationism

Cheney

“Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy.”
— Dick Cheney, 2001

Bush

“If it makes sense for the citizen out there to curtail nonessential travel, it darn sure makes sense for federal employees. We can encourage employees to car-pool or use mass transit, and we can shift peak electricity use to off-peak hours. There’s ways for the federal government to lead when it comes to conservation.”
— George W. Bush, 2005

Don’t blame me if the gas tanks run dry.

Oh, and don’t blame the horse whisperer if things went bad in Louisiana. Because it was everyone else’s fault but FEMA’s.
