WASHINGTON — In a surprise move, President Bush yesterday tapped a
deputy Treasury secretary and former chemical-engineering professor with
limited energy-policy expertise to be his new energy secretary.

Bush asked Samuel Bodman, 66, to advance a second-term energy agenda
that includes ramping up domestic-energy development to help wean the
nation from foreign oil and to push the president's energy plan, which
went nowhere the past four years. One controversial proposal: Open the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.

Bodman could face criticism because of his previous stewardship of a
Boston chemical firm, Cabot, which often ran afoul of federal and state
environmental laws.




Ah, yes...the perfect Bush nominee...incompetent except in running afoul
of laws he doesn't like.

Well...he's competent at doing what Bush needs: Skirting the law, and
****ing future generations right up the ass with a rough stick.
