T. Boone Pickens
Ray, I saw your interview with Pickens, and I liked the way you handled the fellow's interest in wind and natural gas. Thank you for reminding us he was behind the Swift Boat propaganda machinery. You were right to ask him what's in it for him. Pickens, the propagandist who can transform a man's honorable war record into something like a criminal record with a rub of his magic decoder ring, ought not to be trusted in any of his judgments, projects, or opinions. I say this even as I value solar and wind power. Sure, we'll welcome his support, but he's not one of us.
