Roscoe Bartlett is a true American Hero and Patriot.

It must be a terrible shock to him, as a Republican, to learn that the Invisible Hand has foresaken him.

U.S. Congressman Bartlett has even gone directly to the leader of his party (GWB) to explain "the problem", only to be told that some things are more "urgent" than others and that Peak Oil does not even make the "urgent" list. It is merely "important" but not important enough to be "urgent".
