Where My Hydrocarbons At?

George W. Bush and John McCain may want more oil drilling off the coast of Florida, but their scheme will probably be stopped by (of all things) a boat shortage. (Oh no, Charlie Crist will never be our secretly gay Vice President now! )

Even though members of the Bush Administration once had oil tankers named after them , they were apparently unaware that all of the worlds deep sea oil drilling vessels are "booked solid" for the next five years. It's always amazing when this administration's grand plans are undone by their total lack of foresight.
