"The R's have passed an energy bill that increases our dependence on foreign oil by 85 percent by 2025, according to a 2004 report by the Energy Information Administration. No wonder the White House has to keep changing the science in these reports.

"One striking feature of the bill is a nifty little waiver for the manufacturers of the gasoline additive MTBE that lets them avoid liability suits filed since September 2003.

"MTBE is a toxic substance now working its way into various water supply sources. The waiver is worth billions to the manufacturers of MTBE, who happen to be clustered in the home districts of Majority Leader Tom DeLay and Texas Rep. Joe Barton, who is chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Surprise!"

Ain't that Tom DeLay a real corker?!
