Of course Curry is going to do some heavy lifting for her Democratic brethren. If Curry and the rest of the MSM can continue to fan the flames of discontent over high gas prices perhaps they can get the change in Congress that they are so desperately hoping for.

I loathe the MSM types for NEVER pointing out that we are thus affected by such a small shut down in large measure because environmental wackos - whom she, and the rest of the MSM wholeheartedly supports - have completely restricted our access to ANWAR, offshore drilling, and nuclear power! Is there any wonder why a small pebble in our shoe completely debilitates us??

Amen! Also, ever notice how MSM reporters are now asking for more and more conclusions from the person reporting the story, rather than backing up any conclusions/generalizations with hard research? Watch the evening news and listen for: "According to a recent ABC (or fill in your own MSM network) poll, the demand for crude oil is now perfectly inelastic." (or some other equally stupid statement). They're making up their own news! I even asked to see an ABC poll a few years back about building power plants and was told: "The poll is not available to the general public". Believe me, anyone who is adept at writing questionnaires can word them in ways that produce the results they want.
