Foreign oil causes spills Posted:

July 30, 2008

By Humberto Fontova

"An oil spill on the Mississippi River made for a powerful talking point for opponents of his (Mc Cain's) drilling plan." Brian Montopoli, CBS News, July 25.

"In selling his absurd coastline drilling plan to the American people, " said Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez last week, "McCain has time and again pointed to advanced technology that would supposedly eliminate the threat of massive oil spills. ... Having to cancel your big oil drilling photo op (in Louisiana last week) because of a massive oil spill is like canceling a crime safety photo op because the house next door just got robbed. Look up 'irony' in the dictionary and you will find a description of this turn of events."

Look up "idiocy" in the dictionary and you will find Menendez's comment. Look up "jackass" and you should find the faces of all the eminent journalists quoted above from the pages of America's most eminent journals.

There's nothing that requires politicians or "newspeople" to make sense.

Their comments have as much to do with domestic drilling as the price of bicycle tires.

The dumbasses did, however, make a mindless case for not using any oil whatsoever.
How did they get to their soundbites? donkeys? (no pun intended)

Have oil tankers spilled more than platforms? Why don’t Pelosi and the dems ban tankers while they’re saving the world?

Maybe Pelosi can get AlGore to invent a gigantic condom that can be securely placed on the ocean floor to help prevent unwanted seepage.

Big Money Idea...There is a ton of material on this site that can be used for a jaw dropping sitcom. Maybe an updated Conservative Family Guy.

==> “Maybe Pelosi can get AlGore to invent a gigantic condom that can be securely placed on the ocean floor to help prevent unwanted seepage.” <==

How about a giant condom placed on all democrats until enough of them die off and sanity returns?
