Reporter asks Bush to parrot Jimmah

The president had a news conference the other day to talk about oil, the economy, etc.  Moron reporter Mark Smith from the AP asks the following genius question:

Why have you not called on Americans to drive less and turn down their thermostats?

Bush’s response:

People are smart enough to figure out whether they should drive less…it’s presumptuous to do so…they can decide. Of course they should conserve…let them decide.

True enough.  But my response would have been one or more of the following:

• Americans ARE driving less, you dolt. And in case you haven’t noticed, Einstein, it’s SUMMER! Ergo, people HAVE turned DOWN their thermostats so they won’t FRY! Who else has a genius question?
• You aren’t, by chance, related to Jimmy Carter, are you?
• Good point, Mark. I mean, my approval ratings are in the crapper, which makes you MSM guys giddier than Michelle Obama at a Whole Foods store during a “buy one arugula, get one free” sale. Yet you think Americans are going to listen to such a massively unpopular guy telling them the LAST thing they want to hear? Friggin’ brilliant, man.
• Maybe you can take this opportunity to tell America, Mark, why it is that you liberals are all about bringing DOWN our standards of living instead of raising them? You want EVERYONE to be equally depressed? “Misery loves company”, I guess.
• You were an abused child…weren’t you, Mark?

Any others?
