Chavez Draws Fire as Bush Nominee Withdraws
CAL THOMAS critiques the Chavez withdrawal as a liberal snuff job. He accuses Democrats of undermining Bush by attacking a principled charity case, contrasting Chavez’s aid to a homeless Guatemalan woman with immigration politics and questioning AFL-CIO scrutiny of past Clinton nominees. He portrays Chavez’s exit as political venom from Big Labor.

He notes lack of new generation due to environmental and regulatory hurdles, criticizes reliance on external sources, and links high costs to government-run or restricted supply.
