PING!

[Brilliant]

So they aren’t drilling yet, but they will be very shortly. How does that help the Dems?

[Cold Heart]

Why do we have a CIA?

[RetiredArmy]

No, RED China is probably drilling in the Panama Canal.

Ok, so they havent sunk the first well yet, but they are preparing for it!! Whats the difference??

Congressional Democrats pounced on the vice president's remarks and were backed up by independent energy experts, who called the assertion hyperbole at best and a falsehood at worst.

Where were they 20 years ago when Ted Danson claimed that the oceans would be DEAD in 20 years if we didn't adopt the changes he advocated?

Where were they 35 years ago when John Kerry claimed that he witnessed and participated in war crimes?

Both now claim their comments were merely hyperbole to draw attention to their issues.

Funny how that works when the Left lies to congress.

[alecqss]

It is complete falsehood to say that I’m eating at this restaurant. Waitress just took my order a minute ago!

[JamesP81]

Oh, so it’s not the ChiComs, it’s the Cubans. That’s so much better. /sarc

[TigersEye]

So they aren’t drilling but they will be drilling? O Keeeeee Do Keeeeee.

Did George Will cite the May, 2006 edition of the New York Times as his source that drilling was already underway? After all, drilling was to commence in 2006:

Cuba Plans Offshore Wells Banned in U.S. Waters
By MICHAEL JANOFSKY
WASHINGTON, May 8 — In 1977, the United States and Cuba signed a treaty that evenly divided the Florida Straits to preserve each country’s economic rights. They included access to vast underwater oil and gas fields on both sides of the line.

Now, with energy costs soaring, plans are under way to drill this year — but all on the Cuban side...<<

PLANS...UNDERWAY...TO...DRILL...THIS YEAR...(2006)!!!

The Maha's idea -

Post the price in the mouths of Democrats. It'll work.

Rush Offers Quick Fix for Prices
June 13, 2008

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I have a fast fix for energy, a fast fix for the energy prices. There is no instant cure, as we know, for rising energy prices, but as your host, I, El Rushbo, have a plan to get on the right track sooner rather than later. As close to a quick fix as humanly possible. It all starts with our gas stations. We do have gas stations out there. And these gas stations pump regular gas, and they pump premium gas. Some of them pump diesel. On every pump, every pump that distributes regular gas, we post a picture of Harry Reid with the price appearing in his mouth. On every premium pump, we post a picture of Nancy Pelosi with the price upticking in her wonderful smile; that you could drive up to any station and ask for a tank full of Reid or you could ask for a tank full of Pelosi. We would explore, we would drill, we would refine faster than a liberal can attack a Republican.

You gas station guys, you want to turn the profit in your business? Go out and get some pictures of Reid and Pelosi, stick 'em on your pumps, put the price in there. And then when the self-serve people come up just make 'em say they want to fill up with Reid, fill up with Pelosi.

[RightWhale]

So that’s they story. If the Republicans were retailing this they would be damaging themselves since everything is blamed on them.
