Fox News commentator Bill O?Reilly and the editorial crew over at The Orange County Register often delight their conservative audiences with savage attacks on Democrats while rationalizing or ignoring Republican Party shenanigans. Take, for example, California?s recent power crisis. O?Reilly and the Register angrily blamed Democrats and environmentalists for the state?s pathetic electric-regulatory system. Never mind the system was designed by Republican power-company lobbyists in league with Republican manufacturing executives and approved in 1996 when Pete Wilson, a Republican, was governor; when Curt Pringle, a Republican, was speaker of the Assembly; and when Republicans controlled the California Public Utilities Commission.
